I agree we must grow and learn to rise to the spiritual levels but I
have never expected to be contacted by the Great Ones you refer to.
There are many levels below them of high chelas and adepts who are
much wiser than the like of myself so I can feel quite comfortable
with the idea that I may be dealing with the energy of a wise teacher
who can operate on higher levels than the conscious material one. Some
of the communications I have had would seem to indicate that this is
the case.=20
I have studied much of the occult theosophical literature over the
years and am aware of the difference between psychism and the
spiritual. I think that at the level I find myself at, that psychism
of a spiritual tendency exists and are the latent powers that the 3
objects encourage the study of. I feel that much depends on the reason
one wants to explore this area. There may be many who get hooked on
the superficial glamour but that is not for me to say as only they
know what motivates them and I know what motivates me. The right and
left paths are such because of the motivating force of the soul using
their occult powers in either direction.=20
It is a sticky subject and one that can lead to much dissension which
I prefer to keep out of.
