In our culture, unlike, say Tibet, we talk about faith, which has been sarcastically described as belief as a belief in things one knows to be untrue. Direct experience – gnosis – is discouraged from every corner. This is true for the Jew, the Christian, and the Atheist alike.
If you don’t believe this, we suggest you take a close look at the hysterical, almost panic-striken way in which Psychic Research has been attacked by all of the above groups for strangely similar reasons, no matter how convincing the evidence or distinguished the researchers. A person who breaks the limits imposed on him by the world at large is a very disturbing phenomenon. He doesn’t respect authority and he makes a lousy servant.

Since ‘heretic’ is no longer fashionable (and we use that word deliberately), ‘mentally ill’ is the term that has replaced it, meaning esentially the same thing or worse. There are many health care professionals in this country who consider the claims of having a psychic experience grounds for drug therapy.

Recently I read an article by a Latino mental health expert who believes Santeria fosters a dependency upon the Santero and that this is ‘bad’. This assertion boarders on ridiculous since every competent Santero provides his client with self-treatment remedies to strengthen the client’s spiritual protection. Did the ‘mental health expert’ ever question what his profession fosters? Not just dependency upon the therapist, but dependency upon the consensus as well.

…in the Universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person’s soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of self-guided observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man’s unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.
