Not dead. just exoteric.

Yes, but the "bad" and "false" and "ugly" lie waiting for us to return.
So that part "lives" on as well.

Of source it is discrimination, and this implies liking and preference.
Whenever anyone says that this is true while that is false, they are
subjectively discriminating; picking and choosing. One would hope
that Adepts could do this better than us ordinary folks, but it is
still picking and choosing nonetheless. And it is very obvious
from studying occult texts that different schools pick and choose
different flowers to string together.
