Initiation or Consecration
Those who doubt the existence of higher worlds are on the same level of judgment as those who are born blind and say: There is no world of light and colors because I cannot see it. No one can make a real judgment about possibility. But those who know can decide about reality. It is not those who know nothing about a thing who should decide about it, but only those who know something about it. Thus, in fact, only the principle of experience, of living through something, can decide about what is called initiation.
