Second Initiation
The main lesson of the second has to do with mastery of the astral and/or emotional body.
This initiation has to do with sacrifice and death of desire.
The lower nature is rapidly being controlled.
The astral elemental is controlled and the emotional body becomes pure, limpid and serene.
Three keynotes for the second initiation are dedication, glamor and devotion.
Dedication results in glamor, which is dissipated by devotion.
The emotions are brought under control and necessarily the factor of the mind assumes an increasing importance.
Freedom is the keynote of the individual who is facing the second initiation.
Much greater control of the selfish sensitivity of the lower self is attained.
