In India, Candidates for Initiation into "Raja Yoga" receive lessons from Yogi Masters aimed at illuminating the nature of the Real Self and imparting secret knowledge for developing awareness of their true identity. They learn to discard misconceptions about themselves. Until the Candidate fully grasps this instruction and realizes their Actual Identity, further teachings are withheld. This is because understanding one's power and the Will, which is fundamental to "Raja Yoga," requires this awakening. The Yogi Masters identify two degrees of consciousness related to the Real Self. The first, "the Consciousness of the 'I'," allows the Candidate to recognize their existence as a true entity, independent of the physical body. The second, "the Consciousness of the 'I AM'," connects the individual to Universal Life and all existence. These levels of awareness unfold for those who pursue "The Path," sometimes suddenly, often gradually, and frequently aided by "Raja Yoga" practices. The accompanying affirmation encourages individuals to recognize their spiritual essence, engage with the world, and develop their senses, ultimately leading to the awakening of higher consciousness. The Universe is seen as a vast home to explore and understand.
