Initiation

There are many initiations through which one moves in their natural growth patterns, including those universal initiations of birth, puberty, marriage, child-rearing, old age, etc.

Ra speaks of initiation as a process and a means whereby the mind/body/spirit complex becomes a purified or initiated channel for the Law of One. The mind, the body, and the spirit may individually or collectively move through an initiation. Such an initiated person may then channel the love/light of the One Infinite Creator through the gateway in order to be of service, whether that service be radiance of being, the magical work of indigo ray, the communication of blue ray, or the healing of green ray.

Though there are big initiations which produce, as Ra describes it, resurrection, a person is likely to move through multiple initiations during the course of their incarnation. Each initiation may be characterized generally by stating that a threshold is crossed that delineates the former experience from the new. This may transpire in a moment or over a long period of time. There is often a challenge or difficulty associated with the crossing of the threshold, and some measure of will and faith needed. For some this may manifest as a dark night of the soul.

Through initiation, a deeper recognition of the self is gained, lessons are learned and/or tested, and those distortions which are no longer needed fall away.

Ra: However, you are aware of the concept of initiation and realize that it demands the centering of the being upon the seeking of the Creator. We have hoped to balance this understanding by enunciating the Law of One, that is, that all things are One Creator. Thus seeking the Creator is done not just in meditation and the work of an adept but in the experiential nexus of each moment.
The initiation of [the] Queen’s Chamber has to do with the abandoning of self to such desire to know the Creator in full that the purified instreaming light is drawn in balanced fashion through all energy centers, meeting in indigo and opening the gate to intelligent infinity. Thus the entity experiences true life or, as your people call it, resurrection. – 57.24
