It becomes clear that human suffering comes to an end when man's relationship with Reality (the Absolute) is restored.

Download or read book Initiation written by Thomas Kirsch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book builds on the vast clinical experience of Joseph L. Henderson, who became interested in initiatory symbolism when he began his analysis with Jung in 1929. Henderson studied this symbolism in patients' dreams, fantasies, and active imagination, and demonstrated the archetype of initiation in both men and women's psychology. After Henderson’s book was republished in 2005 Kirsch, Beane Rutter and Singer brought together this collection of essays to allow a new generation to explore the archetype of initiation. Initiation: The Living Reality of an Archetype demonstrates how the archetype of initiation is seen clinically today. Divided into distinct parts, the book explores the archetype of initiation in Dr Henderson’s own life, as well as suggesting its importance in: clinical practice culture aging and death. The chapters in this book amplify and extend the archetype of initiation from the earliest historical periods up to the present day. The editors argue that initiation symbolism often underlies contemporary phenomena, but is rarely recognized; Initiation helps to bring a new understanding to these experiences. This book will be of interest to psychotherapists with an interest in psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, as well as those training at analytic institutes.
Book Synopsis The Rays and the Initiations by : Alice A. Bailey
Download or read book The Rays and the Initiations written by Alice A. Bailey and published by Lucis Pub. This book was released on 1970-06-01 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final volume in this treatise on the seven rays contains the fundamental spiritual structure on which the next presentation of the Ageless Wisdom teaching will build. The book is in two parts; the first part enumerates and details the Fourteen Rules for Group Initiation. These are the rules for disciples and initiates, paralleling on a higher turn of the spiral, the rules for applicants contained in the book Initiation, Human and Solar. The second part of this volume is concerned with the Rays and the Initiations, those nine major expansions of consciousness through which the initiate becomes progressively liberated from the various forms of our planetary life, ultimately proceeding upon his chosen Path of development and service within the universe. One of the outstanding principles unfolded through the pages of this book is that of the growth of the group idea - group service, group responsibility and group initiation. The possibility of group initiation seems to be one of the new emerging developments of the Aquarian era; therefore, the profound value to the disciple of the Fourteen Rules for Group Initiation. consciousness expands with the acceptance of occult obedience, and the meeting of all requirements on the Path of Initiation in a group penetrating together towards the centre of an ashram, and into the heart and will of the presiding Master. Because the way to the innermost sanctum is the way of outer service, and because initiation is the effect of an increasing capacity to intuit the Plan, to register ashramic purpose and to act accordingly, these rules are in reality great Formulas of Approach ...approach to a specific section of the Path and not approach to the Initiator. I would have you reflect on this distinction. The initiate is becoming increasingly aware of the dynamics of the Science of the Service of the Plan. This distinctive realisation can only come when his fused and blended personality and soul expression of will has disappeared in the blazing light of the Divine Purpose. is invaluable in expanding the mind to contemplate the larger patterns and processes in which the individual function may be viewed in perspective. In dealing with such abstruse matters, the author again demonstrates a marvelous capacity to relate the deepest and most profounds aspects of the Master's teaching to the life and the consciousness of the aspirant in the world today. Since there is no separation in life, and since the aphorism As above so below applies in every particular throughout the cosmos, and recognisably within the solar and the planetary lives, there is great value in the clear delineation of continuity. Revelation concerns Oneness and nothing else. The practical nature of this truth is only recognised when the disciple attempts to do two things: To realise it individually and to bring the nature of planetary unity and of non-separateness to the minds and into the lives of men everywhere. The books of Alice A. Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan teacher between 1919?1 teaching handed down from ancient times in a form which is always suitable to each period. Intended to precede and condition the coming era, the Alice A. Bailey writings offer an unparalleled spiritual approach to such subjects as the teaching on Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the spiritual Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in meditation as a form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and the new psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology; and the new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of truth linking all the major world faiths.

Download or read book The Initiation written by August Greyhawk and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Initiation: A Phoenix Rises is the account of the Initiation of a forty-five year old man into a life of real magick and the real-time interaction with various levels of consciousness and Cosmic dimensional planes of existence. Pete Pepromeno is a young church pastor who was desperately wounded by mean-spirited and conscienceless religionists. His wife and son were also devastated by hurtful experiences in their church. Pete calls his old professor from university days, August Greyhawk, for help, counsel, and answers. During several weeks of intensive practical teaching and transcendental experiences, Professor Greyhawk leads Pete into the esoteric world of neo-shamanism, real magick, higher dimensional planes of existence, practices of the Old Ways, and a brand new world view. Greyhawk initiates Pete into a magickal life with all of the wonderful benefits accompanying a radical change in belief systems. Many of life's most profound questions are addressed with practical answers that are eye-opening to those who are seekers for more than what mundane and hum-drum status quo reality provides. The majestic Appalachian Mountains and the matchless beauty of the coastal Lowcountry of South Carolina are the setting for Pete's Initiation. Reading the book and deeply reflecting on the real-world discussions as well as the mystical experiences might possibly provide the foundation for the reader's own Initiation...only IF the reader is open and desires to live a "magickal life." If the reader has ever wondered about God, the Universe, the Cosmos, prayer, miracles, spirit beings, real magick, real spells, magickal wands and staffs, traveling in other spatial dimensions and temporal planes of existence, the difference between good and bad magick, religion, the real versus fantasy, and much more...then you will not be disappointed by this book. This book will challenge your present belief system, suggest possibilities for enlarging it to include a reality beyond your wildest dreams, and create an unquenchable thirst in you to discover even more than is revealed herein. If you decide to read this book and find that you must have much more, then my other books are a must read for you. They are listed below in the order of the magickal life events of August and Luna Greyhawk and their calling. The Awakening: An Initiation into a Magickal Life The Initiation: A Phoenix Rises The Joining: A Raven Calls The Assignment: Piercing The Darkness And... The Path Along The Hemispheres: Pieces of A Puzzle Only Recently Discovered - a book of philosophical and esoteric poetry and essays As August Greyhawk has said, Higher truth seems magickal and impossible to those whose eyes are blind to all but the mundane and ordinary. The world of non-ordinary reality is the true magick realm waiting to be discovered and experienced by all who have only wished that the fantasy world of books and movies were real. This book lays the necessary foundation for The Joining: A Raven Calls, the next in the series of books about the unbelievable life of August and Luna Greyhawk. The Joining: A Raven Calls recounts the events ushering the Greyhawks into the long-ago predicted and unbelievable phase two of their life purpose. If you have always wanted to know about the hidden life of real magickal people, you will thoroughly enjoy reading The Joining: A Raven Calls. The Assignment: Piercing The Darkness, the last book in the series by August Greyhawk, takes you deep into a world of hidden intrigue, Cosmic mystery, real magick, aliens from other worlds and their amazing technology, and the battle for the upward growth of Earth's humanity. The Awakening: An Initiation into a Magickal Life, the first book, relates the beginning years, the awakening of August Greyhawk, and his trips to the highest levels of the spirit world's astral plane for interactions with the Elders of the Ancients. It reveals The Experiment to raise humanity's consciousness.
Book Synopsis The Way of Initiation by : Rudolf Steiner
Download or read book The Way of Initiation written by Rudolf Steiner and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true mystic is a man who enters into full possession of his inner life, and who, having become cognizant of his sub-consciousness, finds in it, through concentrated meditation and steady discipline, new faculties and enlightenment. These new faculties and this enlightenment instruct him as to the innermost nature of his soul and his relations with that impalpable element which underlies all, with that eternal and supreme reality which religion calls God, and poetry the Divine. The occultist, akin to the mystic, but differing from him as a younger from an elder brother, is a man endowed with intuition and with synthesis, who seeks to penetrate the hidden depths and foundations of Nature by the methods of science and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Rites and Symbols of Initiation: The Mysteries of Birth and Rebirth by : Michael Meade

This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizing data from cultures the world over, Mircea Eliade, one ofthe preeminent interpreters of world religion in the twentieth century, lays out the basic patterns of initiation: group puberty rites, entranceinto secret cults, shamanic instruction, individual visions, and heroicrites of passage. The vast information assembled here transcendsusual scholarship. Eliade always affirms the greater experience in allinitiation - the indissoluble tie between humans and the cosmos ofgods, spirits, animals, ancestors, and nature.As Michael Meade writes in his foreword, Eliade "fervently workedat keeping the doors of perception open to the world of sacred symbolsand creative ritual. Through his insistence that we are each thenecessary inheritors of a vast sacred heritage, he has acted as a spiritualelder and distant mentor to me and many students of myth andritual. Like an archeologist of symbols, he has unearthed, preserved, and found new meanings in the rites of our ancestors."
Download or read book Initiated written by Amanda Yates Garcia and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes meets Women Who Run With The Wolves in this "gorgeously written, fierce, political, personal, and deeply inspiring" (Michelle Tea) memoir about finding meaning, beauty, and power through a life in witchcraft. An initiation signals a beginning: a door opens and you step through. Traditional Wiccan initiates are usually brought into the craft through a ceremony with a High Priestess. But even though Amanda Yates Garcia's mother, a practicing witch herself, initiated her into the earth-centered practice of witchcraft when she was 13 years old, Amanda's real life as a witch only began when she underwent a series of spontaneous initiations of her own. Descending into the underworlds of poverty, sex work, and misogyny, Initiated describes Amanda's journey to return to her body, harness her power, and create the magical world she longed for through witchcraft. Hailed by crows, seduced by magicians, and haunted by ancestors broken beneath the wheels of patriarchy, Amanda's quest for self-discovery and empowerment is a deep exploration of a modern witch's trials - healing ancient wounds, chafing against cultural expectations, creating intimacy - all while on a mission to re-enchant the world. Peppered with mythology, tales of the goddesses and magical women throughout history, Initiated stands squarely at the intersection of witchcraft and feminism. With generosity and heart, this book speaks to the question: is it possible to live a life of beauty and integrity in a world that feels like it's dying? Declaring oneself a witch and practicing magic has everything to do with claiming authority and power for oneself, of taking back our planet in the name of Love. Initiated is both memoir and manifesto calling the magical people of the world to take up their wands: stand up, be brave, describe the world they want, then create it like a witch.

Book Synopsis Rituals of Initiation and Consecration in Premodern Japan by : Fabio Rambelli
Download or read book Rituals of Initiation and Consecration in Premodern Japan written by Fabio Rambelli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In premodern Japan, legitimization of power and knowledge in various contexts was sanctioned by consecration rituals (kanjō) of Buddhist origin. This is the first book to address in a comprehensive way the multiple forms and aspects of these rituals also in relation to other Asian contexts. The multidisciplinary chapters in the book address the origins of these rituals in ancient Persia and India and their developments in China and Tibet, before discussing in depth their transformations in medieval Japan. In particular, kanjō rituals are examined from various perspectives: imperial ceremonies, Buddhist monastic rituals, vernacular religious forms (Shugendō mountain cults, Shinto lineages), rituals of bodily transformation involving sexual practice, and the performing arts: a history of these developments, descriptions of actual rituals, and reference to religious and intellectual arguments based on under-examined primary sources. No other book presents so many cases of kanjō in such depth and breadth. This book is relevant to readers interested in Buddhist studies, Japanese religions, the history of Japanese culture, and in the intersections between religious doctrines, rituals, legitimization, and performance.
Book Synopsis Initiation, Human and Solar by : Alice A. Bailey
Download or read book Initiation, Human and Solar written by Alice A. Bailey and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of initiation appears in various relationships throughout this series of books. An initiation is an expansion of consciousness - a means of opening the mind and heart to a recognition of what already exists in reality. It is, therefore, a result of the ability to transcend those glamours and illusions which veil the truth and limit the consciousness. As a living process, initiation is experienced by all forms of life, large and small, from the universal to the particular. The process of initiation in our solar system is based on a pattern which is duplicated and reflected within the whole, and throughout all its many parts. It could be called the thread of living energy, accepted and woven into the whole tapestry by each unit of consciousness in the creation of an ultimate synthesis. The Path of Initiation, therefore, is the Path of the Antahkarana. process in an effort to perceive and to understand how the diverse and distinctive forms of life included in a whole organism perform a vital individual function which, in relationship with all other parts, contribute to the all-encompassing plan of evolution. Even this effort to stretch the mind beyond its normal limits towards comprehension of planetary purpose, plan and process, evokes a more inclusive awareness of relationships within the whole, and forces growth. A mind so stretched never quite returns to its original dimensions. One of the great values of this book is that it does stretch the mind towards a new conception of the intense activity involved at all levels of consciousness on the planet to create conditions in which evolutionary growth can proceed. The work of the planetary Hierarchy, and of some of the responsible workers within the Hierarchy, is outlined in a way which brings everyday human life into focus as an outer expression of qualified purpose through the Ashrams of the Masters. cosmic energy flow, each one imbued with purpose and responsible for an aspect of the Plan of God. The inter-relationship and interaction of the many kingdoms and centres of consciousness are revealed as tending towards the complete integration and alignment of our Planetary Logos within the systemic whole. The detailed procedures of initiation rituals revealed here stimulate the imagination; but essentially the individual aspirant treading the Path of Discipleship is thrown back on his own inner spiritual resources as the only means by which progress can be made and consciousness expanded. This he does to the extent that he becomes sensitive and responsive to energy wielded and projected by Hierarchy. A disciple is one who serves - eventually one who serves the One. So the vast, dazzling and glorious process of evolution and initiation opens out in the depths and in the silence of the soul, and the disciple learns to relinquish all self- seeking - even for personal spiritual experience - and becomes absorbed with others in the service of the Plan.
Book Synopsis Enochian Initiation by : Frater W.I.T.
Download or read book Enochian Initiation written by Frater W.I.T. and published by Frater W.I.T.. This book was released on 2006-06-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience a new reality through wondrous visions of the Enochian angels Enochian magick, a system of angelic evocation, is one of the oldest forms of ceremonial magick in the Western world, and perhaps the single most powerful magical system in all occultism. It was developed by the Elizabethan magician Dr. John Dee who, with the assistance of his seer, Edward Kelly, channeled an angelic language and alphabet that is remarkably effective in opening up the mind to currents of intelligence far beyond the human norm. Whether you are a beginner on your path of study or already an advanced magician, there is something for you in Enochian Initiation. Author Frater W.I.T. shares his own experiences and deeply personal visions, expanding upon and broadening the path toward understanding forged by John Dee, Aleister Crowley, and other great magicians who have come before. By bringing this practice into the modern era, Frater W.I.T. shows how human consciousness can be expanded and examined more closely than with simple meditation, psychoanalysis, or even mind-altering drugs. For those of you who might have hesitated to study Enochian magick because you do not share the same beliefs or convictions of the deeply religious Elizabethans, rest assured that it is possible to achieve the same wondrous results within a neutral spiritual context. Frater W.I.T. has developed a nonreligious spirituality in his conjurations while still using Hebrew and Enochian divine names. Through this book, you too will learn how to develop new techniques and ideas to shape your own magical style and method. An initiate of both the Masonic and Rosicrucian schools of mystery, Frater W.I.T. has spent more than twenty years studying western occult traditions. The purpose of his life's work is to develop new methods of ceremonial magick and explore new vistas of psychic and spiritual potential.
