Beyond the general features provided in this essay, the specifics of initiation cannot be designated because it must be carried out by a Perennialist teacher working with a fully-prepared initiate. As will be seen from the outline below, the initiation phenomenon is very different from what most people assume it to be.

Objective: relaxing the bond by which the spirit is held down by the body

• To allow the spirit to reunite with the Higher Consciousness
• To release the spirit from the spell under which it is held in bondage in the body
• To bring the body and the mind to quiescence
• To free the Higher Consciousness from the enthrallment of the ego consciousness
• To reunite the spirit with its lost universality
• To separate the higher subtle feelings from the gross sense feelings
• To free the spirit from any misconceptions
• To allow the spirit to travel to higher realms and commune with Higher Beings

To accomplish this objective requires:

• The initiate seeking assistance from the teacher
• Faith in the possibility of accomplishing this objective
• Fervent desire and consistency of purpose
• Humility in undertaking such a momentous endeavor

The processes involved include:

• Entrancing the mind and the senses through:
  • The teacher giving suggestions of passivity and detachment from the mind and the body
  • The initiate meditating on a specified essay or concept
  • The teacher and the initiate communing with Higher Beings
  
  
• Setting the mental framework as the experience of the moment of death followed by rebirth
  
  
• The teacher manipulating the Force Field with his psychic energy and mind
  
  
  • To activate the psychic force field within which the initiate resides (this psychic life force is similar in conception to the gravitational and electromagnetic fields in physics)
  • To bring all facets of this life force into harmonious interplay and homeostasis
  
  
• The teacher's psyche leading the initiate's psyche by suggesting actions, feelings, images, persons, and thoughts
