Q. I quote the following from your book, The New Call: "All who would be prepared to pass through the Portal of Initiation and into the New World are now being called to awaken." Please explain what is meant by initiation in this context. I am not unfamiliar with initiation both in theoretical and practical terms, as the system of healing I practise and teach involves initiations, and my research indicates that every mystic tradition, including Christianity, employs initiations even today. Many of these, of course, have become empty ceremonies, but they still exist. I am interested in what form of initiation you employ and what the context is in relationship to awakening/enlightenment.
A. The
Initiation of which we speak is the Final Liberation from the field of
death in the emergency order. All lesser initiations are hopeful
thinking and often egotistic in nature.
From The New Call:
And such blind faith can with danger be fraught,
For religion and truth are far, far apart,
Thus the Aquarian age gives all a fresh start.
A new presentation for all who on Earth stroll,
Which seeks to draw out a response from the soul,
Of any true heart under the sun,
No matter what in past they may have done.
And thus in this prophesied 'time of the end',
Is given one more chance for our ways to amend;
Great opportunity to come in from the cold,
The Final Liberation that was promised of old.
Q. Specifically, are your initiations bestowed by way of a ceremony that is performed by one (or more) upon another? If so, who performs this initiation? Under what circumstances? How does one approach said initiation? How does one qualify for initiation?
A. Love is the Hierophant; Love is the ceremony; Love is performed by one to another; Love constitutes the circumstances for initiation; Love is the way of approach; Love is the qualification for initiation.
From Servers of the Divine Plan:
Speaking of the 'New Church' of the Aquarian age, the following prophetic vision for our time was left by the Cathars, the last known of whom were burned alive by the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church at Montsegur, Languedoc, France in 1244 AD:
It has no membership, save those who know they belong.
It has no rivals, because it is non-competitive.
It has no ambition, it seeks only to serve.
It knows no boundaries, for nationalisms are unloving.
It is not of itself, because it seeks to enrich all groups and religions.
It has no secret, no arcanum, no initiation save that of true understanding of the power of love
and that, if we want it to be so, the world will change, but only if we change ourselves first.
It acknowledges all great teachers of all ages who have shown the truth of love.
Its participants will practise the truth of love in all their being.
It seeks not to teach but to be, and in being, to enrich.
It recognises the whole planet as a Being of which we are all a part.
It recognises that the time has come for the supreme transmutation, the ultimate alchemical act of conscious change of the world ego into a voluntary return to the Whole.
It does not proclaim itself with a loud voice, but in the subtle realms of loving.
It salutes all those in the past who have blazed the path and have paid the price.
Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being, and by their eyes, and by no other outward sign save the fraternal embrace.
Its members will dedicate their lives to the silent loving of their neighbour and environment and the planet, while carrying out their task, however exalted or humble.
It recognises the supremacy of the Great Idea which may only be accomplished if the human race practises love.
It has no reward to offer either here or in the hereafter save that of the ineffable joy of being and loving.
Its members shall seek to advance the cause of understanding, doing good by stealth, and teaching only by example.
Its members shall heal their neighbours, their community and our planet.
Its members shall know no fear and feel no shame, and their knowledge shall prevail over all odds.
All those who belong, belong to the church of Love.
Q. What I am learning now (or better, remembering now) is somewhat like the seventh (and final) level of initiation. I got to six last time around, and we are bound and determined to go for Home this time around.
A. As long as you are thinking in terms of your own self you can be assured that the only initiation you will receive is a firmer binding to the wheel of duality in the fallen universe. It is prudent not to underestimate the power and cunning of the opposing forces on Earth today. If we have just one of our microcosmic lights attuned to the universe of death (humanity has most of them attuned to duality), then the master of self can strike in the most surreptitious way and at a time when we are most vulnerable. Without group solidarity - which necessarily presupposes an unconditional consecration to serve the Divine Plan - then we are sure to flounder in these end times.
Q. Does your group have an 'inner teaching' which is conveyed to the initiated?
A. The New
Call is the outermost
teaching. Servers of the Divine Plan is a little more esoteric,
for the more advanced souls. The
Pure Gnosis is closest to the inner
teaching, but the innermost Teaching itself can never be written down,
for it is contained within a divine radiatory-field. The
Christ-Vibration itself presents everything that the candidate for
Liberation requires - if he can receive it. If he is unable to receive,
then not even a million volumes of high esoterica will avail him of any
real benefit. For only Life can give Life.
Q. I have been reading The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ. It is very powerful and resonates deeply within me. In several places Levi speaks of Jesus receiving inner teachings and giving these to the disciples. Do you have access to those teachings and are you prepared to share them?
A. Inner teachings in writing, in the form of the Gnosis, together with the actual Living Transmission of the Gnosis (which may be received only in proportion to one's yearning and therefore readiness to receive): this is what 'The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ' is referring to. The conceptual inner teaching is also referred to in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas when Jesus states: "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds he will become troubled, and when he becomes troubled he will be astonished".
Anything higher than that which has been given in our writings would only serve to contribute toward mental constipation. Since more cosmic revelations may only be digested and put to use by an exalted consciousness, they would not be appropriate or helpful to humanity. I hasten to add that some people in the new age movement are today attempting to digest channelled information which is way above their head and so quite useless practically. Such unnecessary information, even if true, often results in pride and unintegrated concepts, plus the corresponding kind of occult contact (and/or possession) by entities in the astral world who are also overreaching themselves intellectually.
Prior to transfiguration, there really is nothing more to say and no new keys to bestow upon the aspirant.
Of course, the innermost 'Teaching' - or Body of Wisdom - is gained by purifying and raising the consciousness so that one makes contact with the Living Sphere of Divine Consciousness.
Q. Yes I do feel I have the information required, yet at the same time I feel that there is so much more to know...
A. There is ever more to discover upon our eternal journey in God. That is what makes Life - True Life - so wondrous. Before greater Revelation is bestowed we must simply act on the spiritual guidance already given.
