Lesson 21: Initiation

“Initiation is life itself, experienced with wisdom and love”

In every Initiation process man must live a specific course, take an apprenticeship and face trials.
With each Initiation he conquers, man:
- Gets closer to his Being.
- Reaches a higher internal level.
- Gains more freedom, love, wisdom, power, happiness, etc.
Initiations are something internal that are received by the Being, not by the earthly personality.

When a person accepts and begins to practice the 3 Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness, he begins to walk the initiatic path.

An Initiate is a man of impeccable behavior who sees life and all events as opportunities:

Trial	What We Are Dealing With	What We Need
Fire	Anger, Pride	Understanding and calmness
Air	Thoughts, Doubts, Insecurities	Solar Faith, Confidence
Water	Passion, Lust, Life problems	Chastity, Adaptation in life’s situations
Earth	Adhesion to material things	Non-adhesion to material things
Guardian Causal	Evil will of humanity	To confront the Guardian presented to us
Guardian Mental	Evil mind of humanity	To confront the Guardian presented to us
Guardian Astral	Defects of the person	To confront the Guardian presented to us

After passing the Guardian of the Threshold and all four Elements tests, one proceeds to the Initiations of the Minor Mysteries.
When he completes the 9th, he gets the degree “Master of the Minor Mysteries”
In order to pass to the Initiations of the Major Mysteries one needs:
- To have finished the 9 Minor Mysteries
- To work in Alchemy in a couple (Man - Woman).
- To have created the Solar Bodies.

The 9 Minor Mysteries:

The Initiations of the Major Mysteries

Each Initiation of the Major Mysteries is related to one of the 7 human bodies.
At each Initiation of the Major Mysteries the Kundalini of the respective body awakens and begins its ascent through the spine.
- Each body has its own Snake and its own spine.
The Kundalini rises very slowly, according to two things:
- The values of the heart.
  - Each vertebra has its own tests and requires specific values.
- The practice of Alchemy.
  - Sexual alchemy gives the impulse so that the Kundalini can ascend.
  - If the Initiate loses the sexual energy, the Kundalini falls one or more vertebrae depending on the size of the fault.

The 7 Major Initiations:

The Initiation of Aphrodite

The Initiate, having already raised the Fire Snakes, must give them a higher octave and turn them into Light Snakes.
- Fire Snakes allow man to have the necessary structure so that he can incarnate and express his Inner Being.
- The Snakes of Light allow man to have the necessary structure so that he can incarnate and express his Inner Christ.

The Labors of Hercules

The Inner Christ must work on the various hells to cleanse them.
- The Inner Christ is Hercules, who must perform the 12 labors so that we can return to the Absolute.
- When he completes the 9 Labors he reaches the top of the Second Mountain, where he must pass through the inner crucifixion: to die and be resurrected.
- With the resurrection he incarnates the Holy Spirit and he is now a resurrected Master.

At the Third Mountain the Initiate must perform the last 3 Labors of Hercules in order to be able to return to the Absolute.
- In the 10th Labor he incarnates the Son
- In the 11th Labor he incarnates the Father
- In the 12th Labor he incarnates the Solar Absolute
