Here is a quote of my favorite author in my favorite magic book...
"Know O disciple! that those who have passed through the silence, and felt it's peace, and retained it's strength, they long that you shall pass through it also.
Therfore, in the Hall of Learning, when he is capable of entering there, the disciple will always find his master." ~ Light on the Path
It means that when we are ready...Spirit will always lead us to the next part, the next teacher or the next book. :)
The book is called "Ramacharaka - 14 Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism" and is by Yoga Ramacharaka (dead now for over a hundred years)...
The only part of the book I was not in accord with was when he talked about witches because he obviously had never meet or knew any real witches and was relying on Christian teachings about what a witch does. Some of his teachings do lean towards Christianity in some levels...(he loves the teachings of Christ which I also love as they are true gems of knowlege) (did you know there is a hidden "book" in the bible to be found by only reading the words attributed to Jesus? The King James version makes it easier to find as they are written in red. For me and my students..I tell them to forget the rest of the bible and only read the teachings of Christ..)
However, Ramacharaka's treatment of the inner-planes and how our spiritual gifts and powers work is the most accurate I have ever found. I know they are accurate because I had already experienced a lot of the things he wrote about before I was ever led to the book.
You can read it on line now for free if you google it... or use this link
