My old teacher was decades ahead of his time and a master of the gap. He knew this place wasn’t solid, and he was fearless in the way he moved in and out through the Hidden Door. The supernatural was natural to him; he knew the secrets of backwards and forwards, so he could see the future. He knew about the initiates.
My old teacher said many strange things. I can see them coming true now almost thirty years later. One thing he said was that at the end, initiates would appear to take people to safety. He called the initiates the Purple Sages. I think at the time I imagined wise old men in cloaks. But I didn’t know Arthur from Martha in those days. I was very green.
Then one day, I saw the mark on the forehead appear on some people I was having dinner with. Four of them had a mini-spiral galaxy that moved around their foreheads, the spirals didn’t stay in the center necessarily. And the other person had a mark that looked like a donut but it was very small, only about the size of a quarter. It was also off-set, about two inches from the center of her forehead and slightly up towards her hairline. Three were women, two were men.
I came to see that the supposed link between the third eye and the mark may not be correct, as the mark is several inches away from where we think the third eye is in the center. Plus the mark never stops moving; it’s oscillating and shimmering and darting about all of the time. I liked the mark, it was kind of cool, very alive.
I thought perhaps the people with the mark are the initiates, but I wasn’t sure as then I was still expecting old men in long cloaks. Then gradually I came to see that the initiates are very ordinary looking and not necessarily old or male. They all have the same quality in that they are really magical people that live in the reality of the supernatural. Each expresses it slightly differently, but they all seem very comfortable with transdimensional states of being.
Over the years, I found I could pick them out of a group real quick. I just look and I know. There is an etheric depth inside their heart that others don’t have. They are custodians of the gap, so there is an eternity inside them. It is as if you could fly into their heart and wind up at a distant star system. I am not sure if some of the initiates are born to, or if they fall into it over time, like train for it.
But there is one thing they almost all have in common, none of them knows they are an initiate. They know they have the power and the connection to the sacred ways, but they don’t know who they are. That is so cool. Years ago this baffled me, but later, once I saw the ghouls and their control here in this world, I realized the initiates have to remain a secret. They would be attacked into submission if not. But one day they have to come out of hiding and make a move and that day is coming.
