ESOTERIC INITIATION
By the Esoteric Initiation, the searcher
learns how those who were able to penetrate the impenetrable sanctuaries, the Esoteric
Mysteries, were initiated.
All the very ancient initiations were based on the initiated’s
physical preparation. The initiate hierophant performed literally the esoteric procedyre
that the initiated received in order to be able to get united with his soul and then, to
approach gradually his spirit area. The system of the initiation was established in all
the archaic mysteries.
The soul should help, by its functions, the elevation of the
conscience. The lower ego shoulc be dazzled and let another organ to replace the lower and
known one of the daily life - comprehension. The whole procedure lasted for enough hours
and predetermined days. The initiations or the mysteries that gave the keys of the deeply
hidden truth lasted for seven or for nine days.
Despite all these rituals, the cllimate that prevailed was of another
different situation than the climate of the daily life. The same words had a particular
meaning and a deeper sense for the initiated. For the first time, they heard that beyond
the visible side of the world, there is another world, richer and higher than ours. There
was a curious atmosphere the acceptance of which ascended the initiated mortal to the
eternity cllass.
So, the mortal being was changed into an immortal God. The faith and
the certainty that accompanied the initiated, were so great that, after the end of the
initiation, the initiated felt deeply inside him the unknown alteration. Yes, he believed,
he felt and he lived as an immortal God. He knew the mystery of death from the other side,
that frees the humansoul to leave from the prisons of the physical life. For this reason,
they glorified death as much as possible, because it elevated the mortal to the position
of the immortal.
Finally, the Esoteric Initiation is the revelation of the creative
qualities of the Life Substance or of the Spiritual ground. It is the analysis of the
causes of all the facts that compose the worlds and hospitalize the beings and certainly,
the grandiose entrance in every soul forbidden abodes of the Eternal Light.
Also you, my friend reader, can come near the sanctuary and taste, if
you certainly need it deeply, the honey-nectar of the Esoteric Initiation where the
Esoteric Key that Master Nikolaos A. Marioris has created and that contains Specialized
Branches of Studies in the Esoterism by correspondence courses, in the analogous
theoretical and practical formation.
