In the hierarchy of achievement, men are lifted, step by step, up the long ladder reaching from earth to heaven, to stand eventually before the Initiator

The Initiations represent a path way that spirit takes to learn wisdom. The wisdom represents lifetimes of growth and accomplishment. The soul jumps into form and has a Birth. It is the Fool in the Tarot off on his great adventure. The ladder represent the steps skyward and off the Earth plane.
Birth first
initiation The first
rung on the ladder represents birth and a person just sitting there making
the choice to come to Earth. The
birth begins with the journey of the soul into form. It is a decisive act.
One that constitutes meeting with the karmic board to decide what it is that
you will take on this life as lessons and also as gifts. There is a choice
of parents and a choice of older siblings. There is a choice of how the form
will look. The appearance is either a gift or a lesson. The soul choices could
be a familiar body or one that is totally different then any experience. The
Fool jumps into the costume of form. The Fool is a complimentary term for
bravery. The maze represents the journey and the free will and the brick walls
one is likely to find.
But like any initiation, it is a step that begets wisdom. The fool becomes
the initiate. The graduated soul with his degrees of accomplishment.
Baptism 2nd InitiationThe second rung on the
ladder represents Baptism. To be baptized is a ritual of recognition, of purpose
here on Earth., We emerge from the waters into a state of consciousness of
a new spiritual reality. The Baptism of the being known as Jesus in Jordan.
This is the baptism to which John the Baptist referred us, telling us that
the baptism of the Holy Spirit and of fire must be administered to us by Christ.
The Christ being the title of the initiate who is the light bearer, the avatar,
the holy one and the world teacher.
In baptism we become aware of our mission for this life. Our mission is to
pursue our gifts and that will make us happy doing what we love and have passion
for. When we are happy we are a gift for everyone else.
Transformation
3rd InitiationTransfiguration/Transformation: like Jesus, we are totally transformed and receive authority from that experience. The command goes forth to us, "Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." is called the Transfiguration and is symbolized by the Transfiguration of the time Jesus was on the Mount. It demonstrates control over the mental body and brings in the understanding of contact with your higher self. The higher self is desiring to transform it’s mental, emotional and physical bodies. It is the work of a spiritual warrior.
Crucifixion 4th InitiationThe Crucifixion. Death:
we must choose to die so that we live and we gain the wisdom that spirit offers.
This is also called the Great Renunciation, with it’s lessons of sacrifice
and it’s plea to the death of the lower nature. Renunciation, understanding
when situations are renounced as a choice, as example, a position, friends,
family, even life itself for the choice of a higher, spiritual life. You are
not born to be a corporate head, a mother, a brother, a friend, you are here
as a spiritual warrior on your journey. The spiritual warrior dies daily to
the attachment of others, possessions and addictions. It is not saying that
you can’t have it all, it is saying you can’t need (fill in the
blank) to feel whole. The need shows up in the fear of not having in order
to be happy. So you get addicted to the person, the job, the pursuit of worldly
pleasures. There is no time or place for Spirit to live. It lower nature human
has to die the symbolic death in order for the spirit to live. You can have
it all, the joy, the peace, the happiness, it comes when you put your spirit
first, which lives love to it’s highest ability. The initiate must pursue
what living love at the highest level actually means.
Resurrection
5th InitiationResurrection
Resurrection then follows, the fifth Initiation, the Resurrection, symbolized by the resurrection of the body of Jesus after the Crucifixion. Each Initiation attracts to the bodies of the Initiate matter of sub-atomic particles - literally light. By the fourth Initiation the bodies of the Initiate are creating more light by letting go of the shadows. This process is completed at the fifth or Resurrection Initiation, when the Initiate stands free from the pull of the lower nature of matter for ever, as a perfected Master. This is when the master teaches back to humanity what it knows as a world teacher and avatar.
Ascension 6th InitiationThe Ascension, the final triumph which enables the initiate to take the light body and ascend.
The Comforter, is the moving that light body back to the Entity self. (see the previous page on description of the Entity) The other initiations or degrees are not done on the Earth plane.
Next page is on the pentagram and what is not known about it and how it was used in the Atlantean Healing Temples. I read Dan Brown's book on "The Da Vinchi Code" and decided the record needed to be set straight on the Pentagram.
