Dear Dallas,

Thank you for your response.  I understand your point of view, and I am not
saying that your ways are wrong.  I only want to point out the subtle
dangers that lurk everywhere, ready to lead all enthusiastics into narrow
paths which imprison their spirit.
All good work evokes opposition.  All great servers of mankind have to
fight a great opposition.  The same applies to all of us, the moment we
step out of the general mass thoughtform, and take a stand for the higher
values and make some effort to create a new form of a higher quality, we
have to fight opposition and we have to be especially aware of the unique
dangers that are waiting for us.
To be able to avoid these dangers, broadminded attitude is imperative.  The
dark forces (for that is what it is) make use of all our weaknesses, and
their ways are cunning.  They play upon our vanity, pride and selfishness.
For the more advanced their ways are more subtle, but their aim is to make
the man useless by leading him into useless activities, letting him forget
his real task by clouding his vision with the dust of glamour and illusion.

Lets keep our alertness and higher tension.

Yours sincerely,
Sigtryggur.
