Psychic experiences - the danger when we have not yet achieved self-mastery

05/06/2010

Even though there are all kinds of writings encouraging the public to embark upon psychic experiences, do not do so. Do not try to make contact with the beyond until you have acquired mastery over your thoughts and desires. That is the only kind of mastery that can make you strong and protect you from danger. For you should know this: the risks you run in the psychic world are as numerous and formidable as those of the physical world, if not more so. If you are neither informed nor practised, you will be vulnerable, and your only recourse will be to search around for someone to free you from your anxieties and your obsessions. So many people who claim to be on a spiritual path end up being the victims of entities and forces they have unwisely provoked! They feel they are being pursued by monsters, they experience all the torments of hell, and of course they don't know how this could have happened to them. And yet it's simple: through seeking to enter the astral world out of curiosity, an attraction for the fantastic or a desire to acquire powers, they have attracted entities that really make their life hell. For that is what hell is - the lower astral world.
