This initiation of consciousness can take the personality to a place of submission to the Soul purpose. Duality and the clash of opposites transforms to Soul dominance for the first time in millions of incarnations into matter. This natural process is known in Esotericism as the process of initiation and has nothing to do with Freemasonry or devil worship, even though they may use the same terminology. The re-learning of LOVE is a priority in all experiences, ourselves and ourselves who appear separate but are not, in truth. Service to friends and family, service to our local community, our nation, our planet and higher, at the appropriate moment.

An occult truism that must be learned, so please ponder this. In truth they are not, but the variety is useful in re-discovering essential commonality. We as souls choose the experience before the life expression and decide the lessons to be learned and the karmic conditions that need resolving, under the Law of Return. Due to the dominance of lower vehicle expressions in many, the illusion is often left intact and maintained by the collective consciousness of the majority. Religion and dogma can actually hinder spiritual progress rather than aid it.
