Ritual is designed to create a configuration, and thus repetition is meant to create memory of the configuration. In any such case there would be a gradual process whereby the individual would less and less need such a long reminder as a ritual and eventually it becomes an instant feeling.
It is obvious that over time the procedures of the ritual will become more easily performed and remembered by the practitioner. If you are saying that once the practitioner reaches such skill that there is no longer a need for the ritual, you are also suggesting that the only reason for the ritual in the first place was to bring the adept to such skill where the connection could be made from memory.
And you say that this is to bring the adept to the required vibration for the connection, and that the higher field was never in any need of it.
So in your thinking, let's consider the affect of rituals which involve the harmonic alterations of ten people, or a hundred, or an entire village?
What about ritual that is meant to enchant rather than connect to higher fields?
What you are speaking to Azrael, is a specific ritual concerning the connection between an adept and a higher field of consciousness.
In your mind you would make such a connection by the request of the higher field, following the requested specifications, not out of respect or honor, but out of desire to master the skill at which point you would then dictate to the higher field that you no longer require such ritual to connect with it.
May I ask you, at this point, would you ask the higher field for such consideration of the connection, or would you simply attempt to make the connection without the usual procedures?
Do you see my point here?
What you are talking about is establishing authority and imposing your skill where it may or may not be wanted or respected in such deliverance. Can we really connect to a higher field if that field does not want to connect with us?
It is not a matter of whether or not the higher field is able, or if the adept is able. It is a matter of courtesy offered by each in recognition and adoration of the Sacred Eye, regardless of skill or evolved status.
Many rituals come to humankind from The Ancients and were established, not as a means of connection, but as a means of enchantment, for the purpose of healing and/or nurturing a population and/or environment. In such cases the skill of the priests performing the ritual, and their ability to memorize the ritual, is not the goal, and to intrude upon the goal out of an arrogant pride of authority or developed skill, would not be in the appropriate frame of mind for the true intent.
It is here that we find the correction to your thinking.
Intent!
All true adepts will understand that intent is the true key to effective ritual. And in that intent there should not be the distraction of pride and authority. If true intent is the focus, the goal will be achieved. If the intent is distilled by the desires of the priest for their own development, such will never achieve the degree of intent that would be the hallmark of the true adept.
Intent, whether to invoke, or to enchant, involves the complete and intense focus of the adept toward the achieving of the goal. When that focus is interrupted/polluted with distraction of other desire, the proper vibrations will not be achieved.
One can demand that someone come to them, and such might come for some reason, but it will not be in the same vibration as one who is asked to come.
And THAT is the difference between enchantment and disenchantment.
Believe me, I know!

That being said, two individuals could connect to the same intelligence with one needing a ritual and the other not, because both would be accessing the same field from a different lens or perspective of consciousness.
Yes, and what do you suppose is the reason why one would require the ritual, while another would not?
Do you believe that an adept is the master of the ritual, and success is due to their own skill? How then, is the lesser adept able to also make the connection if he is less skilled?
Therefore your very premise denies that it is the skill of performing the ritual that creates the connection.
The connection between higher and lower fields of consciousness involves much more than mere ritual or the skill of its practitioners.
The Sacred Eye is the Process of Being, which is the natural progression/revelation of the Divine Design. The establishing of the Sacred Eye is as natural as breathing.
It does not involve any more skill than breathing does.
It is this truth which the true adepts come to realize, which enables them to become powerful conduits of natural energies.
Consider the words of Yadda where identity and resulting pride is regarded,
"We say to you, you are not anything like you think you are. You are not what you do. You are not nine o’clock, ten o’clock, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock. You must remove from yourself ideas this kind. Not help you. There is intense seeking in this group to know who you are. Remove from yourself all your clothing, your name, your nationality, your society, your neighborhood, your wife, your kiddies and your golf cart—all gone. Now who are you? We are not taking away from you, we wait for you to add to yourself the Creator.
You have heard of the masters. Do you think people become masters because they do not know who they are?" UNQUOTE
To presume that such power is the achievement of the skill of the adept is akin to suggesting that the moon is held in its orbit by such skill. It is not; it is the natural energies of the Divine Design at work. The adept simply learns how to channel them.
And it is here that we come to understand the true intent of The Ancients and The Ascended Ones. They intend that we learn what they have to teach us, not for the purpose of being acknowledged as adepts, but so that humanity might benefit from that knowledge and wisdom.
It is when such teaching becomes twisted to manipulate for the purpose of greed that humanity suffers as a whole. And this is what we see all around the earth to this day.
And this is why so many struggle to balance that disharmony with the harmonic frequencies of enchantment, seeking the advice of the Ascended Ones in order to acquire information to that benefit.
Much of that information is stored in fields of consciousness which can be accessed through the Sacred Eye, and much is also hidden, for the sake of uncorrupted preservation, within the writings, symbols, rituals and legends of culture around the world.
This is what the Ancients have been trying to tell us for thousands of years.
