The So-Called Dangers of Initiation

Today, however, Spiritual Science cannot be practiced in such a way that it is directed only at a select few. Things must be brought before the general public. No one can be denied the elementary basic concepts, and not even the initial principles of initiation, as indicated in the last lecture, can be denied to anyone today. If today, individuals who have been ruined by contemporary culture approach Theosophy and, as souls that have gone off the rails, are initially thrown even more into disorder by the cleansing storm, should the remedy be withheld from all souls just because a few individuals have been brought to spiritual unhappiness by their wrong way of thinking? This is by no means fanaticism speaking, but rather the experience in the field of spiritual life in our time.
