The destiny of those who walk the spiritual path is to eventually achieve Initiate Consciousness, a state of awareness that arises when the soul and personality have been fused as one, opening the door to a new phase of spiritual development. For most of us, the path has been to inwardly sense the soul, and to transform the personality so that it increasingly yields to the soul’s guidance. It is a phase of evolution that occurs within the World of Becoming, for the personality is learning to “become” a fully responsive vessel through which the soul can express its love and wisdom. Yet for an Initiate, that developmental phase has been left behind, and the World of Being is now the realm wherein continued evolution ensues.
When passage into the World of Being occurs, an entirely different field of awareness crests upon the shores of one’s consciousness. A new dimension, direction, and life focus is awakened, and synthetic awareness becomes the matrix of consciousness to the newly birthed Initiate. Though not yet an indication of enlightenment, it signifies that one has crossed the threshold into the antechamber to enlightenment. It is a lofty transitional point that each of us will eventually cross, in this incarnation or another.
In this four-part course, we will delve deeply into the life and consciousness of the Initiate. Various clues to recognizing the World of Being will be highlighted, as well as the perceptual changes that predictably arise as one experiences Initiate awareness.
Topics which will be covered include:
- The development of Continuity of Consciousness
- Awakening to the Field of Universality and the Eternal Now
- The cultivation of Divine Indifference and Impersonality
- Methods that support the transition into Initiate life
- The flowering of the Christ within
