Progress, very generally, often follows a jagged curve. Moving from a plateau of competence forwards, may mean falling into a ravine of challenge before being able to climb upwards again and reach a new plateau of competence. Especially when considering paradigm changes. A time of being worse off in the new skill set used tends to happen whenever anyone who is skilled at anything changes the basic approach taken, in order to become able to take it to a new level.
Well, that's a very general insight I read from a book by systems thinker Gerald Weinberg (who does not write about spirituality specifically).

There are many types of master. One type for each thing which can be mastered. Removing specializations such as "hermetic master" from the picture, it basically just means "really good or accomplished at X", whatever X happens to be. There's also various other masterful mass-murderers in history, though their area of expertise is not something I have any practical interest in. Anyway, this kind of stuff can all be considered in a more detached way and without sending any invitations for Orion STS to eat you, as you wrote about.

Do keep in mind that higher-density food is not the same as anything you can physically touch, hold, or ingest. Completely different categories of "substance", realms in which substances exist, etc.
