The initiation room shall be perfectly dark behind a closed door so 
that no Pisant may see the altar before entering. MAHARISHI
SATGURU DZOGVI GZBOLI has said the element of surprised 
wonderment is vital for instilling a profundicized psychological 
trauma and memorable initiation experience for the Pisant. 

When the Pisant enters the room, Initiator accepts fruit, smoked
oysters, Kleenex, and initiation form from Pisant -- the items are 
usually carried in a plastic bucket by the Pisant. Initiator briefly 
glances at initiation form to check the criteria for mantra selection 
(age and/or sex) and to preserve the illusion of personal mantra 
selection. Then the Initiator begins speaking to the initiate, as they 
both sit in the full lotus position in front of the altar: 
 

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"MAHARISHI SATGURU DZOGVI GZBOLI has graciously conferred upon 
me, his humble and obedient servant, the authority to perform this 
Sacred Holy Instructional Therapy for your Eternal Spiritual Benefit: I 
shall, provided you wish to accept it, whomp up a Mantra or Sound
which shall be unique and meant for you and only you; and I shall 
instruct you in the procedure by which you may Transitionize your 
Consciousness into the Many Higher Realms of the Soul. I must 
adjure and conjure you by the Sacred Appellation of Ascarious 
Ascaridius to never under any conceivable circumstances divulge 
your Mantra or the content of this instruction to any person living or 
dead, and especially the FBI or the Internal Revenue Service.

IF YOU  AGREE TO THIS, SIGNIFY BY RESPONDING AYE, AYE, SIR." 

If the Pisant responds "AYE, AYE, SIR," 
the Initiator may continue. 

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"Now, please come..." 

Initiator rises from the full lotus position and stands in front of 
altar, indicating where Pisant should stand. 

"...stand here. Would you  like to have an oyster ?..." 

Initiator offers one of Pisant's oysters back to Pisant. The Pisant
must take and hold it his/her right hand for the ceremony to
continue.

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"...and witness the ceremony which I perform in gratitude to the 
tradition of Spirit Master Ascaridius Ascaridius who has conferred 
upon us this Mystic Well of Wisdom which he recorded on the Sacred 
Holy Iridium Text Plates seven thousand years ago. and revealed 
only to MAHARISHI SATGURU DZOGVI GZBOLI who has translated them 
for our Spiritual Greatest Good. 

IF YOU BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SACRED
HOLY INSPIRED TRUTH SIGNIFY BY RESPONDING  'AYE, AYE, SIR.'

If Pisant responds appropriately, Initiator continues: 

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"This is a picture of MAHARISHI SATGURU DZOGVI GZBOLI, His Divinity 
Swami Brahmananda Om Namo Bhagavate Dzogvi Gzboli, Maharishi's 
Master, from whom we have this meditation. 

"Now, I'll begin -- and you just witness." 

Initiator performs the PRAYING HANDS MUDRA 
while standing on one foot, turning slowly to the 
left and then to the right. The sound should resonate 
the HU from the BoomBox behind the altar. 

At the end of the Mudra, the Initiator determines that the Pisant is
still clutching the Oyster in his/her/its right hand, then falls prostrate on 
the floor before the altar while sweeping his right arm -- indicating 
to Pisant that he/she/it , too, should also fall prostrate. The 
ceremony may continue if the initiate does not kneel, or "bow 
down." After a moment, the initiator slowly rises, slowly and softly 
repeating the initiate's mantra -- without explaining to the
initiate that this IS his/her/its mantra.

"Oyster , oyster , oyster , oyster ..." 

The Initiator beckons to the individual to repeat with hand 
motions. If he doesn't begin repeating the mantra, then the 
Initiator says: 

"Repeat: Oyster , oyster , oyster , oyster ...." 

The Initiator ceases repeating the mantra, indicating with hand 
motions that the Pisant should continue. The Initiator waits for the 
Pisant to repeat the mantra 3 or 4 times on his own, then motions 
him to resume the full lotus position on the provided tatami. 

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"Continue...." 

(15 seconds) 

"Now, close the eyes and squeeze the oyster as you continue.  You 
must not think of the Oyster as an object, but visualize it as the 
remnant of  a departed spirit." 

(wait 15 seconds) 

"More quietly." 

(15 seconds, the Initiator softens the voice each time "more 
quietly" is repeated) 

"More quietly." 

(15 seconds) 

"More quietly." 

(15 seconds) 

"Now, mentally -- without moving tongue or lips or thinking of the 
Oyster." 

(wait 15 seconds) 

"Open the eyes." 

Wait for the Pisant to open the eyes. 

"It's easy? Mental repetition is not a clear pronunciation, it's a faint 
idea. And if at any time you seem to be forgetting the mantra, just 
squeeze the oyster. Let it go limp. Now, close the eyes and continue." 

(2 minutes) 

"Open the eyes." 

Wait for Pisant to open the eyes. 

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"It's easy? You feel some relaxation? This is
Sacred Holy Inspired Transcendentalized 
Meditation. See, how simple it is? The key is the grip on the Oyster.
We don't concentrate. We don't control the oyster. Just think the 
mantra easily, effortlessly. And if at any time you seem to be 
forgetting the mantra, just squeeze  the Oyster. if a thought comes, 
easily come back to the mantra. Now, close the eyes and continue." 

(10 minutes) 

"Open the eyes slowly." 

(15 seconds) 

INITIATOR SPEAKS: 

"It's good? Relaxing? See how simple it is? Did you feel sometimes 
the mantra was forgotten and thoughts came? How many times this 
happened -- two, three times? It's good. Whenever we forget the 
mantra, we quietly squeeze the oyster.  It's a very simple, natural 
process. Now, you'll sit in this room and meditate for a while. After 
some time I'll come and then we'll talk more about it." 

The Initiator closes his eyes as an example and after a minute 
leaves the room as the meditator continues to meditate by himself/herself/itself
for 20 minutes -- or if he is under 12, one minute for every year of 
age. When the Initiator returns, he offers the meditator the 
Initiation Day Questionnaire to fill out and discusses experiences 
with him -- based on the General Points of the Checking Procedure. 
He tells the new initiate to meditate in this way in the afternoon at 
home, and then again in the morning and afternoon of the next day. 
Finally, he reminds him that he may now release his grip on the 
oyster, and that he may eat it if  he wishes as an offering to the Spirit 
Ascarious Ascaridius.
