    Ok. I've been working on the Bornless Ritual as noted in my previous posts.
    Earlier, I began to be unable to distinguish between myself, my will and the Bornless One in ritual. In other words, when I invoked the Bornless One, I (my sense of self/ego) and the Bornless One where the same thing. At first I was disturbed by this but then I started thinking funny like responding to a linear question with a cyclic time. This became euphoric and I started entertaining myself by reflecting on all sorts of stuff and came back with unusual cyclical time based answers as opposed to linear ones - for twenty four hours, *everything made sense. *
    Then I did another Bornless Ritual and suddenly the Bornless One was distinguishable from my sense of ego/self again. It's remained that way.. three more Bornless Rituals later.
    The Bornless One now feels a little ..different.. than the one I was invoking all these days prior, a little more distinct than I recall. The funny thing is that although I am not one with the Bornless One, I still have a sense of wonder which seems to let be a little detached from physical and social encounters. So I guess I got something out of it. I think the same event occurred on a more subtle scale last week ... all that being said I think that perhaps I did merge with the Bornless One I was originally invoking and the one I am invoking now is a Higher version of the Bornless One (particular to my microcosm).
    Is there a scale of the Bornless One? (like a ladder that goes higher and higher as you go along?)
    So my question is to those of you who have worked with the Bornless Ritual, is success at the Bornless Ritual a
    One Time Event or is it a series of little unions which have a cumulative effect?
    This questions could be rephrased as : Are the results sought in the Bornless Ritual a one time event or a gradual unfolding?
    A separate question(maybe not) is the K&C a one time event or is it a series of events that in total are called K&C?

    That would be a short conversation. 🍸

    I've read in many places that the K&C itself is a single event, but that it launches the career of Adepthood, which continues until the Abyss is crossed, in this life or another one. The goal, then, appears to be to achieve one-time event that inaugurates a process, or so I've read.

    I wonder, what do we call those precious moments where we temporarily encounter the HGA but are not K&C?
    Then again, maybe we cannot contact the HGA until K&C and any previous encounters with the HGA we think we may had were really not.

    I recently found this video quite informative. It helps to place everything in perspective.

    It's 3 minutes of Bill Heidrick talking about Jack Parsons and the Oath of the Abyss. The goal is stated so clearly that it helps to mentally organize the developmental stages that necessarily lead up to it. That's how I found it helpful at least. Perhaps it will help to answer some of your questions.
