"Initiation is an ascetic path that teaches human beings to rid themselves of their weaknesses and all their lower tendencies. It can be compared to the opening through which a snake passes when it must shed its skin. That is why Jesus said: 'Enter through the narrow gate. Because wide is the gate and spacious the path which leads to perdition.' The disciple is one who is preparing himself in order to pass through the narrow gate that will remove his old skin. And instead of being worried and afraid, he must rejoice in becoming a new person with new thoughts, new feelings, and a new life-style, worthy of a true child of God.
It may be said that during his existence a human being passes through three gates: the first two are those of birth and death, through which all people must pass, whatever their degree of evolution. But only those capable of a great work of purification and detachment may pass through the third gate: that of initiation."Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
