INITIATES
"For your better understanding of how
information can be transmitted to beings
of succeeding generations by means of a
legomonism, I must tell you a little
about those beings whom other beings
there call 'initiates.'
"In former times on the planet Earth, this
word was used in one sense only those three-
brained beings were called 'initiates' who
had acquired in their presences almost
identical objective data, which could
be sensed by other beings.
"But during the last two centuries
this word has come to have two
different meanings.
"According to the first meaning it is
used, as in the past, to designate those
beings who become 'initiates' thanks to
their personal, conscious labor and
intentional suffering, and who thus
acquire in themselves, as I have
already told you, objective merits
that are perceptible to other beings
of any brain-system and that evoke
trust and respect.
"In the other meaning, this word is used
as a title conferred upon one another by
those beings belonging to what are called
'robber gangs,' which have greatly
multiplied there during this period
and whose members have as their
principal aim to 'steal' from
those around them only
'essence-values.'
"Under the pretence of following
'supernatural' or 'occult' sciences,
these 'robber gangs' are really occupied,
and very successfully, with this kind of
'plunder.'
"And so, any and every regular member of
such a gang calls himself an 'initiate.'
"Among these terrestrial 'initiates of new
formation' there are even 'great initiates,'
and these 'great initiates' are those who,
especially at the present time, in the
course of their virtuoso enterprises, go
through 'fire, water, copper pipes, and
even through all the roulette halls of
Monte Carlo.
"Moreover, it was said that all
'supernatural' phenomena—-even
those actually perceptible to
most people—- are also nothing
but results ensuing from this
PARTICULAR LAW OF MECHANICS
[law of cause and effect]."
-- chapter 24
"Watch out for false prophets.
They come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they
are ferocious wolves."
--Matthew 7:15
Yes, and the teaching here
is to watch for the false
prophets that we are ourselves
if we are to develop and understand
a right sense of what is called
"objective pity," that is to
say, to act with mercy
towards all and everyone
who seek understanding,
which are very few. Each
one of us as self-developing
beings must make our own choices
. . . no one can choose for us.
We are obligated to help others
to help themselves make their
own choices, right or wrong . . .
NOT TO CHOOSE FOR THEM!!
