| | Natural Initiation -- Everything Happens For A Reason
Video Presentation by Lelan Harris
Disease, parenting, mental illness, marriage, war, pandemics, racism, and other challenging experiences are paths of natural initiation. Many of these are commonplace in our lives.
Rudolf Steiner teaches that initiation "is a matter of the spiritual world; it has to approach us". He goes on to say that the process is a "series of threshold experiences". Steiner further indicates that if human beings don't engage the process consciously, the spiritual world initiates it in our lives unconsciously.
Lelan draws upon the teachings of Rudolf Steiner – including Stages of Christian Initiation, and Earlier Initiation and Esoteric Christianity -- plus Baruch Luke Urieli’s Learning to Experience the Etheric World, as well as his own experiences, to illuminate characteristics of both unconscious and conscious initiation.
This presentation is interspersed with reflection exercises, question and answer times, and “real world” examples helping participants learn how to recognize the spiritual world inviting and activating initiation in every human being.
Developing the capacity to perceive initiation experiences in ourselves and others reaps a continuous stream of “good news” as humanity moves into the years ahead.
