It is a step of immense significance to the personality of him who asks, for it is the first move consciously taken in any incarnation away from the personal, leading towards the life impersonal. Implicit in that asking are the conditions under which such help may be had. Experience has proven that all do understand, and that all eagerly, earnestly and full-heartedly do take the true position at the moment of arousal when the definite engagement is inwardly signed and sealed. The portal that faceth thee is high and wide, seems easy of access. The goal, being universal, cannot possibly exclude the traveller himself from the possession and enjoyment of power and knowledge.
Nothing is or is to be left out, and no one.
Far from separating the traveller from any of his Brother-Souls, it joins him to them. Far from shutting him out from any department of Nature, the journey makes him one with Nature herself, since all must be contacted, understood, used, assimilated. The glorious garment of Adeptship is being spun and woven. The threads that make its warp and woof are of every shade and every color. The path, plan, method, modulus are all natural in the simple and straightforward moving on.
