These are the five planetary initiations which free us from further incarnational experience on this Earth. All of the Masters have taken these five initiations (some have taken further, higher initiations), and Their presence in this world is the result of a conscious decision to serve the Plan of Evolution and not from any need, through personal karma, to incarnate.
