Initiation
- a Meditation
on 'the three Mountain Tops'
A Mountain
Top is based upon the geometrical shape of a triangle. It has a base
and a top. The triangle represents the coming together of three different
aspects into a perfected and integrated shape or whole. The triangle
suggests the attainment of perfected or right relations between the
constituent parts. It can be noted that the actual shape of the constellation
of Capricorn-the sign of Initiation-is in the shape of a triangle.
The point or top of the triangle symbolize synthesis and power and
holds vision and perspective, and the ability to see the whole.
The
first peak or Mountain Top
The
experience of the first peak: Here is presented the fact of God.
The
place of refuge/overriding/tuning out: Knowing that there is something
more. It is like getting an extra room in ones house. An empty room,
though it gives a distinct sensation that there is this extra space
outside of normal activities and mundane living. This is a place of
refuge for you.
Contribution:
A general but definite and steady beneficent influence. However, there
is also great orthodoxy and traditionalism related to it. This is
so to the extent of even a cowardly behaviour, because you don't really
take a step away from the mainstream, though you realize that there
is something more than that. There is attained a sense of what 'Isolated
Unity' truly means. You are to some extent able to isolate or insulate
yourself from the mass, yet retain a sense of unity at the same time.
Becoming intent and focussed.
The
second peak or Mountain Top
The
experience of the second peak: We know that it has to do with
the expression of the Divine Plan. There is the experience of some
kind of Divine Order and Beauty in Creation, being somehow thought
out or generated by the Mind of God. Falling in Love with God's Creation.
The
place of refuge/overriding/tuning out: Your heart is wide open.
You are being submerged in the Waters of Inspiration. These are the
flowing and sustaining Waters of Life. This experience or inner knowingness
tunes out everything else as you yhereby are 'in the flow', as it
were.
Contribution:
You are a very effective worker and you are a significant contributor,
all the while you are an intelligent interpreter of the Vision. There
is attained a sense of what 'Inclusive Reason' truly means.
The third peak or Mountain Top
The
experience of the third peak: It is Light coming down from above-supernal
light-enveloping you, loosing you, magnetising you. While standing
in that light, there is something that begins to attract and begins
to draw upon your heart. It is like the two magnetic poles begin to
draw each other nearer and closer, and you feel it first of all in
the heart. Then it spreads to the rest of your system and to the rest
of the body. It becomes so magnetically attractive that it becomes
unbearable in the end. You are in a total grip of this magnetically
attractive power.
We then
penetrate the Sun on the mountaintop. This Sun accompanies the experience,
setting the stage and acting in the background. We penetrate it, only
to find another and higher Sun (Sirius). Eventually there is the experience
of some kind of an explosion or release because you cannot take anymore.
The crown bursts and great joy and bliss follows upon this earlier
stage of tension. Thus it is that we do not or cannot hold anything
back, but pour out all the causal contents of our being. It is eventually
this pouring out that will enable us to be lifted higher even than
the mountain top, resulting as it does in a change of polarity with
respect to an even higher aspect which consequently generates the
attracting powers.
In this
experience there is also the sense of being 'face to face' with something.
Is it God or some Godly being? Anyway there is a very personal recognition.
The face is emerging out of the light that is enveloping you, and
becoming very clear, resulting in a very 'intimate' contact. After
the experience of the joy and the bliss, there is the experience of
being lifted up, lifted up from the mountaintop and being replaced
on the top. You are being lifted up somewhere and replaced upon the
mountaintop. This sounds strange indeed, but it suggests that something
of you will forever stay in Heaven after this. You will somehow be
forever anchored in heaven after this, and nothing can remove you
there from. That part which is anchored, seem to be quite useless
in practice and service anyway, as that is not its purpose within
your spiritual constitution. Instead it is being replaced by that
aspect within you which has for its purpose to serve effectively according
to a higher Purpose which is originating where the other aspect now
is safely anchored. We have the experience of having gone through
the joy, the bliss, the 'uselessness' and having been replaced by
something else, yet the replacement is you, pouring forth the assuaging
Waters on a world in need.
The
place of refuge/overriding/tuning out: Someone living in creative
response to the rhythmic life pulsations. So there is something about
the rhythms of the life aspect and its deep pulsations that you are
somehow attuned to. These are something far deeper than inspiration,
which simply pulsates through you or finds creative response in you,
because you are attuned to that. Thus is everything tuned out or overridden,
because you are so much into that deep pulsation and everything else
becomes secondary.
Contribution:
The contribution somehow is to deliver the jewel. The jewel that has
been mined in the deep quarries of experience, cut by your own hands
according to the archetypal pattern or fixed design that you may have
contacted. This jewel is in the nature of a completely original and
revealing cornerstone that is being presented. It is the qualitative
synthesis brought forth. In its wholeness it is being characteristic
of the harvest of thousands of lives. This therefore relates more
to 'presented attributes'.

If I be lifted up, will draw all men towards me" |
