What is an adept?

lol Aion

there makes me think of  this buddhist's story too :
Under a tree was a master sitting and a monk comes to him and says " Master, how many incarnations do I have till enlightenment ?"  and the master answers,  " 3. "  and the monk walks away, and he is like " oh my, three more, three more ! "  Then appears this young monk who comes to the tree, and he says " Master, how many more incarnations do I have ?"  and the master says " 125."  and the young monk starts to ascend the path and he is like " Yes, yes !!  125 more ! wonderful !! "  and when he gets on top of the path, he gets enlightened.

State of mind and state of consciousness are highly intertwined, I think that is one of the 'secrets' Siddhartha discovered.
