I was listening to Sephirah Shamanism again and this time I rolled my eyes. The dude is smart, but this time he was speaking about what to do after you finish Qliphoth initiation. I think that he listed the path to be this: first you initiate into qliphoth, then Lovecraft Necronomicon, then tunnels of Seth, then Zodiac, then...

...seriously?! Look, I cannot say that it is wrong path, it is a path, but then I find it hard to even call it initiations. This looks rather like walking the path of exploration through the system after system. To me initiation is like introduction, gaining ability and access to a current. But that is just introduction... which should lead towards further exploring of that current, seeking ever deepening of understanding and mastery of it.

Initiation in my opinion is getting you into level 1 in the system. Going through various initiations leads you to get level lone here, level lone there, level one over there, but one, one, one and one will never get level four. Skill is not like math.

So my question is, how many systems do you think is enough to become initiated into? I get that it is definitely very personal, but I do not think that anyone can keep consistent development of more that few systems at best.
