"What "qualifications", so to say, are needed before finding the Law of One?"
Interesting question! My guess would be a will to seek. A lot of people don't direct their conscious attention inward towards the self. They direct it outwards and try to put together an image of themselves based on society's feedback.
If a person's conscious attention is directed inwards with, as Ra would say, a distortion towards seeking, they will most likely bring about a series of events that would lead them to the material (as is probably the case with all of us here). I don't think it's so much of an imposed "qualification" as in, one person is qualified to find it and another isn't. I think it's a self-given qualification of the self by the self to find the self. Haha is that enough "selfs" in one sentence? In other words, you give yourself a permission slip (to use Bashar's terms) to be able to access greater tools of self-discovery.
As far as penetrating the forgetting process: Interpreting the material is one thing. Due to its depth, it can take a while to understand it, or for it to sink in. But I think that in order to apply Law of One concepts to your life, you have to have come a sufficient distance in your spiritual path that you have "penetrated the forgetting process" to a significant extent. For example, someone who's conscious attention is directed inwards with a will towards seeking but still relies somewhat heavily on an ego to interpret reality, or is still caught up in the illusion, will have problems applying Law of One concepts to their lifestyle.
P.S. I have used the word "illusion" to describe the many-faceted global society we have all created together. I think I prefer Unity100's term of "societal mind" to describe that concept, as it hits the point more directly. "Illusion" can then be freed up to define the physical layer of reality.
Thank you for allowing me to share!
