Initiations, ancient - don’t seek to revive them

04/12/2010

Over thousands of years, any number of civilizations and religions have disappeared. If they were unable to stand the test of time, it is because the values they bore were inadequate for the creation of new life: they had become crystallized and fossilized, and spirit came to sweep away those ancient obsolete forms. So, don't pay attention to what is in ruin; don't go searching for rubble in the belief that it can provide you with inspiration for your inner life. Many spiritual seekers would like to go back to ancient initiations and revive them. This is a mistake. You shouldn't reawaken past mysteries, for even from a spiritual point of view there is a danger in wanting to bring back to life what is already dead. Rather than being preoccupied with the past, reach out to the future, for your future is the present for the higher beings who watch over you. And so, by being receptive to what these beings can give you, you speed up your evolution.
