spiritual power to initiate soul into the sound, and when this
happens, the entire course of the soul’s journey changes
from normal, mechanical evolution into spiritual evolution.
The seeker should therefore be keenly concerned
about the qualifications of one’s chosen guru. Both the
level of initiation and the doctrine a prospective master
previously embraced to achieve his or her own claims of
mastership must be of the highest, for as the spiritual adage
goes, you can never be more than the guru who initiated
you. an individual can only attain a level equal to the
heights achieved by one’s chosen guru, and so if one’s guru
cannot reach into the higher dimensions of spirituality, then
he or she certainly cannot teach the student how to do so,
let alone deliver one into that higher level of consciousness.
Therefore, in order for any seeker to actually receive the
true initiation into the sound Current, it must be given from
an authentic and realized sat guru. a light guru simply
cannot initiate at this high level.
spiritual lineage is extremely important in this con-
text, for the seeker must gain an insight into both the path
and prospective master one is investigating. a true living
Master will emphatically state that anyone claiming to be
a genuine Master of light and sound, without previously
having received the true initiation from a Master schooled
in the art of light and sound doctrine, is no true Master at
all. In a world where there are more gurus than there are
students, seekers must be very careful with whom they align
themselves and place their trust when considering spiritual
initiation. Thus, spiritual lineage serves as the seeker’s
major yardstick in verifying and judging a master’s cre-
dentials and spiritual authority to truly initiate the soul into
the cosmic mysteries. The only exception is when a param
saint, or swateh saint, has been sent by anami, the highest
