Synopsis

Although more than 100 years old, this book possesses the rare attribute of being as youthful and actual today as it was when first written. This is because Initiations offers something to the sincere and earnest seeker, which is so hard to find in the enormous quantity of literature about human spiritual and occult endeavors, in the striving for the solution to the burning problems of inner life.

It has been possible only because the author of Initiations really lived through everything he describes in such a fascinating way. This urges the reader to attempt the Path for himself, which is by no means impossible, for that Path is utterly independent of any outer conditions, such as race, age, worldly position, family ties, and so on. It remains open to everyone who has the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

The book explains in the simplest way, but one which reaches into the ultimate depths of the human soul, all the problems dealing with modern and ancient occult philosophy and spiritual searching, as well as social and political conundrums of this and probably also future periods.

About this title

About the Author:

Paul Sédir , (Yves Leloup), was a French mystic of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. There are stories about Sédir to the effect that he never lost an opportunity to speak with and teach new souls about the spiritual life and the great necessity for a turning around of our lives especially in this day and age, that he walked many miles during a strike in Paris to lecture for one single person, that he followed his conscience and inner intuition on basically every choice he made.

Mouni Sadhu is the mystical name taken by Dymitr Sudoski, a noted Occultist and Mystic of the first half of the Twentieth Century. The word “mouni” means silent and “sadhu” refers to a wandering holy man. The author has tried many paths on the route to self-realization, and is uniquely qualified to relate the truths in this book. Steeped in the Hermetic schools which abounded at the turn of the 19th century, then embracing the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and Vichara―yet never forgetting his Catholic faith―Mouni Sadhu successfully advances our mental synthesis and leads us to the door of True Self. Mouni’s writing was based not only on rigorous study of the texts of his day, but on personal experience and diligent practice.
