Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt01592)

I was sure this was part of my posting, however, if not, HPB states categorically"Neither Pythagoras, Plator, nor any of the later more important Neo-platonists were ever mediums; for in such case they would not have been admitted to the Mysteries at all.  .....shows that apart from natural "mediumship"** there has existed, from the beginning of time, a mysterious science, discussed by many, but known only to a few.

*  Between the two is placed natural "mediumship", a soul clothed with imperfect matter, a ready agent for either the one or the other, and utterly dependent on its surroundings of life, constitutional heredity - physical as well as mental - and on the nature of the "spirits" it attracts around itself.  A blessing or a curse, as fate will have it, unless the medium is purified of earthly dross.

This to me states that our bodies, physical, emotional and mental must be fully under our control, and when this is the case, when our sol is clothed in perfect matter, we become masters and not servants of those attracting spirits.  However, I could be totally incorrect in this assumption, but it is how, I read it.

Please don't get me wrong, I adored the old Sage as HPB says and seeing Plato agreed to become his pupil, he is no slouch and I am sure destined for much greater things.
