THE PATH OF INITIATION: A JOURNEY INTO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS: 3D-5D & BEYOND

The Path of Initiation: A Journey into Higher Consciousness: 3D-5D & Beyond

​Initiation is a profound rite of passage that takes an individual on a transformative journey toward higher levels of consciousness evolution and mastery. It introduces the initiate to a new way of existence, one that is deeply connected to the mystical and esoteric realms of human experience. In this blog, we will explore the mysterious path of initiation, its stages, and the qualities required to embark on this sacred journey.

The ancient wisdom teachings speak of a series of events on the inner planes of an individual as they approach the final stages of their Self-realization process. This process is directed by the Masters of Wisdom, non-physical beings of higher consciousness who have achieved freedom from cycles of rebirth and assist humanity’s consciousness evolution. Initiates are guided to significant events, teachers, and information that introduce them to the mysterious knowledge of the Occult Sciences and Esoteric Psychology. 

The Occult Path - The MysteriesBefore we dive into the intricacies of initiation, it's important to note that not everyone is meant to follow this path. The path of initiation is not for the faint of heart or those who are not truly prepared. It is a challenging and strenuous journey that should come naturally to an individual, rather than being forced upon them.

For most people, the typical path of spiritual growth involves karmic progression and the practice of virtues. This path can be followed at one's own pace, accelerating or decelerating as needed. It is a path of devotion and moral effort.

However, there exists an alternative route, the occult path, which involves a series of initiations under the guidance of a Master. This path is not for everyone, and it requires a specific set of qualities and attributes.
​
Qualities Required for the Occult Path

• Perfect Unselfishness: Initiates on the occult path must possess a self-forgetting, self-annihilating devotion to the greater good of humanity. Their moral worth is tested, and they must choose between the use of dark or white magic, with a commitment to restraining negative thoughts and letting go of personal reactions.
  
  
• Impersonal Devotion: A true disciple must become an impersonal force of good for humanity. Their attachment to benevolence and the greater good should be stronger than any attachment to personal reactions or desires.
  
  
• Gradual Withdrawal from the Material: As initiates progress on the occult path, they gradually detach from material desires and attachments, focusing more on spiritual growth and service to humanity.
  
  

The Path of Probation
For those who possess the necessary qualities and are deemed fit for the occult path, a period of probation awaits. During this time, the Master offers guidance and instruction on the inner planes, often through dreams and astral experiences. The disciple is subjected to various tests, facing their own shadows and enduring difficulties.

This period of probation, often said to last seven years, serves to purify the disciple through challenges and tests. It is a time to pay off karmic debts and overcome obstacles from the past. The initiate's response to suffering and difficulties is a critical aspect of this phase.

The Master-Disciple Relationship:
After completing the probationary period, the initiate is accepted as a regular disciple. At this stage, the Master blends their aura with the disciple's, and the influence of the Master begins to flow through the disciple. This connection is established on the inner planes, and the disciple may or may not be consciously aware of it.

The Path of Initiation:
The path of initiation is not a single event but a series of stages that lead the initiate toward heightened consciousness and spiritual evolution. The time between each initiation takes several lifetimes and the Initatite repeats each initiation in each life. The final life will include all 5 stages. Here are the key stages:

1. Spiritual Rebirth: Stream-Enterer: Sotopanna
This is the first stage of true initiation. At this stage, the initiate begins to release their identification with the limited self or egoic identity. They also gain insights into the occult teachings of karma, reincarnation, and universal law.

2. Baptism: Once Returner: Sakadagami
The spiritual wisdom and intuitive intelligence of the initiate are cultivated at this stage. Mental and causal bodies develop, and psychic and intellectual capacities increase.

3. Transfiguration: Non-Returner: Anagami
The initiate releases sensual desires and realizes that true fulfillment comes from unity with the Self rather than the external world. They release attractions, repulsions, anger, and ill-will, focusing on unity and harmony.

4. Crucifixion: Arahant
At this stage, the initiate faces the ultimate test. They must endure a period of inner darkness, where they confront their deepest fears and challenges. This dark night of the soul is a crucial step before the final initiation.

5. Resurrection: Adept, Master of Wisdom:
At the highest stage of initiation, the adept becomes a Master of Wisdom, free while living. They stand in the light of Nirvana as divine will in form, serving humanity and potentially even the broader universe. This is the 1st stage of entry into the Superhuman Kingdom of which several stages of Ascendency exist beyond. In the New Age teachings, this is true 5D living in Christ Consciousness.

The Importance of the Path of Initiation
The path of initiation is not for everyone, and it is not to be taken lightly. It is a journey of profound transformation and self-realization. Those who are ready for this path will be approached by a Master and guided through the stages of initiation. Each stage tests the initiate's commitment, character, and ability to serve humanity with wisdom and love.

As we reflect on the path of initiation, we are reminded of the wisdom and guidance offered by the Masters of Wisdom, who assist humanity in its evolution toward higher consciousness. This path is a sacred and mysterious journey that, when undertaken with dedication and sincerity, can lead to a deeper understanding of the self and the universe, ultimately allowing individuals to serve as beacons of light and wisdom for the benefit of all.

Third-Dimensional to Fourth-Dimensional Consciousness
In the New Age models of consciousness progression, the transition from third-dimensional consciousness (3D) to fourth-dimensional consciousness (4D)is often seen as a profound shift in awareness. Third-dimensional consciousness is characterized by a strong attachment to the material world, duality, and the ego. It is a state of separation and limited perception.

This transition parallels the early stages of initiation, particularly the stage of Spiritual Rebirth (Stream-Enterer). In both cases, the individual begins to release their attachment to the egoic identity and the material world. They start to awaken to the inner dimensions of reality and the interconnectedness of all things. The process involves understanding spiritual principles, such as karma, reincarnation, and universal laws, which help in the expansion of consciousness.

Fourth-Dimensional to Fifth-Dimensional ConsciousnessThe shift from fourth-dimensional consciousness (4D) to fifth-dimensional consciousness (5D) represents a significant leap in one's spiritual evolution. Fourth-dimensional consciousness is often associated with higher states of intuition, empathy, and interconnectedness. It is a realm of expanded consciousness, where time and space are perceived differently.

This transition mirrors the later stages of initiation, particularly the stages of Transfiguration (Non-Returner) and Crucifixion (Arahant). As one progresses from fourth-dimensional to fifth-dimensional consciousness, they release attachments and desires related to the material world, just as initiates on the occult path face their own inner darkness and confront their deepest fears in the Crucifixion stage. The process involves a deep understanding of unity and a profound connection to higher aspects of the self, which is akin to the union between the personality and the higher ego in initiation.

Fifth-Dimensional Consciousness and BeyondIn both the initiation model and the New Age perspective, the attainment of fifth-dimensional consciousness represents a state of profound wisdom, unity, and service. It is the realization of oneness with the universe and a deep connection to the higher self. In the New Age teachings, individuals attaining fifth-dimensional consciousness (5D) are beings of higher service, similar to Masters of Wisdom in the initiation path.

It's important to note that the fifth-dimensional consciousness, in both models, is not the final destination. It opens the door to a journey of continued spiritual growth and service. The idea of serving humanity and aiding in its evolution is a common thread in both systems, emphasizing the importance of using one's expanded consciousness for the greater good.
