What are such initiates? Imagine there are people who live in a remote area where there are no railways and no machines. Now one of them sets off for Europe and sees that there are railways and machines. He goes home and recounts his experiences, what he himself has seen. That is someone who is initiated into such things. Such initiates also exist in relation to supersensible things. In secret schools, they are guided to gain insight into the supersensible, invisible world and can tell of what they have experienced there.
