The Seven-Fold Path of Initiation
Ray 1 & 1st Initiation (The Birth): The initial drive to align the personal will with the Divine Will. It is the first "push" into a spiritual life.
Ray 2 & 2nd Initiation (The Baptism): Mastering the emotional body through Love and Wisdom. Developing the "sensitive" nature required for higher service.
Ray 3 & 3rd Initiation (The Transfiguration): Integrating the mental body. Using Active Intelligence to manifest the Soul’s intent without the interference of the lower mind.
Ray 4 & 4th Initiation (The Renunciation): The bridge. The "vacuum" where the lower ego is sacrificed. It is the struggle for balance between the human and the Divine.
Ray 5 & 5th Initiation (The Revelation): Discerning Truth with "surgical precision." This is often where the initiate achieves a direct vision of the Plan and the Atmic field.
Ray 6 & 6th Initiation (The Decision): Total devotion to a specific path of Higher Evolution. Choosing which of the seven cosmic paths to tread.
Ray 7 & 7th Initiation (The Resurrection): Bringing Spirit into Matter. The complete anchoring of the "Order of the Spirit" on the physical plane.
The 8th Initiation: The Oversoul
By placing the 8th Initiation at the level of the Oversoul, one is moving into the "Monadic" realm. At this stage, the dualities of the rays and the struggles of human evolution are essentially transcended, as the consciousness is no longer confined to the causal body or the individual soul record.
