What is an adept?

[EvolvingPhoenix]

an adept is one who has mastered the art of discipline.

nothing is random or haphazard any more; all thoughts have intent and consequence.  Nothing passes un-noticed.  All triggers are seen for what they are.

Jeremy mentioned elsewhere the Art of Beingness.

this is getting close to it, but not quite.

there is also one more stage beyond the adept.  You are approaching formlessness at that stage; a place of infinite ongoing creativity.

by the stage of the adept you are living just as much in time/space on a daily basis as you are present in space/time.  Such a person is an ongoing bridge between the two worlds.  

the adept is also one of immense power ... but it is power that was not sought.  The power comes from being called to a Higher Duty, and the psychism, spiritual sight, and font of inspiration is a uniform that comes with the job description.  The adept seeks not power (it was not asked for) but instead seeks to serve, and through that very desire for service, the tools of service are granted to one automatically, so the service may be enabled and performed for the other.

only a blocked individual at orange ray seeks magical power.  Magical Power comes naturally to an adept without any ritual or invocation.  

seek to serve at the highest level, and all the tools (and some tools undreamt of) will become activated as you accept the higher levels of responsibility.

Brilliant. You just REALLY helped me out in my magical seeking by illuminating this! Thank you!
