WALKS, SIXSymbolic of strides of progress on the lower planes between six initiations on plane after plane "On this first walk I ask from thee O Homa who expellest death the best life (paradise) of the righteous the splendid the all-radiant with its own brilliancy" - Homa Yasht The first walk is the first initiation. The aspiration of the ego is for life which shall endure and contribute to the permanent advancement of the soul-state. This initiation occurs upon the astral plane and is due to the attainment of perfect adjustment of the functioning upon the plane immediately above i.e. the mental which admits of the vibrations being steadied so that they transmit themselves downward again to the lower vehicle "On this second walk I ask from thee O Homa who expellest death the health of this body" The second initiation corresponds to complete mastery by the ego of the astral vehicle with its instincts desires and passions so that the soul is no longer disordered by strife "On this third walk I ask from thee O Homa who expellest death the long life of the soul" The third initiation is that which is to contribute understanding of the true function of the mental body. The "long life of the soul" is the prolongation of the life on the mental plane. It is the extension of the devachanic period the period between two incarnations "On this fourth walk I ask from thee O Homa who expellest death that I may stand forth at will powerful and successful upon the earth putting down troubles and annihilating the destructive powers" The fourth initiation is a comprehension of the mysteries attending the perfect controlling of the activities of the physical plane which implies intellectual command of the will from the causal sheath downwards. This initiation is possible only after great advancement as the acquirement of conscious power over the physical plane is incapable of being wielded by any but a highly evolved adept with complete knowledge of the relation of subjective thought to the form-life of physical nature "On this fifth walk I ask from thee O Homa who expelled death that I may stand forth as victor and conqueror in battle upon the earth putting down troubles and annihilating the destructive powers" The fifth initiation is that increase of faculty which comes from the buddhic awakenment and this gives victory over lower conditions through the exercise of wisdom. The critical intellect is exchanged for the higher buddhic faculty "On the sixth walk I ask from thee O Homa who expellest death that we may first become aware of a thief murmurderer or wolf may no one else become aware of him sooner may we become aware of everything first" The sixth initiation corresponds to the introspective character begotten of right contemplation which detects every lurking desire or lower quality in its first attachment to the soul so that no future personality be needed to draw it forth. This initiation is a sign of true self-government in that the Self triumphs as it realises the true source of its power and learns to fulfil itself. This initiation is from the atmic plane |
