Initiation itself is a simple ceremony of welcome and blessing.
Initiation is a sign of a person’s commitment to the path of awakening
and service in his or her life.
in the words of the ceremony,
“to the guidance it offers, to the inclusive lineage of teachings it represents,
and
to the timeless stream of blessing that is its essence.”
Give our own self permission to create a beautiful path
between us and the world,
between our personal sense of sacredness
and
sanctuary;
In sanctuary 'I' Love and Respect myself
and
the world anew.
The greater perfection a soul aspires to,
the more dependent it is upon grace.
In the sacred space and time of Shrine
we are often able to see and feel
our inner and outer worlds
without interference
from judgments, opinions, criticisms, fears, and desires.
Released from these burdens of the ego,
we may also feel the peacefulness
that
is unconditional love,
forgiveness
and
acceptance,
