Eldon: I hope this won't be bad for your heart (grin), but you have just
given a definition of Adepts that almost matches my own. Almost word for
word, in fact! The only addition I can make is that one can easily identify
them by way of the fact that their lives have an important effect on the
lives of all who come in contact with them, and they definitely make the
world a visibly better (or at least different) place. That's why we must
include people like Nelson Mandela and Stephen Hawking. They simply do not
"materialize" or "walk through walls" as in the Besant-Leadbeater model. I
think a good definition is that they are advanced humans who act as
spiritual and social catalysts to effect change.
St. Germaine, who everyone admits was an adept was an agent of revolutionary
change, so it's not all "sweetness and light"
