In one hand you get out what you put in. In another sense, if there's no purpose TO the initiation, other than, just an "experience" or formality, it serves no purpose.We are initiated and re-initiated to the world throughout the phases of the day - the way I see it. If we look at every moment as a macrocosmic/microcosmic birth and death sequence, we may realize the importance of everything. (see Crowely's Liber CC)
What he is talking about is that many modern initiation ceremonies are more like a thatrical performance that is simply 'done'to the participant. He describes a more experiential event as being 'organic'. I am guessing he is thinking more extremem type of initiation, one i which teh participant has more involvement and more of a trial maybe. I guess health and safety regulations water down the type of things most organised groups can get away with!
hes not the same but still one of the smartest fellas alive and i will always tip my hat to that fine gentalmen

Organic makes me think entheogens, oneirogens, lucid dreaming and holonic awakening/integration.
