Purity - essential to the practice of gifts and psychic powers

06/13/2010

Too many people launch into the practice of esotericism and occultism without having sought to purify their inner world, their thoughts and their feelings. And so they merely flounder in the lower layers of the astral plane and will never know the reality of the spiritual world. Even if, as is sometimes the case, they do possess true psychic gifts and powers, they need to know that this is not enough. For the psychic world is not the spiritual world, and it is not enough to have a psychic gift; you have to use it properly. The most gifted musicians and painters achieve nothing if they don't submit to a discipline, if they don't study under a master. An artistic gift has to be developed; the same goes for psychic gifts such as clairvoyance, mediumship and healing powers. To develop them, you have to work on the only quality that allows you to see things clearly and to exert a helpful influence; that quality is purity. And in this context, purity means not only being lucid but also being honest, disinterested and aware of your responsibilities.
