Initiation: The Mystery of Living Service

CD/DVD set – Initiation, the Mystery of Living Service

Presented by Gita Saraydarian

In this series of six lectures, Gita explores the mystery of Initiation and provides practical methods for inner preparation and tips for developing your service potential through effective communication.

Why is it that the Teachers of the Ageless Wisdom always emphasize sacrificial service as part of discipleship? What does initiation have to do with being a disciple?

We sometimes think that Initiation is something bestowed upon us by another person due to our inner spiritual achievements, or due to the study of certain materials. In the mystery of initiation, the key components are the inner development, demonstrated through a life of sacrificial service that determines the level of initiation and the point of real attainment. It is not about “bells and whistles” and outer trappings, but about a deep inner actualization of our True Self.

What is the mystery of initiation?

“The real meaning of the word mystery can be understood if you think about a man and a tree and try to see the causes that brought them into being. Or you can think about the cause of our solar system or galaxy. The mystery is the cause, the organized architectural details which gave birth to the objective Universe…The search for the mystery is accomplished through the fusion between the human and the Divine mind. Each degree of fusion is an expansion of consciousness and a process of initiation.” —Torkom Saraydarian
