In India, the Candidates for Initiation into the science of Raja Yoga,when they apply to the Yogi Masters for instruction, are given a seriesof lessons designed to enlighten them regarding the nature of the RealSelf, and to instruct them in the secret knowledge whereby they maydevelop the consciousness and realization of the real I within them.They are shown how they may cast aside the erroneous or imperfectknowledge regarding their real identity.Until the Candidate masters this instruction, or at least until the truthbecomes fixed in his consciousness, further instruction is denied him,for it is held that until he has awakened to a conscious realization ofhis Actual Identity, he is not able to understand the source of hispower, and, moreover, is not able to feel within him the power of theWill, which power underlies the entire teachings of Raja Yoga.The Yogi Masters are hot satisfied if the Candidate forms merely a clearintellectual conception of this Actual Identity, but they insist that hemust feel the truth of the same--must become aware of the RealSelf--must enter into a consciousness in which the realization becomes apart of his everyday self--in which the realizing consciousness becomesthe prevailing idea in his mind, around which his entire thoughts andactions revolve.To some Candidates, this realization comes like a lightning flash themoment the attention is directed toward it, while in other cases theCandidates find it necessary to follow a rigorous course of trainingbefore they acquire the realization in consciousness.The Yogi Masters teach that there are two degrees of this awakeningconsciousness of the Real Self. The first, which they call theConsciousness of the I, is the full consciousness of real existencethat comes to the Candidate, and which causes him to know that he is areal entity having a life not depending upon the body--life that will goon in spite of the destruction of the body--real life, in fact. Thesecond degree, which they call the Consciousness of the I AM, isthe consciousness of ones identity with the Universal Life, and hisrelationship to, and in-touchness with all life, expressed andunexpressed. These two degrees of consciousness come in time to all whoseek The Path. To some it comes suddenly; to others it dawns gradually;to many it comes assisted by the exercises and practical work of RajaYoga.
