Christian initiation (also called Christian Gnostic initiation) is a path of spiritual training based on the intense emotional reliving of the Passion of Christ, as described in the Gospel of John. In this way, above all the mind soul, i.e. the part of the intellectual or mind soul that is oriented towards a healthy sense of truth, is richly trained. Since this path of training demands a temporary separation from the outer everyday business, it is no longer practicable for many people today due to the demands of our consciousness-soul age. For them, the Rosicrucian path of spiritual training was inaugurated, on which the anthroposophical spiritual training is also oriented.
