Unorthodox, one pointed approaches
-
Do you have examples, stories, of people who reached adepthood or more by using an unorthodox, single, one pointed approach of yoga or magick, for instance only singing mantra or only flying astrally all day long everyday for years until BOOM ?!
What potential ordeals or challenges could such an adept be prone to face(related to this specific approach)? For instance if the guy is an adept thanks to singing or flying only, well if he wants to balance the skills he will have to learn a lot of philosophy, alchemy and stuff, but starting from adepthood such practices must be very different than starting with no or low connection to the upper forces.
If there were a magick button to press which instatly grants adepthood, would it be potentially good to press it and then learn all the stuff from there, or just go the normal way, learning all things balanced from the start?

For the basis of the Pyramid to be solid, you would have to "learn all things balanced" (as you put it) either way.
The Cross has to be balanced so the Rose can blossom in its center, and in the case of "magick button" I think it's actually an accumulation of concentrated effort through incarnations, rather than something of a "wormhole"-shortcut phenomena.

I do not know about zipping about astrally...
In the case of the mantra, while one may "only practice that,"
Even so it would entail going through the various stages of yoga
As to place ones entire focus upon it would first entail
Mastering asana, then pranayama, etch...
With eventual SamadhiThough, to take a real world example:
The Hare Krishna devotees
In my experience, while good people
Are a little "unbalanced" from focusing on only a mantra -

I would like to believe that Jimmy page reached adept hood by serving his Muse......
As for the button pushing....
If something isnt earned then it isn't valued and cannot serve a purpose.
