According to Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, an embodied conscious return and union of the divine spark with the Absolute could be achieved as the divine Ego awakened to itself through the rigors of initiation.

The very practice of Zen is about turning the human mind on itself in order to directly experience the ungraspable, non-intellectual, and present-centered nature of being.
