guardian The first trial that the candidate has to face is the trial of the Guardian of the Threshold. This is the reflection of the “I”, the intimate depths of the “I”. Many are they who fail this terrible trial.

In the internal worlds the candidate has to invoke the Guardian of the Threshold. A terrifying electrical hurricane precedes the terrible apparition.

The larva of the Threshold is armed with a terrible hypnotic power. In fact this monster has all the horrible ugliness of our own sins. It is the living mirror of our own evils. The struggle is terrible; face to face, hand to hand combat. If the Guardian wins, the candidate becomes enslaved by the horrible monster. If the candidate is victorious, the monster of the Threshold flees terrified. Then a metallic sound shakes the universe and the candidate is received in the Chamber of the Children. This reminds us of that phrase of the Hierophant Jesus the Christ: “Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

In the Chamber of the Children, the candidate is welcomed by the Holy Masters. The happiness is immense because a human being has entered the path of initiation. The entire College of initiates (children) congratulates the candidate. The candidate has defeated the first Guardian. This trial takes place in the astral world.
