This is from the Lords of Light.

You are asking about remote Initiations (N) and rightly too. Things would be so much easier if you could do this as many people writing to the website are living in places far from Initiating Adepts.

We have been looking at this and considering it carefully. At the moment there are people who for some reason or another are not able to travel to receive the Initiation. This will not always be the case. Also, often they know nothing of the Specialness and Wonder of the new Lightwave. This again will change.

For the moment however, We feel it is better that We wait a few more months – as when someone receives the Energy for first Initiation they are (at the moment) not aware of what they are getting and they need a competent Teacher to explain it all to them and iron out any difficulties that may arise. There is no substitute for human contact at this time.
