Cadcam Posted Monday at 06:48 AM If you've impressed the Divine by representing some trait or trade, you can be an Adept exempt and get welcomed into the higher planes. Perhaps, even the new world. If you're a magician of your own design, you can be welcomed in and taken across without true study. If you're an Adept of an order, one can cross the abyss and work for the actual order of Adept. In very special cases, one can go into the abyss for a quest, and when finished, they will take you on board the ship and ferry you across. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZYD Well, not really , I am sure you know a LOT more about it than that summary ? For example , it didnt seem to exist in any thing like a solid form until Felkin ... and I am wondering how much influence Steiner had upon it ? * It seems a GD version of an R+C ritual ( with a 'female officer' - which could be associated with the idea of the Zoroastrian 'Daena ' ? .. and of course , in the GD ToL context - with the typical path and sephiroth 'connections' . 'Shekinah' ) Whereas similar 'level' ( R+C associated ) initiation ritual in OTO seems to have come through Scottish rite FM ( 18th deg ) via people like Yarker . ... where there is also a similar female officer . But the GD version came first , I think, and , as they did, broke a long tradition of 'men only' for this rite . * Felkin travelled around trying to find lost ritual or sources , perhaps collating the ritual from several of them , he visited Steiner a fair bit .... Steiner seems to have had some knowledge in that area , aside from the Theosophical overlays ..... there are many hints and 'between the lines' in his ' Theosophy of the Rosicrucian ' to suggest he had more than 'academic experience' with it . https://rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA099/English/RSP1966/TheRos_index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
