***The Second Initiation involves Beginning Mastery of the Emotional Body and Desire Self
The second initiation deals with learning to control and master the emotional or astral body. This involves mastering uncontrolled lower-self desires and replacing them with the higher desires of the Soul.
Selfish desires are transcended, to a basic degree, by a desire to serve. Selfish love is replaced, to a beginning degree, by unconditional love. Moods and emotional roller coasters are beginning to be replaced by even-mindedness. So the second initiation marks the beginning of emotional and psychological cleansing.
It is not possible to take our ascension without first purifying and cleansing our emotional and psychological body and self. The ultimate goal is to transcend all negative ego/ fear-based/ separative/ dualistic/ illusionary/ selfish/ lower-self feelings and emotions and to only experience feelings of joy, bliss, happiness, and deep inner peace.
A good visualization exercise to still the emotional body is to picture it clear and serene as a pure and peaceful pool of water. This visualization will help us to carry forward the calmness into our daily lives.
Part of the Soul’s challenge at this stage is practicing unconditional love, vigilantly monitoring one’s feelings and emotions - transcending fear-based ones with love-based ones – and making an overall effort to quiet the emotional body through tools such as meditation, creative and positive visualization, affirmations, journal-writing, and communicating with the inner child.
The Integrated Ascended Master realizes that emotional self-mastery and purification is an ongoing process that extends into all the higher initiations as well. This is why he is ever working on purifying his emotional body to higher and higher degrees by transcending lower-self desires and fear-based feelings and emotions.
