I feel I have been on the Initiatic Path for most of this lifetime, starting with committing myself at the age of eight with Missionary parents in Haiti, then attending an esoteric school in London for 15 years, then following 2 Gurus, before discovering the Master Peter Deunov, and later committing my life to spreading his teaching by focusing on introducing the practice of PanEuRhythmy in a number of countries -- at present mainly in South America.

I am constantly learning from many Spiritual teachers and especially through the challenges of my own personal life and teaching people of many varying backgrounds and cultures. I am always refining further...

I resonate deeply in my work with the following quote:
"Truly the ancient wisdom of the ascended masters is being retouched today with
modern language, imagery and technology. For in this time of trouble new methodologies
and communication techniques as well as media savvy must be brought to bear in the
release of progressive revelation if our message is to reach the minds and hearts of our
intended audience."

and it is often my experience to have --
" every valid need and just desire instantly granted by the universe. Often I was somewhat startled to see how
quickly that cosmic providence was set in motion to carry out a request uttered
internally, often without ever being verbally consummated."

I certainly know that--
"there is no other choice than to walk forward into the light and allow God to continue to initiate you beyond your
prior expectations and mindsets."

The initiatic path is our journey of life we create. In our daily living, and through our free will choices and passing
of initiations or tests, we awaken to the realities of who we are. We seek our purpose in life, pursue our desires and
as we implement these in our life, we bring greater balance of the emotional, spiritual and devine.

Initiation is our means of assessing in a practical way our
actions or reactions to life through all daily circumstances
entering our world. Initiation or daily testings coming our
way bring enlightenment to our being that leads to unity
between the lower and higher selves. When we face ourself handling energies through daily living, layers of our being
are revealed.

As we awaken, we grow in discernment allowing our response
to circumstances of life, and with our teachers guiding us
into a higher path, we let go more and more of the egoic self.

I see myself on this path as an observer of my thoughts,
feelings, words and action seeking to take accountability
for all energies I emit.

My understanding of the Initiatic Path is that we are one with all life and we strive to be in harmony with all life at all times within all space.
At present, I see myself accepting and loving challenges as opportunities. I allow God's time table to flow in my daily life. I sense that life should be free and flowing smooth, if it isn't: then I let go of my human self and surrender to God's will. I rely on my divine guidance in achieving daily tasks. If I feel "something" is blocked at the moment from manifesting, I move on to "something else" that is not blocked at the current time.
I also devote a lot of time to where I am on the Cosmic Clock; I have created a personal call sheet with positive affirmations for each line and make the calls each morning!
I find that the key to everything is love, love for my higher self, love for my lower self. I love who I am, and I am constantly changing.
Meditation is my weak point.. Recently my inner self told me to concentrate more on feeling what I want to meditate on rather than seeing with my third eye. I am working on a thoughtform that I call The Cosmic Egg where I feel myself as a cosmic egg where the toric energy field is flowing thru all my 7 chakras and expanding to my 5 crystal ray chakras. This is a work in progress that gives me much joy!
As a cosmic egg, so I am the mother, I am giving birth to spaces of love and I am a co-creator in the universe.

My understanding of the initiatic path is an unending forever challenging cycle of maintaining and
sustaining a state of equipoise, to try to keep on going even if I am not sure if I have done enough.
To date, I have had eye opening experiences illuminating human responses to sudden unexpected
circumstances, in which I compared situations depicted in episodes or movies with what I just
experienced. In a key way I saw something familiar to relate to with some characters, indicative of
certain aspects of human existence which provoke each of us, challenge us, and potentially enlighten
us of common bonds, which we can accept or reject.

Normally, I am not particularly so associated with this aspect of life, due to an intensely more buddhic
mindfulness. But, in the scheme of things human, we need to be reminded that while we experience
a higher state of spiritual endeavors and strive on higher and higher as our momentums take us, we
are simultaneously also embodied in physical denser forms subject to enormous challenges emotionally,
spiritually, mentally so on. As I delve into daily life with others, in the family and work and social, I am
reminded of the intricate interactions of each to each other, and that there is a response in each situation. I am constantly aware each moment of the fact how I respond can set up another scenario,
hopefully more favorable, with more positive aspects.

All of these situations are initations, some much more challenging, some a reprise of an earlier similar
circumstance where I can take a step further in molding the more spiritual aspects of life with the
lesser self, to move it up, or move it aside so I can be more godly-responsive. I saw long ago in my
preteen years the nonsense of aspects of humanbeingness, the silly or foolish things that my peers
would act out, and I wanted no part of that. To join in would have compromised my state of being,
and it never occurred to me to be anything other than what I was. A black woman, one of the chaperones at the group camp site, recognized in me something and encouraged me. I don't recall
what she said, but I do recall that it impacted my inner sense of staying the course.

I could go on and on, chapter and verse, but I am for the moment satisfied that the question has been
answered to set the page to print and etherically import my beingness as a spiritual aspirant invoking
greater alignment with God's will and with the Ascended Masters mindset of Cosmic stuff unfolding
ceaselessly. Dream on, oh spiritual aspirants above and below, as we strive to engage the manifestation
of a golden crystal age. The sooner the better I say!
