Our kind has ways of recognizing its own. Often this
recognition occurs on an unspoken level and is very subtle, so you
must learn to trust your impulses and allow your greater Self to
guide you.
Especially in the unawakened, this recognition manifests itself
as a Beacon which calls us to them so that they may realize their
Potential. The Beacon calls to us on a very basic level, and often
speaks purely to our unconscious minds. Thus we find ourselves
inexplicably attracted to a Potential, stricken with a sudden
fascination for him and a need to draw him closer to us. If we
listen to our perceptions and trust our instinctual reactions, we
can refine this awareness of others until we can consciously pick
out the Beacon in those around us. Sometimes, even after such a
refinement has been achieved, the Beacon still slips past our
conscious actions and we find ourselves simply responding to its
unspoken pull. The pull of the Beacon drives us to feed from the
Potential, thus awakening him to the most basic aspect of his
hidden nature.
We must learn to recognize the Beacon in others, to judge its
varying degrees of strength so that we may go about the awakening
in a deliberate manner. We must learn to recognize when it is
appropriate to awaken a Potential and when that awakening will
bring only grief to all involved.
We must let our judgment rule us in this matter and we must
sometimes resist the merely instinctual pull of the Beacon for
awakenings that are not appropriate. Not all of those with
Potential are fit for the awakening, and if we act rashly we may
unwittingly loose the beast of our destruction through a careless
move.
