This true significance lies still behind the curtain of that which veils the ultimate truth. The great secrets of Sanat Kumara are there to be found in due time, and the truth anent initiation is one of them. It became possible for the Hierarchy itself to regard the necessity for reorientation and the imminence of the revelation of the first secret - the secret of initiation. Note well what I say here. This presented the Hierarchy with another problem.
Revelation brings responsibility, and oftentimes danger.
Men, as individuals, can grasp certain of these truths of initiation and use them for themselves with impunity, but their revelation to the unready might involve serious risks. Every initiation to which disciples are admitted permits this closer occult sharing in the hierarchical life. This involves, for advanced humanity, a noticeable increase in vitality and in vital tension and potency. Its reflection among the masses is shewn in the constant demand for speed and in the enormous speeding up of the life of mankind in every department of living. This speeding up synchronizes with the increasing readiness of disciples everywhere for initiation - according to their status and developed ability.
