The Seven Initiations On The Spiritual Path
Understanding the Purpose of Life’s Tests
The Seven Initiations . . . explains how the path towards enlightenment involves seven major tests, or initiations, and that we are always going through one or more of these initiations as a means of reaching our personal awakenings. The masters of ancient civilizations understood these initiations and taught us how to walk through our personal tests and into higher levels of awareness. The Seven Initiations . . . condenses volumes of information into clear and simple concepts that explain how each initiation will look in our lives, while providing a map (found in the sacred geometry of our bodies) for our evolutionary journeys.
Reviews of The Seven Initiations on the Spiritual Path
Easy to follow guide for any spiritual journey
This is a little book that packs a huge punch. Very well put together and easy to understand. I love that it is not about making any path “wrong” and all events are useful, if we realize this. My favorite, learning lessons the hard way or the easy way…..”love and… acceptance”, it’s easy if we choose that road. Great, useful information, easy read and a wonderful reference. I have had this book for 4 years and love to go back for pearls. Read more “Easy to follow guide for any spiritual journey”
Well worth your time and money!
This book is an awesome collection of timeless wisdom that has helped me to gain so much more clarity on what I have chosen to learn through all of the experiences and seasons of my life. After reading and absorbing the valuable insights and information that Michael has shared within… these pages, I am now able to clearly understand the past events of my life and how they correlated to the 7 chakras and my spiritual unfoldment. I had some big “aha” moments while reading this material, and suddenly my life is making a lot more sense. Well worth your time and money! Read more “Well worth your time and money!”
It is an out-picturing of practical suggestions to come to the spiritual path leading to peace and joy in this life
This is the first book of Michael Mirdad’s that I ever purchased. It has been a constant guide for walking and finding fulfillment on the spiritual journey. I am currently enrolled in his on-line course based on this book and can say without a doubt, all his books and courses… are worth it. It is an out-picturing of practical suggestions to come to the spiritual path leading to peace and joy in this life.

Initiations are entry levels of testing the whole.
The book is a great read! I highly recommend all Teachers, pastors and even Masters to read. Humbling and yet satisfying book of containing all basics of the thoughts “why is life so tough?”
Great!!
Complex matter in simple Words. Mirdad is a Magician. A must read for every spiritual seeker. Never read a book like this.
Solid resource to anyone starting on their Spiritual path
This is a really good book. It should be required reading for all teenagers. Here you get a complete look at what initiation is, how cultures viewed initiations, and what types of initiations there are. As you should fathom from the cover this book uses the chakra-initiation model. By that… it associates each of life’s major initiations with one of the subtle body’s chakras. This model is workable for many cases but should not be considered exclusive or the end-all-be-all interpretation for initiations. The book has many appropriate quotes. And overall it can be recommended without reservation. One of the most important points to pay attention to in the book is the distinction given to the healing path vs the spiritual path. Again, like any model it can be useful to look at the life process using these set of abstractions. But again I would say that at the same time the paradox is that the healing path is the same path as the spiritual path. And in truth there is only one path you can tread and that is the path of you becoming more your true self. Don’t get hung up on your path having a particular name. Don’t limit yourself by following the label of any one religion of view point (I’m a this or that). If you can be content identifying yourself as a human being then you can pass through all of life gifts that much easier. Now for those having tread the spiritual path of self-discovery for some time there is something to note about this book. Each of the first four chakra initiations are given their own chapter and average about nine pages each. However the last three chakras are grouped together and each has about 5 pages average. So I do get the feeling that the author punted towards the end of the book. You do not get as much usable information to orient yourself to those chakras. You should also note that orientations such as the Sufis consider the heart to be the most important center. In this book you kinda get the impression that the chakra initiations are like a graduated ladder system and higher is better which is not necessarily the case. Still, even the book is somewhat lacking in it’s end it still has a good finish. This book should be read by everyone starting their spiritual path. If you resonate with this book then you should check out books by the Sufi’s such as Awakening: A Sufi Experience . Read more “Solid resource to anyone starting on their Spiritual path”

The Seven Initiations of the Spirtual Path
Michael’s first book and still one of the best. Easy to read and understand the profound issues addressed. Says precisely what he has been talking about for many years. Reading it was like being in the room with him. Down to earth and to the point. I gave it as… Christmas presents to friends and family and they were all pleased and enjoyed it very much. You will want to go back and read excepts over and over again. Read more “The Seven Initiations of the Spirtual Path”

A beautifully compiled manuscript describing our evolution towards wholeness and bliss!
“The Seven Initiations” radiates an empowering, compassionate message explaining that the challenges we experience on earth are related to
seven major initiations everyone experiences. Dr. Michael Mirdad does a SPECTACULAR job explaining our spiritual evolution as human beings, while at the same time, relating each of life’s initiations to… each of our seven chakras, known as “spiritual centers” in the yogic system. Most importantly, Dr. Mirdad creatively guides the reader through each initiation or “major challenge”—describing how it looks, feels, and the lessons we should expect from each. I loved it! It was easy to read and understand. By the end of the book, I was convinced that every human being could, indeed, experience Heaven on Earth—that peaceful state of being we all long for involving wholeness, Love, and inner freedom. After reading the book, I immediately understood what initiation I was going through, personally, based upon the challenges and experiences in my life at that time. The book gave me something to look forward to and brought more lightness into my life, as I began recognizing that each challenge was part of an initiation—not a problem. An amazing, extraordinary book that can propel one forward on their spiritual path! I would recommend it to anyone.

Michael Mirdad does a wonderful job of gifting us with messages that are applicable to everyday life. He explains the energy body and all the aspects that we need to understand to return to wholeness with a greater connection to God.
Brings Clarity And Peace Of Mind
Michael Mirdad’s book is magnificent and insightful! I found “Seven Initiations Of The Spiritual Path” to be very detailed and effective in the sense it brings clarity and peace of mind to one’s life journey, which is in fact a spiritual path. One’s understanding is deepened with respect to life… experiences in terms of initiations, chakras, and consciousness. Everyone walks their life path in their own way. This is natural since each person is truly unique. Michael Mirdad explains about the relationship between initiations, chakras, consciousness and life experience, how this applies to our own unique life journeys, and how we all share some commonalities in life too. We’re all on a Spiritual Path, whether we’re consciously aware of this or not. And, life experiences are better understood as Spiritual Initiations, of which Michael Mirdad provides the most excellent information I’ve found on this subject in his book “Seven Initiations Of The Spiritual Path.” A must read for anyone who desires a more comprehensive, enhanced, better understanding of their own life journey, and Spirituality in general. Highly recommended! That’s it! Read more “Brings Clarity And Peace Of Mind”
A Higher Perspective
This book will give you insights into your life’s journey and why you experienced the things you did. It takes all of our experiences and puts them into a higher perspective. From there, you can see the path clearly. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about… working on themselves and understanding their lives. Read more “A Higher Perspective”
Enlightening!
I really enjoyed “The Seven Initiations on the Spiritual Path” book! This was the kind of book I couldn’t stop reading and will read again when I need Guidance. I have studied the Chakras and thought I knew, but this book brought deeper meaning to my chakras and who I… am. Michael Mirdad is a Great teacher and I have found that all the information he shares Enlightens! Thank you for sharing with the World! Read more “Enlightening!”
love this book
A must read for everyone searching, seeking and experiencing transformation. Michael answers so many questions…love this book. I had a hard time putting it down.
Life’s Tests Made Easy!
Ahh, The 7 Initiations of the Spiritual Path – “Understanding the Purpose of Life’s Tests” This book took me by the hand and lead me down the “easy” path to understanding what was happening to me as I began my own spiritual initiations. Dr. Mirdad’s style of teaching is so… brilliant yet simple to understand. In plain language, he explains what you will sense, and validates what you maybe are already be feeling and experiencing, through each initiation and chakra opening. Now, when find myself occasionally ego centered and resisting life’s lessons, I know that I am just doing it the “hard way” and can then choose to do it the better “easy way”. A great book for anyone who wants to learn how to smoothly move to a higher level of consciousness with grace and speed. Read more “Life’s Tests Made Easy!”
Wonderful and practical guide for your Spiritual Path
The author describes in this book the diferent stages of the Spiritual path, and the diferent paths people may choose to do their Spiritual work, and how they look in our every day life, which is where most of us are doing our Spiritual work this days!!! I liked it… specially because it acknowledges the fact that there are several paths a person can take to achieve the diferent stages, rather than just acknowledging one path as the right one. I think whoever reads it can recognize where they are at in their own path with the guidance of this book, and can benefit from it. This book irradiates compasion, uncondicional Love, non-judgement and peace!!! I finished reading it, and keep going back to it for guidance.

Good Read
I really enjoyed this book and related so much to what was spoken on the 7 initiations. The points made were Crystal clear. Having read many books related to spirituality I find it difficult to find one that holds my interest anymore. This one did not fail and I breezed… through it in one night. Having traveled this path many years myself I really felt the truth in what was spoken and appreciated the clarity of it. Validation of the journey to remembering. Read more “Good Read”
Balanced Sprituality
I loved this book!!! I have read many books over the last couple of years as I embarked on my own spiritual journey and I found this book to be one of the most balanced and thorough approaches to walking through the stages of healing and spiritul growth. The author… seems to be a master at condensing large volumes of information into simple, concise and poignant concepts. I appreciated the authors approach to correlating the different energy systems in the body to ones spiritual initiations. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for encouragement, motivation or guidance in their journey towards self healing and spirituality. Read more “Balanced Sprituality”
