The initiations are the progressive stages of revelations and at the beginning are focussed on the surmounting of the obstacles but as the consciousness expands, all becomes as the canvas of creative life, from the cosmic patterns. It is when the electrical energy of which the door of intiations is constituted and that of which the man is constructed at any particular time synchronise and vibrate in unison that the aspirant can pass through to greater light. Understanding of the human being as an electrical unit of power and light, and of his triple mechanism as created of three aspects of electricity, gives comprehension of the significance of initiation. The three fires of which all things are made are electrical in nature and—speaking symbolically—it is only when matter-"fire by friction" is dominated by soul-"solar fire" that the first four initiations can be taken, culminating in the fifth initiation in which these two fires are subordinated to "electric fire" emanating from the monad (essence from the the stars). This monadic process begins at the third initiation. The third initiation (culminating in the Transfiguration) is taken on the three higher levels of the mental plane, and that it is therefore upon the fourth level of the mental plane that the aspirant first of all stands before the door, seeking initiation into the higher Four. That electrical unit or phenomenon of electricity which we call the fourth kingdom in nature, on this fourth subplane of the mental plane esoterically "ejects" the unit of electricity which is ready to be absorbed by the higher form of electricity. Fire by friction dies out and solar fire takes its place, and the relationship between the two higher forms of electricity becomes established. The rays and initiations . A.Bailey.
