Course XXIV - Teaching 12: Mutual Relationship of Different Categories of Initiates

Great Solar Initiates ever come along with Initiates of other categories.
Here we do not refer to those Initiates whose mission is to prophesy and prepare the way for Their coming or to those who work before their arrival to prepare the environment and magnetic currents to receive and give refuge to them.
In Solar Initiates’ case, a mother is always a Lunar Initiate and a father an Initiate of Fire. Those who are in charge of their education the first years are generally Initiates of Fire or disciples of Initiates.
When it is time for the Solar Initiate to be in tune with his redeeming work, a Lunar Initiate becomes indispensable to proclaim him before the world and to confirm the magnificence of his mission. It is the case of the Solar Initiate John the Baptist that confirms Christ in this Messianic mission through the baptism.
Disciples of Great Solar Initiate are Lunar Initiates, and their propagators are Initiates of Fire and disciples of Initiates of Fire.
Around the Buddha there are thirty two Lunar Initiates cooperating with his great work; their mission is to synthesize his ideas; he has Initiates of Fire, propagators to preach and spread them throughout the world.
Christ has twelve Lunar Initiates that are the twelve Apostles, and seventy-two Initiates of Fire that are disciples, besides women and men following him with great devotion.
Very different are relationships between Lunar Initiates when they come to achieve a work directly entrusted to them, and other categories of Initiates. They never have a living contact with some Solar Initiate. If some time they make it with some other Lunar Initiate, it is through a distant friendship or little contacts that do no permit a true exchange of magnetic forces between the auras of the Great Initiates. But many Initiates of Fire accompany them.
The mother of the Lunar Initiate is always an Initiate of Fire; also sometimes his father does: likewise the instructor that educates him for the mission to achieve.
His direct disciples are always Initiates of Fire that participate together in the work as collaborators.
Initiates of Fire, when they have to achieve a particular work, keep themselves distant in life from Initiates of other categories. Sometimes, their work is so personal that is totally like the mission of the Lunar Initiate, although lacks the extraordinary interest and desire for engraving it on certain characteristic sector of that work. The mission of an Initiate of Fire is always eclectic.
It is necessary to observe that these great currents of power, sometimes synthesized by extraordinary men, aim at merging each other and introducing themselves as forces radiated together for the progress and advance of Humanity.
