This brings up an interesting question, one which has bothered me for a while.
What is an Initiate? And how does one recognize one? By the what he/she
teaches or writes? By what others say that person is? Does he walk around with
a badge that says INITIATE on it, pinned to his lapel? I would appreciate
answers from any member of Theos-l.
