An adept of the fifth initiation is one who has achieved complete harmony through right knowledge. This takes place at the fourth initiation and is demonstrated or proven at the fifth. A close study of the tabulations of the rays affecting humanity will have made it clear that they are so many and so diverse that the complexity of the subject is very great. There are numerous influences which tend to make man what he is, and of many of them little is as yet known. But as mankind evolves, and as the form aspect becomes increasingly a better and finer response apparatus and a more plastic sensitive reflector of the inner man, definition and analysis become easier.
Types emerge with greater clarity in their delineations, and the ray qualities begin to dominate.
The impress of the controlling rays can be more clearly noted and the point in evolution can be more accurately realized. We have now to consider the rays which dominate the races of mankind. This knowledge must necessarily remain hypothetical for several life periods, where the average student is concerned. By the proving therefore of the human detail, we lay the ground for the acceptance of the cosmic, solar and planetary knowledge. What is proven true on the small scale opens the door for the understanding of that which exists on a larger scale.
