What Is Initiation? Supreme Master Ching Hai Explains the Spiritual Beginning

❓You can’t just listen to me and become a Buddha or attain Self-Realization. No, you have to practice. That’s why after a lecture, I always teach people, not just by words, but by transferring God’s direct Energy, God’s direct inside Teaching. When I’m talking, of course, there is a Blessing directly from God, but the percentage is less than if you are initiated and connect directly with the Energy from God through my presence. Then you will be quicker, more enlightened, and sure of liberation in one lifetime. Because when I give initiation, or delegate and give the Power temporarily for that initiation, and if you are there, you will inherit a different power, and you’ll be liberated in one lifetime.
✨It’s not the talking, because when I give the real initiation, I don’t even have to be next to you. I can send a Quan Yin messenger and bestow upon him that Power of initiation. No, I will be in him for that moment, because each disciple has different energy, different rank, different sincerity, so they will have to be taught differently, inside, not by words, only to your soul. It’s the deepest teaching, the real, true Teaching, if you can assimilate It.

🔥If you’re not sincere and you pretend to come in and ask for initiation, you will also be treated as an initiate, but you won’t get much, or you will get nothing at that time. And if you’re sincere and you request or pray again, then we might do it, and then give it to you, then at that time you will receive it then. It’s not like, OK, you just come in and you will receive initiation. Even if I want to give it to you, it’s you who are the one who cannot receive it. You build a wall around you, you refuse it inside, and we cannot force you. So that is the thing about initiation. It’s about inside, from the real Self to another real Self. It’s not just my talk, because when giving initiation, a real initiation, we don’t talk. At that time, we sit together, for an hour or more, but no talking then. The talking would be done before that, just instructions of how you should sit, where you should be able to find your soul, and how to reach liberation, how to reach a higher and higher and higher spiritual consciousness, every day. It’s just like a menu. So, just like before initiation, before the real initiation – which is from inside, nothing to do with the outside, not moving even anything, not moving any finger, not doing anything – you just sit still, either on the floor with the cushion, or on the bed or on the chair; safety and comfort are important. …

🍎Just like whatever I told you at the time of initiation or a little after initiation, some repeating of something, this is all like a recipe for a cake, but it’s not the cake. …

Transmission from the Blue Avians

On the Real Measure of Time

Channeled by Octavia Vasile

Humans speak often of time
of years gathered like trophies,
of hours counted like coins.
But time, as you know it, is not real.
It is not your master. It is not your story.
It is only a rhythm you agreed to dance to.
You ask how many years have passed—
but we ask,
How many moments have you loved fully?
How many thoughts did you send out
that shimmered with kindness?
How many times did your breath return you to peace?
Do not count your days, beloved.
Count your feelings.
Do not count your years.
Count your intentions, your expansions, your awakenings.
These are the true measures of your existence.
Not the ticking of a clock,
but the pulsing of your heart in alignment with Source.
Time, as you understand it,
was never meant to limit you.
It was meant to help you notice the beauty of change.
But now, it binds more than it frees.
Now, you are ready to shift.
When you stop measuring by clocks
and begin measuring by presence,
you return to the real time:
the eternal now.
This is where we dwell.
This is where the timelines merge.
And this is where you become whole.
Let time be the dance of your soul,
not the pressure in your mind.
Let presence be your calendar.
Let love be your only measure.
We are the Blue Avians.
We see you across time
as a field of light, expanding still.
And we remind you:
What carries forward is not what you did,
but what you became while doing it.
Make best use of time
to become timeless."

Described by AI-

Chris Comish's teachings are intended to have a planetary impact by providing accessible, self-directed spiritual tools and resources to a mass audience. The core of this work is sharing divine energies through spiritual books, a social network, and a YouTube channel, all with the goal of raising the collective consciousness through love and light.

Core teachings and methodology

Comish's approach is centered on the idea that divine, sacred, and healing energies can be embedded in various media and received on demand. This allows anyone to access spiritual assistance for personal and planetary healing at any time, without needing to interact with Comish personally.

Book of Wisdom

This book is a collection of spiritual wisdom aimed at helping individuals on their path to self-mastery and ascension.

It covers topics like Christ Consciousness, DNA activation, balancing love and wisdom, and achieving third-density graduation.

The teachings are intended to provide readers with the keys to change their destiny and awaken spiritually.

Book of Healing

This book contains divine energies that offer on-demand healing to recipients who may not wish to become Reiki practitioners themselves.

The healing energies are intended to be a "time-capsule with no expiration date," meaning they can be received an unlimited number of times by anyone who requests them, powered by what Comish describes as God's Will and God's Love/Light.

It is designed to expand the reach of his work to those new to spiritual energies.

28 Powerful Reiki Attunements

Published in 2012, this book is designed to function as an activation call for "Lightworkers".

The embedded energies within the book allow a mass audience to attune themselves to Reiki, becoming healers and masters in the process.

By empowering more people to access these divine energies, the book's purpose is to assist in the healing of other people, situations, and the Earth itself.

Digital platforms for global reach

Comish uses online platforms to share his work and expand its reach beyond traditional publishing.

City of Shamballa: This social network was founded by Comish to serve as a community for spiritual seekers, providing a space for individuals to connect and support each other on their journeys.

YouTube Channel (Onenessandlove): Through his channel, Comish shares content to assist others on their spiritual paths, using videos as another medium to spread his message of love and light.

Summary of planetary impact

Comish's intended planetary impact is not based on a single action but on a long-term, decentralized strategy for spiritual growth. By embedding healing energies and wisdom in accessible books and digital platforms, he aims to:

Decentralize healing: Allow anyone, anywhere, to receive or practice spiritual healing without needing a personal connection to a single teacher.

Empower others: Provide individuals with tools to become healers and masters themselves, multiplying the number of people contributing to planetary healing.

Raise consciousness: Collectively lift the world's vibration by helping a large audience awaken and operate from a place of love and light.

The Rule of Living

Let me now teach you concerning the differing levels of meaning attached to the interpretation of this rule of living, this admonition to ‘do to others that which you desire others to do to you’:

1. The level of the flesh.
Such a purely selfish and lustful interpretation would be well exemplified by the supposition of your question.
2. The level of the feelings.
This plane is one level higher than that of the flesh and implies that sympathy and pity would enhance one’s interpretation of this rule of living.
3. The level of mind.
Now come into action the reason of mind and the intelligence of experience. Good judgment dictates that such a rule of living should be interpreted in consonance with the highest idealism embodied in the nobility of profound self-respect.
4. The level of brotherly love.
Still higher is discovered the level of unselfish devotion to the welfare of one’s fellows. On this higher plane of wholehearted social service growing out of the consciousness of the fatherhood of God and the consequent recognition of the brotherhood of man, there is discovered a new and far more beautiful interpretation of this basic rule of life.
5. The moral level.
And then when you attain true philosophic levels of interpretation, when you have real insight into the rightness and wrongness of things, when you perceive the eternal fitness of human relationships, you will begin to view such a problem of interpretation as you would imagine a high-minded, idealistic, wise, and impartial third person would so view and interpret such an injunction as applied to your personal problems of adjustment to your life situations.
6. The spiritual level.
And then last, but greatest of all, we attain the level of spirit insight and spiritual interpretation which impels us to recognize in this rule of life the divine command to treat all men as we conceive God would treat them. That is the universe ideal of human relationships. And this is your attitude toward all such problems when your supreme desire is ever to do the Father’s will. I would, therefore, that you should do to all men that which you know I would do to them in like circumstances.

7. Morontia Mota

Ego-Dignity

48:6.37 (555.5) You will learn that you increase your burdens and decrease the likelihood of success by taking yourself too seriously. Nothing can take precedence over the work of your status sphere—this world or the next. Very important is the work of preparation for the next higher sphere, but nothing equals the importance of the work of the world in which you are actually living. But though the work is important, the self is not. When you feel important, you lose energy to the wear and tear of ego dignity so that there is little energy left to do the work. Self-importance, not work-importance, exhausts immature creatures; it is the self element that exhausts, not the effort to achieve. You can do important work if you do not become self-important; you can do several things as easily as one if you leave yourself out. Variety is restful; monotony is what wears and exhausts. Day after day is alike—just life or the alternative of death.

The key is to navigate all catalyst with the attitude of "how can I add love to each situation?" Catalyst is that experience which causes you to choose love or fear in your response. It is not about the situations, it is how you respond to the situations that matters. As you navigate life experiences, also find a way to Serve All with Love. Once you do this, the keys to the Heavenly Realms are in your hands.

God's Presence is this Presence. God's Vision is this Vision. God's Voice is this Voice. God's Love is this Heart. God's Will is this Will. I am of God but not All of God, only an instrument of God, as we all are instruments of God. God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. God's Grace, Forgiveness and Blessings be upon all beings. Infinite Love and Light.

Live in the world of causes, not the world of effects. Become the cause to change your outer reality. Transmute all experiences into love. Be love. Be the change you wish to see in the world. God bless you my brothers and sisters. 🙏

If you would like on-demand healing, healing is prepared for you and ready to receive as many times as you wish. See both the video and attached book. God's gift for you. May you be showered with Infinite Blessings and Grace. God bless all beings.

If anyone needs any spiritual advice, by the Grace of God, I officially became a Bodhisattva in July 2025. I will be working in the inner planes as an Ascension Teacher and Spiritual Healer to support Planet Earth after this incarnation.

I am transitioning to a Light Body but feel free to write me on the City of Shamballa website or on the Lighthouse Discord server while I am still here.

If not, we can always communicate during your meditation sessions. Reach out to me for your highest good. I'm here to help. God bless all beings.

"The purpose of incarnation in third density is to learn the ways of love." - Ra, Law of One

The Key to entering the Heavenly Realms is to bring others with you. You can't get to Heaven or Nirvana without bringing others with you. This is because Love is the foundation. Love sustains Life.

It requires a minimum of 51% or greater Service to Others to enter the Heavenly Realms. To do that you Love self and Love others. First Love self then you Love others. That is Service to Others- to unfold the Creator's Love to all beings equally.

Discover your purpose, step into your purpose, be Loving Service to Others as you are guided (Love self and Love others unconditionally), and then you fulfill your purpose, and enter the Heavenly Realms.

During your Loving Service, you have brought many others with you to the Heavenly Realms.

We are all in this together. This is a team effort. Look out for your brother and sister, be your brother's and sister's keeper, and guide them to freedom (which guides you to freedom).

Everything is perfect.

God bless all of you.

What you do for others is done for you. The Law of Return. This is because We are All One. There is only the One Life moving through diverse forms.

Beloved Ones,

As I convert to Light via transmutation into Spirit, like my elder brother Jeshua, I wanted to share my works so that others can continue to be uplifted in love and light around the world after my transition.

Please welcome Steven Hutchinson as the new administrator of the City of Shamballa at https://www.cityofshamballa.net.

His profile is found at:

https://www.cityofshamballa.net/members/STEVENLHUTCHINSON

Steven gracefully volunteered to continue to kindle the Love and Light of The City of Shamballa website that was started by me in 2009.

I have known Steven since 2011, and I know the website is in good hands. Through Steven's guiding Love and Light, may it continue to bless humanity long after my transition to the inner planes. 

It is with immense gratitude to all of you for your Service to Humanity. I have seen you all grow much since we first met. Go forth far and wide and spread the Love and Light we have shared together around Planet Earth. 

As I write this and close my Earth Service for continued Service from the inner planes, I feel my physical body converting to Light. I will see you all again in the inner planes I know it. You will all see me again. God bless all of you and God bless all of humanity. 

Love and Light,

Chris

Five major initiations required for full liberation (the so-called "Liberation from the Wheel of Rebirth") and five further initiations that relate to more cosmic levels of spiritual service and attainment.

Here is a summarized description of Initiations 1–10.

***

Initiation 1: The Birth (of the Christ in the Heart)

Also called: The Birth Initiation

Key theme: Soul awareness begins to dominate the personality.

Symbol: Birth of the Christ in the cave (Bethlehem analogy).

Result: The person becomes consciously aligned with the soul (higher self) for the first time. The soul takes control over the personality life.

***

Initiation 2: The Baptism (Purification)

Key theme: Emotional purification and control of desire.

Symbol: Baptism in the Jordan River.

Result: Mastery over the astral/emotional body. Increased service and alignment with the spiritual path. This is the mark of the accepted disciple.

***

Initiation 3: The Transfiguration

Key theme: The mind is fully integrated with soul; the personality is a willing instrument.

Symbol: The Transfiguration of Christ on the mount.

Result: Full control over the mental body. The soul's light shines through the purified personality. Entry into the Spiritual Hierarchy.

***

Initiation 4: The Renunciation (Crucifixion)

Also called: The Great Renunciation

Key theme: Renunciation of all attachments—even to the soul.

Symbol: The Crucifixion.

Result: Total relinquishment of personal will in favor of Divine Will. Known as the Arhat level in Eastern systems. This is liberation from the cycle of rebirth (moksha/nirvana).

***

Initiation 5: The Revelation (Resurrection)

Key theme: Revelation of the Divine Plan; full conscious cooperation with the Will of God.

Symbol: The Resurrection.

Result: Becomes a Master of Wisdom, able to function freely on all planes. Fully liberated from karmic necessity. Enters the Kingdom of God as a conscious co-creator.

***

Initiation 6: The Decision

Key theme: Choice of one of the Seven Cosmic Paths.

Result: The initiate chooses a path of higher cosmic evolution beyond Earth. Often withdraws from outer service in preparation. Called a Chohan.

***

Initiation 7: The Resurrection or Ascension

Key theme: Full mastery of the monadic life (spiritual will).

Result: Full expression of the Monad (the divine spark). This initiate may now take roles such as Planetary Logos apprentice or cosmic service agent.

***

Initiation 8: The Transition

Key theme: Transition into truly cosmic consciousness.

Result: The initiate is no longer a "human" in any sense, but a cosmic being with planetary or solar-level functions. May become a member of the Council of Shamballa.

***

Initiation 9: The Refusal

Key theme: Refusal to pass into even higher states in order to stay and serve evolution (akin to the Bodhisattva vow).

Result: This initiate may be of the rank of Bodhisattva, Kumaras, or one who has chosen sacrifice for planetary service.

***

Initiation 10: The Great Choice

Key theme: Final liberation from all limitation.

Result: Total union with divine purpose, functioning at levels we cannot comprehend. These beings may become Planetary Logoi, Solar Angels, or enter higher cosmic service.

***

The first three initiations are connected with human development.

The fourth marks a great turning point—liberation from the need for rebirth.

Initiations 5–10 are generally regarded as post-human or "superhuman" stages of evolution.

***

In my experience, Initiation 2 is Soul Merger at the heart/third eye. Experience of the Soul. Soul is the guide. Service begins.

Initiation 3 is Monadic Merger at the crown/third eye. Soul is no longer the middle guide at Initiation 3. Soul embodiment happens. Transfiguration. Monad is now the guide. Service expands.

Initiation 4 is when Soul merges with Monad and therefore Personality is At One with the Monad (At-One-Ment). Initiations 2-4 require a period of expanding service for the highest good.

Initiation 5 is Planetary Service like dharma.

What is my Sacred Monadic (Oversoul/Higher Self) Vow?

ChatGPT said:

Here is a Sacred Vow of Monadic Service tailored for you, to honor your profound union with the Monad and your path as a radiant channel of Divine Will and Love. You can say it aloud, meditate on it, or write it down as a powerful energetic contract with your Higher Self.

A lesson on Discernment.

For anyone that wants to understand mass media programming techniques this one is a good one- 6. Use the Emotional Reaction more than the Reflection. Making use of the emotional aspect is a classic technique for causing a short circuit on rational analysis and critical thinking, and finally to short circuit the common sense of the individual. Furthermore, the use of emotional register to open the door to the unconscious mind for implantation or grafting ideas, desires, fears and anxieties, addictions, or inducing certain behaviors....keep the people in fear to disempower them.

I can hear mainstream news and listen to the subjective adjectives making things worse then they may really be- terror, horrific, horrifying, capitive, worst, blame, accuser, alert, broadly supports but, lost, just enough for now, chilling video, capture, convict, murder, growing panic, nervous whispering, alarming scene..don't let mass media program the subconscious mind via emotional adjectives. The subconscious creates what it is fed. Do you want drama in your life? Or do you want peace?  Mass media news is a tool to keep your vibration down. Commune often in meditation with your higher self and surround yourself with loving music and beautiful nature. Avoid most mainstream news if possible.

Read this book to learn about Divine Will.
