Method used by Initiates - acquiring an overview of the whole
Specialization is useful, even necessary, but it is not a good idea to specialize before having a view of the whole picture. If you begin by exploring a small piece of ground, your reasoning and classification of things will be flawed, because you know nothing about the whole area to which it belongs. Whereas, if you have acquired a general overview, you can then concentrate on one particular spot without any risk of error. Life is too short for us to study every field in detail, which is why the Initiates’ method entails first considering the whole. This at least provides an accurate overview of things even if it lacks precise details. Then, if they decide to concentrate on a subject, they can do so in far greater depth than a specialist who has no notion of the whole. The knowledge Initiates have of the whole, of oneness, enlightens them about this tiny, isolated particle, and allows them to see exactly where it fits into the scheme of things.*
