Initiation, Human and Solar - Chapter VII - The Probationary Path





Methods of TeachingThree departments of
instruction watch over three parts of man's development.
First: Instruction is given tending to the disciplining of the life, the growth of
character, the development of the microcosm along cosmic lines. The man is taught the
meaning of himself; he comes to know himself as a complex, complete unit, a replica in
miniature of the outer world. In learning the laws of his own being, comes comprehension
of the Self, and a realization of the basic laws of the system.
Secondly: Instruction is given as to the macrocosm, the amplification of his
intellectual grip of the working of the cosmos. Information as to the kingdoms of nature,
teaching as to the laws of those kingdoms, and instruction as to the working of those laws
in all kingdoms and [66] on all planes is given him. He acquires a deep fund of general
knowledge, and when he reaches his own periphery he is met by those who lead him on to
encyclopedic knowledge. When he has attained the goal, he may not know every single thing
that there is to be known in all the three worlds, but the way to know, the sources of
knowledge and the reservoirs of information are in his hand. A Master can at any time find
out anything on any possible subject without the slightest difficulty.
Thirdly: Instruction is given in what might be termed synthesis. This
information is only possible as the intuitional vehicle coordinates. It is really the
occult apprehension of the law of gravitation or attraction, (the basic law of this, the
second solar system) with all its corollaries. The disciple learns the meaning of occult
cohesion, and of that internal unity which holds the system as a homogeneous unit. The
major part of this instruction is usually given after the third initiation, but a
beginning is made early in the training.
