Re: Asking the akasha for permission

["Martin <martincosgrove@...>" <martincosgrove@...>]

Thanks a lot for explaining that, Rawn, I think I understand the 
concept... the closer one gets to 'deity', the less need there is 
for asking, because we are in fact merging and as a result are 
automatically party to the information of the Akasha without having 
to ask for it. Is that correct?

Also, can one be considered to be an initiate after having 
successfully completed the course of study laid out in IIH? I'm 
sorry is many of my questions seem naive; thi sis all new to me and 
I've always been a great believer in asking questions in order to 
probe a new subject.

Thanks again,

Martin
