When We as Adepts have to consider the rate of a meditator’s progression through the Path there are a number of factors we should consider. These would include:
- How long it has been since the meditator’s previous Initiation
- how long they meditated before being Initiated
- How good their Meditation is at present
- How much Meditation they are currently doing
- How long they can sit for
- The quality of their Meditation
- The idea that if they rush they will reduce the number of experiences and lessons
- The idea that if they wait too long they will become complacent and let their meditation drift
- Their enthusiasm to achieve the State
- Their attitude and commitment towards the Path in general
- Their understanding of the Path
- Whether they bring people to the Path
- Whether they act as a Mentor
- Whether they teach
- Whether they wish to become an Initiating Adept
- Whether they have any health issues
- Whether they overly demonstrate ego
- Whether they are obviously selfish and ambitious
Additionally we need to sit back and try and take in the big picture. By that I am referring to the Planet which itself resides within the Solar Logos. The Hierarchy teach us that each Planet and Sun has a consciousness. So we have to factor in the idea that Initiations are a means of elevating not only individuals but the Earth as a whole and the Solar system beyond that!
With all these factors considered we need to look to the Hierarchy and ask, “What is the most important thing that we must consider?”Once we have our primary objective then we can proceed and hopefully demonstrate
Wisdom through Objectivity, Neutrality and our Love of Truth.
When you look at anyone going through a State, it is with the thought – what are they going to do afterwards? You can have a guess and usually you would be right, but you don’t know. This is even people who have been meditating on the Light and Sound for 20 years.
So, we would say, it is better sooner than later, because we are definitely looking at Planetary influences rather than the individual. This is very different than the Human mind would like, but to remind those who make such decisions, you are working for a much Higher Cause now;
An all Enveloping Planetary Cause, not an individual one.
