Recently, I have been going deep into some teachings in the Trans-Himalayan (TH) teachings on what is called “the failure of the moon chain”.

I am the destroyer.

I am the one who brings death to universes, planets, bodies and illusions.

When their cycles have run their course,

My time has come.

This is compilation of teachings from Bruce Lyon, Alice Bailey and Lucille Cedercrans on the third initiation.

A list of the keynotes of the 5 major initiations.

There is no way, not in a million years
that I would change, or run away from
the enormity of the suffering 
that so frequently characterises
this experience of being a human.

I have turned it all over
Emptied my pockets
Pulled out my heart
From the inside
Given up 
Every possible future
And dispelled
All ideas borne 
Out of false hope.

When this energy
Rips through 
My body
All I want to do
Is take everything off
Drop down 
To the floor
Raise my head 
To the sky
And roar.

At a certain point on the “path,” the individual’s capacity becomes such that an irreversible commitment can be made. This commitment is akin to the Bodhisattva vow; it is the anchoring down of a newly-established orientation towards the service of All.

Heart-Fire is unveiled in the midst of irreconcilability - when the mind is presented with something it truly cannot work out.

There comes a time for us all when we see that a deeper step than ‘having a purpose’ is coming to know that we are purpose. 

A transmission on the soul’s willingness to offer itself up as a sacrifice to the One.

All spiritual traditions are custodians of a transmission. Essentially, that transmission embodies an assertion as to the wonder, goodness, and power of Reality. The Trans-Himalayan tradition is no exception.

Recently I read the Mercury passage on “The Keynote of the Modern Day Mystery School” again and came to really lean into the depth of truth involved in the fact that humanity’s working with the monadic Life principle, and the divine Will, Purpose and Power inherent in it, is definitely emergent.

In Ancient Egypt, it appears that after an initiate had passed through the lesser mysteries, as part of the greater mysteries, there was what was described in the Hermetica as their highest initiation, called the Black Rite.

In Alice Bailey and Bruce Lyon’s work, it is described that the Mystery Schools will re-emerge in locations connected to their ancient counterparts, and we will likely see a reconnection to the ancient monuments and temples of initiation that remain today around the world, and the construction of new ones.

In ancient, pre-axial age cultures, from Ancient Egypt to the British Isles to Vedic India and the Himalayas, to South America, Chaldea, Sumeria, Ancient Greece, Babylon and others, there were esoteric traditions of initiation that guided men and women to awaken as souls, then to awaken as the One, and then to embody that on earth.

True Power is a quality of spirit – the indestructible core of our being that is deeper than personality and deeper even than soul.

First the soul realises its freedom from its identifications with the sheaths it is embedded in - mind, emotions and body. This freedom is a process of detachment and dis-identification and it is known as the Path of Discipleship.

Those of us who are called and who have the opportunity to respond on behalf of the whole are on the great adventure of our times and there is tremendous aid available from the synergistic evolutionary currents.

The problem with words is that they both liberate and imprison in what T S Eliot has called the constant ‘raid on the inarticulate’. When we finally ‘name’ something that has been intangible to us we bring it into manifestation – we coalesce an energy being into form.
