You definitely see this in the history of the first nondual teachers in this country. They at first would teach from a radical, nondual POV and transmit that state of presence simply through their own presence. A few got it. Most did not. And thereafter they developed graduated paths geared towards where different students were. -----Actually there is no connection between graduated and sudden paths just as there is no connection between a tiger and lion beyond genre. Most graduated paths are totally against the newbie. That is, one must go through all the previous motions just as the acolytes in "Tommy." Because nobody like the prodigal child, everybody must pay. You will only get sudden liberation from those few who were raised in that path. Just as you will only get concise help from an expert in their own field.
