According to Mystic Philosophy, initiation by a Mystic is a requirement for anyone journeying to the highest level of Spirituality.
When you are ready, your teacher will come into your life. It is unavoidable. It is in the design of this Creation. The highest of teachers will appear in human form, but is far beyond being human. They take human form to connect with you, when you are ready.
It is a journey of the Highest and most Pure Divine Love, and when your yearning is great enough, the path will open to you.
