Here's another thought.
Seems to me that it's quite possible to "do work in" the Indigo Ray without being adept. The difference is smooth energy flow, clarity about the context and a clear sense of self and purpose. This can happen, for example, in dreams, psychotropic drug experiences or as a result of doing severe austerity practices.
Seems to me that this accounts for the variety of energetic setups a person might have when they encounter that state (blue activated or green activated, etc.)
The material seems to argue in favor of reaching these states through disciplining the personality.
Here's a quote from the session Peregrinus refers to in above post #2.
Quo Wrote:The preeminent position of attitude is such that, by attitude alone, the entity who dwells in faith and lives fearlessly and in an atmosphere of thanksgiving and gratitude has, by that simple token, entered the gateway of intelligent infinity.
Here's another recommendation from the same session:
Quo Wrote:Lift up the heart. Lift up the eyes. Lift up the hands. And lift up the voice in singing and praise and thanksgiving and in joy. The opportunity to express and bear witness at a time of such powerful illusion and seemingly unlimited potential is a wonder.
Nice quotes Peregrine....my heart lies along those lines also.
Or one can throw themselves to the whims of the Infinite. Q'uo said....
What is your will for me today?
How shall I serve?
What shall I experience?
And in what shall I rejoice?
I start each day with that quote and begin my daily muddle through third. Trying to do and be the best I can. Sometimes I backslide...sometimes I do well. But I don't worry about it. When I realize that I may have not reacted well to a certain situation...I think..."How could I have handled that better?"...and go on with life.
I'll leave the active pursuit of adepthood to those that desire it. I'll seek the intelligent infinity in life in 3D...for now.
