In answer to your question about reference to Initiations in the last century – this was mostly theoretical.

There wasn’t a Path of Light and Sound like there is today. They were set out in a very different way to be studied by the scholars of the time.

The Initiations, as you know them, represent a practical Path with Three Initiations, the Third being Enlightenment. This was deemed the best way for Seekers in the last 25 years of the 20th century to pursue their Spiritual Goal.

Although serious Meditators are still drawn to the Path of Light and Sound the vast majority of people today are Experiencing Spontaneous Awakenings.
