Lastly, the change from one plant to another, from the common to the rare, from the habitual to the exceptional, from the known to the unknown, is made suddenly, without gradual initiations. There is no novitiate, no training by habit in the choice of the materials for the nest.
You'd a-been down there with Turnbull if you hadn't just had more'n your share of illness," added he, with the mariner's slight disapprobation of the landsman who defies initiations of Neptune. "Very possibly," said Loring. "The purser tells me Escalante gave him a little packet belonging to her very valuable, which he ordered kept in the safe until their agent should call for it at 'Frisco."
"I warn you that I do not treat with ambassadors." "My mission is to conduct you to her." "Then I shall see her?" "Face to face." "Let us go, then." "Chevalier, you go quickly to the work; you forget that before all initiations there are certain indispensable ceremonies to secure the discretion of the initiated." "What must I do?"
The lesser Mysteries took place in February, the greater in September. Initiations were connected with the festivals. The symbolical presentation of the cosmic and human drama formed the final act of the initiations of the Mystics, which took place here. The Eleusinian temples had been erected in honour of the goddess Demeter. She was a daughter of Kronos.
After yet another interval, if he proves himself entirely worthy, he may be drawn into a still closer relationship, when he is called the son of the Master. These three stages mark his relationship to his own Master only, not to the Brotherhood as a whole. The Brotherhood admits a man to its ranks only when he has fitted himself to pass the first of the great Initiations.
As we study a small minority of our race, we see that the second aspect of the divine Spirit in man is appearing, and we speak of it in Christendom as the Christ in man. Its evolution lies, as we have seen, beyond the first of the Great Initiations, and Wisdom and Love are the marks of the Initiate, shining out more and more as he develops this aspect of the Spirit.
CIRCUMAMBULATION. The ceremony of perambulating the lodge, or going in procession around the altar, which was universally practised in the ancient initiations and other religious ceremonies, and was always performed so that the persons moving should have the altar on their right hand.
"Well, you can't do it without sacrifices don't believe that for a moment," the Master said. "I've made none. I've had everything. In other words I've missed everything." "You've had the full rich masculine human general life, with all the responsibilities and duties and burdens and sorrows and joys all the domestic and social initiations and complications.
The religious needs which were very imperfectly met by the initiations and ceremonies and prayers of the cults of the pagan saving deities found a complete and perfect satisfaction from faith in an exalted Christ." Christianity could not do this really very great thing without at the same time being affected by that which it, in a measure, took over and completed.
As he passes through all these successive initiations, and breaks out of his sheath, the horizons of life widen around him, and at length he grasps the plan of society with the different human strata of which it is composed. If he begins by admiring the procession of carriages on sunny afternoons in the Champs-Elysees, he soon reaches the further stage of envying their owners.
