Hi!
Well, like when any role like this comes out, they are happy to see faces. However, rather than immediately accepting the volunteer, usually they take several courses of action and consideration:
1) observing the volunteer to see if they have already taken initiative as a lightworker, or, if they are not a lightworker, what they are doing that might reflect the tasks of a keeper of the light so they don't have to go through too many rapid changes in order to take on the task. This also tests to see how open we are to having even complete strangers being able to see exactly who/what we are and what we are there for. As the lanterns are of a certain light, they will attract beings that do need help or are looking for it, meaning our inner flame will be able to be seen by them (bit only seen into at the extent we allow.) So others above that point won't be able to sense it, although their spirit knows it exists (it's just not needed to them so they don't have the conscious mind pick up on it unless they have developed that skill)
2) talking with your higher self to see if you're ready for the kind of growth you are put into by them. (They go about and organize things to help you along your path to opening up and reaching out. When I had mine, at the time I practically had a shield around me. Since, I have been through many challenges and now am quite literally an open book, meaning any spirit who wished to could see all the way down into my core, making me sometimes appear fragile to others, but beyond worth it. I've moved on to the next position beyond a keeper of the light, called a heart mirror.
3) making sure you can follow orders. My test for this was actually while I was doing a funeral for a crab who seagulls had dropped and left ripped apart. Suddenly, without introduction, a member of the council who I had only briefly spoken with to request becoming a keeper of the light, spoke into my mind, began giving me directions. As I was doing this my sister came along and I did not pause for her, but told her to help by following the orders or by leaving me be. Both of us were directed in and out of areas, doing a ceremony we had never seen, me getting messages, directed in and out of the water, etc, until the end of the task, where we had the crab between a few rocks we had been directed to hold certain ways, etc, and we both blew on the rocks and crab, and suddenly we heard a popping sound and he was back to life and fully healed, this being a gift to witness in return for following orders.
4) normally it isn't a "Now you're a keeper of the light!" type thing, unless you ask them to know if you were accepted. Generally, if you want to be one, then your life is oriented in that direction, so they make some tweaks but it's all on your free will. You have to take initiative, because they give you the tools and trust you to define your job through your actions. If we walk around in circles wandering what to do, the higher self has to decide when to teach you to take action into your own hands or how to, based on the person, but that makes it sound like someone else is teaching us- but no, it's not. It's completely free will and choosing to step up to the plate. They can throw what they want at us, but they can't force us to learn anything or choose any path, etc. As you know, we have the flame as well as can see others flames. But we have to actually take a look. They aren't going to tell us or direct us, there's a reason why there are so few. We have to take initiative and the leadership role of doing what we can do with what we have. We have to work on ourselves, so we can help others better. We are no hero, no villain, no superhuman, we are infinite and express ourselves as we choose. In my eyes, we are the ones who carve the path for others to walk more easily, the traveler who found the exit of the desert and returned to help those trying to find there way.
Leaders, not as in those who march in front of us but those who stand next to us and take our hand, those unafraid to reveal their full self to others, who listen to those they are guiding, and to guide only when the other is ready and wants a hand.
But this is my opinion. Other keepers of the light see things differently in their experience, and as they develop, fill in other roles that make use of those skills, just as I am a heart mirror now, but still hold my lantern. I designed my path along with my higher self to continue my development while integrating this position into my life. Another major part of where you go is integrating all of your passions and love into your life and work.
If you want help with this, I have a set of questions in an email that will help you figure this all out. I'd also recommend reading The Passion Test, by Janet and Chris (google it, you can get it off Amazon for a penny+shipping if you're interested. These two are the ones who helped finance Rhonda Bryne, who wrote The Secret among other writers) which will help you figure out your life path you want to travel.
If you have any more questions let me know :)
Love& light
