The first sacrament, which comes to us by the action of the first ray, is the sacrament of '''Baptism'''. Baptism is the origin of the sacred mission, the sacred event of the consecration of the soul to the will of God. It is the moment when the soul is infused with the mantra that was spoken by [[Jesus]] when he descended into his form in Bethlehem: “Lo, I AM come to do thy will, O God!” | The first sacrament, which comes to us by the action of the first ray, is the sacrament of '''Baptism'''.

Some have the idea that the little child in arms cannot be baptized because he cannot give full acknowledgment to that mantra. But it is a mantra of the soul. . . . It is the commitment of will upon incarnation, as the soul is sent forth from God to earth. And when the soul has arrived, that child’s presentation in the temple and coming forth for Baptism is sponsored by the parents who stand with the soul at inner levels in the commitment “to do thy will, O God.” | Some have the idea that the little child in arms cannot be baptized because he cannot give full acknowledgment to that mantra.

The second sacred event in the life of the one who is seeking to put on the wedding garment is the sacrament of '''First Holy Communion'''. Communion means “coming into union” with the Christ Mind through the activation of the crown chakra. This sacrament takes place at about the age of seven. It is the first receiving of the bread and wine. It is the initiation of the ritual of the drawing in of the increments of the [[threefold flame]] of Jesus. It is putting on the body and the blood of Christ. | The second sacred event in the life of the one who is seeking to put on the wedding garment is the sacrament of '''First Holy Communion'''.
