ecoming more than the little self of this lifetime, grasping the totality of who we were
and who we are to be -- our Essential Self.
Some of us have greater potential than others. Some are born with an instinctive
understanding of their potential and they may gradually come to realize that potential on
their own. <strong>The</strong>y recall without prompting and their power is great.
<strong>The</strong> bulk of our number are born ignorant to what they are. As they grow and mature,
there are subtle hints of the latent power, but fear and self-doubt generally keep these
from being acknowledged and accepted. Such as these must be awakened to their true
selves by another of our number already familiar to our ways.
<strong>The</strong>re are two rituals of initiation. <strong>The</strong> Lesser Initiation is an exchange of feeding which
occurs between the teacher and the initiate. <strong>The</strong> initiate is drained deeply, often for the
first time. This heightens his awareness of his energy body and will often catalyze him
into realizing his potential in the next few days. <strong>The</strong> sensations that this process inspires
are usually too intense to ignore or explain away. If fed from deeply enough, his instincts
will overcome him and he will feed from others in order to replenish his depleted system.
<strong>The</strong> Greater Initiation involves a ritual death and rebirth which occurs on both the
physical and spiritual levels for the initiate. It is visionary and shamanic in nature and
forces the initiate to face himself and all that he has been within the boundaries of his
own soul. Like all deaths and rebirths, this ritual strips away old identities and
assumptions. <strong>The</strong> little self of this lifetime is subsumed into the greater Self, and the
initiate is irrevocably changed. This rite is reserved for only the strongest minds, for any
who are weak or filled with fear may not survive the initiation. <strong>The</strong>ir minds can be blown
away like dry autumn leaves in the face of the totality of who they are.
V. Potential
We often associate with the Awakened or with those who hover upon the threshold of
Awakening. We prefer the company of those who can interact at least to some degree
with the level of reality that is our constant daily experience.
By our very natures we Awaken those around us. Even those not of our kind can be
affected by the transformative effects of our presence. We draw out latent powers and
provide a burden of proof for individuals who have otherwise rejected their own natures
due to self-doubt. We can use this intentionally if we choose, though it will always occur
to some degree, whether intentional or not.
Sometimes we mistake a Potential of our own kind merely for one of the Awakened. If
such an unrecognized Potential is fed from, the effect, though unintentional, is equivalent
to the Lesser Initiation. <strong>The</strong> Potential feels himself undergo a change and is driven to feed
from others. Such accidents cannot be abandoned. Confused as to their true nature,
ignorant of their power, they wield that power nonetheless and can cause much damage
to themselves and others if left to struggle on their own.
