Christ must prepare these aspirants for the higher initiations and so nourish and aid them that they can stand before the One Initiator and become pillars in the Temple of God (i.e., agents of the spiritual Hierarchy and, therefore, active, working disciples).24 "Lucifer is the 'One Initiator' whose star shines forth," writes Bailey in her Rays and Initiations . Sanat (a scramble for Satan) is also called the "One Initiator" in New Age circles. Hence their baptismal Jordan is the lake of fire.

The softening up includes changes in the new versions and 'initiation' for 'Christians'. (They have even changed Christian (?) Initiation
