Magister Templi vs. Bodhisattva
-
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
Although I fail at the moment to recollect where I read it (apologies), I feel like I read somewhere that the "Babe of the Abyss" transition could be equated to the the bhūmis of the Bodhisattva. I don't know if this means, in certain ways that there is a relationship with the ordeals of the Abyss with the bhūmis, or if it means that if you succeed in the Ordeal of the Abyss, and are,* "received and reconstructed in the Third Order, as a Babe in the womb of our Lady BABALON, under the Night of Pan" *(Liber CDLXXXIX, One Star in Sight), that you would be as a Bodhisattva who has completed the bhūmis,attains complete enlightenment and becomes a Buddha?

You're in the right part of the Tree, roughly. Historically, though it has not been a requirement of the grade, it has been unusually common for an Adeptus Exemptus to take the bodhisattva vow.

No, that's too high for it. It's specifically a below-the-Abyss step. The single most observable effect is that the Adept begins thereafter to reincarnate continuously, rather than take rest between incarnations.
