Becoming Ready
Before forming such a bond, the Master and initiate want to be sure that they
can be a team together. While it’s true that those who function as Upa-Gurus
(spiritual guides who teach some
aspect of higher consciousness rather than awaken
one into spiritual realization) can give minor initiations quite liberally and
casually without much contact with the initiate thereafter, this relationship is only a
helpful phase in the aspirant’s life. Through the help of an Upa-Guru, the seeker
grows into a ready and worthy candidate capable of entering into relationship with the
Master. And now the initiate and Master need a period of time to get to know one another.

Because the Master/Initiate relationship is of a life or death
importance spiritually, certain qualifications are usually required by the Master of the
aspirant. Most Masters look for initiates who feel life is not worth living unless they
can discover their true natures and go forward. Do you feel life would be an empty thing,
a sham, a vanity, if you do not find its true meaning, or discover your true nature and
potential?
Still, there are other significant qualifications...
