I had also attested this, for example with my Tarot study. You can ask @Kristina, she’s been studying with me. We had first started off studying the Tarot keys using the information in Book 4 of the Ra Material. This was good until we got to 8-22. There is very little information on those archetypes in the Ra Material. So I started studying Tarot under the Qabalah. I felt that we were confusing our study by trying to study two different sets of images, so I committed to the Hermetic Qabalah. I use the teachings of the BOTA, Paul Foster Case, and the HOLY Tree of Life to study Tarot and the results are fantastic. I am getting a deeper understanding of these archetypal concepts.
Trust me I did not want to let go of the studying Book 4 of the Ra Material. I resisted it for a long time, but now that I have finally committed, I can see the wisdom in that choice. You are focusing your seeking by committing to one path. “A jack of all trades is master of none.”
We need to learn and master one system, then we can work with other systems. Ra also tells us that we must commit to one system of archetypal study for real progress to be made. I have heard this repeated from wise spiritual teachers.
BTW: the FULL saying is "Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one."
