Group Initiation -Bruce Lyon

02 September 2003 Group Initiation I have said that you are preparing, as a group entity, for the Second Initiation. This is primarily an initiation of ‘decision’ related as it is to the Fourth and Sixth Degree initiations. The First Initiation resulted in the breaking forth of Light Supernal within the conscious heart of the group soul entity. The Second requires that this ‘life’ is consciously ‘chosen’. Discipleship is a conscious process, and that is why I have asked you individually and collectively for your greater commitment and the active participation of your will.

The soul is group conscious and operates primarily on the triadal levels, from where it attempts to solarise and fuse with the personality fields. When speaking of a group initiation I am talking primarily about events taking place on the triadal planes. The ‘First’ Initiation then is the breaking forth of the synthetic Life principle within the ‘mind’ of the group—the causal body is the heart chakra on mental levels, just as the etheric heart chakra is on the second subplane of the etheric. This allows the mind to be held ‘steady in the light’. You are practicing this as a group presently. The Second group Initiation concerns the buddhic plane. There is a simultaneous ‘lifting’ or liberation of the consciousness of the group into the ashram on the buddhic plane. This is accomplished through a united focus on the Purpose of the ashram, represented by the Master on the atmic plane, which opens up for a moment an inflow of energy from the monadic plane—a microcosmic Shamballic Impact that is consciously invoked by the group entity for the purposes of liberating consciousness from the three worlds.
