I enjoyed reading your ramblings because it reminded me what it was like 
(for me) to encounter these ideas initially. Some of your observations 
made me want to comment..

I think that you are underestimating the number of adepts that are currently 
incarnated in our world. Remember, "silence" is one of the four pillars of 
Solomon's Temple. I guarantee you've met more than one, and didn't even 
realize :)

Think about this; while traveling in your mental body, you will meet others 
traveling in their mental body, etc. The path is hardly one traveled 
alone.. there will always be guidance for the one seeking it.
