Initiations - Walking the Spiritual Path

There are a total of seven major initiations that all human beings experience on their journeys toward wholeness. Initiations can be referred to as “life tests” or “spiritual tests” that are placed in our path for our soul’s growth. These tests do not occur only once, but instead recycle around and around, bringing us to higher levels of awareness. We are always going through initiations, whether we are conscious of it or not. However, becoming conscious of these tests offers a quantum leap forward on our evolutionary journey. By progressing through these levels, we work ourselves toward higher consciousness which allows us to co-create our experiences that can lead to direct personal experiences that are found within the Bible.

Human who is unaware of his or her connection to own soul - has not stepped on the initiation path yet - still living entirely from 5 senses separate from God

Spiritual Aspirant - Path of probation

Disciple - the 1st and the 2nd initiation

Initiate - the 3rd initiation

Arhat - the 4th initiation

Adept - the 5th initiation

Ascended master - 6th initiation

Initiations are paths on how you get closer to God, how you grow your person and how to raise consciousness permanently.

They are the spiritual paths that lead you to wholeness with God.

When you pass the sixth initiation, there is no turning back. You cannot fall because you are perfect and are not able to do conscious mistakes. 

In the physical world, the first seven initiations are most important compared to the additional initiations worked on later in the spiritual realm.

 Your concentration should be on these seven.

The first four initiations are sometimes worked on individually or at the same time as the other ones and the sequence is not important as it depends on each individual's path.

 You must pass the first four in order to go forward with the 5th initiation.

You get more and more truthful information and understanding during and after every initiation.

The understanding you get is not just related to initiations but also about the understanding of your abilities and how to use your higher bodies and chakras for further growth.

Usually, when someone passes an initiation they are informed with inner guidance and their consciousness level expands.
