***Why is the Fourth Initiation Esoterically called the Crucifixion?
Written by Dr Joshua David Stone and Gloria Excelsias
The fourth initiation is esoterically called the crucifixion because it is at this initiation that one is crucified in the sense of outer supports being stripped away. All that is left then to hold on to is one’s inner relationship to self, God and the Masters.
So this initiation has to do with letting go and practicing sacrifice. It has to do with learning that what might be perceived as loss is really only the lower self holding onto things that the Higher Self recognizes the initiate does not really want or need. So, in reality, nothing is lost but instead something incredible is gained! What is perceived as loss is nothing but lower-self desire, but what is won is desire for the Higher Self and God. It is not possible to take one’s ascension and become an Integrated Ascended Master without having a true desire and longing for God!
The Integrated Ascended Master wants God like a drowning man wants air! He lives in this world and is involved within it, but his mind is attached to God!
One last thought: At this initiation the initiate merges with the Soul, and so the Soul body is no longer needed as an intermediary between inca
ated Soul and Monad and burns up, so to speak. The initiate becomes the Oversoul or Higher Self, or an extension of the Monad. And so, as a logic consequence, the initiate also “loses” the Higher Self as its teacher, since the Higher Self has now fully merged with the initiate, and gains a new teacher, namely the Monad or Mighty I AM Presence.
