    Dear Eric,

    >> Self-knowledge is so important, is it only a 1st step to be taken ?(i
    do understand the importance for being able to DO, and self-mastery) <<

    Self is infinite, stretching from the personal to the Divine, so really,
    the whole path of initiation is about Self-knowledge. IIH begins with
    knowledge of the personal/astral self, then moves on to knowledge of the
    Individual/temporal-mental Self, then to the Greater/eternal-mental
    Self, and on to the Divine Self.

    >> What is the relation between self mastery and Union with the divine?
    is it to allow a proper "descent" of that particular power?, as a well
    tuned instrument in a middle of an orcherstra? <<

    Self-mastery is the process of taking what was formerly un-conscious and
    making it into a conscious thing. This is absolutely necessary for the
    advancement of Self-knowledge since the known Self must be expressed
    with conscious intention. It, as you put it, is what that tunes the
    instrument so that it can play its part in the orchestra.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
