me feel like a worm. He criticized my obsession to perfect the practice of Kriya.
He explained that the very desire to master a meditation technique meant
cultivating desire and this was against Buddhist principles.
The belief that the power (Baraka) of the great Teachers of the past, is still
present in their descendants, as a non-stop chain is common enough. He was
convinced that the spiritual progress cannot happen except through receiving this
"power". In his life he was destined to went on receiving Kriya from those who
claimed to have a valid lineage although their teachings didn't add nothing to
what he already knew. He was spellbound by the idea of "transmission of
power." He believed that the power received through initiation had in itself the
power of redemption.
He gave not so much importance to be serious in the practice of the Kriya
techniques he said they were just to purify oneself before receiving the real
''initiation'' which for him meant ''power.'' What I never understood of him was
that now and then he went to assist to the liturgical practices of a Catholic church
only ''as a bland form of exorcism.''
Unfortunately, he went on paying attention to the revelations coming from
a healer (a channeler 13 ) to whom he went in order that the spirits reveal to him

Classical spiritualism - characterized by a person (medium) who enters a trance state at a desk,
answers the questions put by the bystanders through a code of loud raps - has handed over its place to
more modern methods such as those where all the participants, putting their hands on an upside-down
glass to move it among the letters of the alphabet stamped on a comfortable flexible tablet (Ouija
board). Many prefer the more accessible revelations of a channeler who lets the invoked entity
express through the flood of his own eloquence. It is interesting to see how the channeler's
biographies trace a common scheme. All tell that once they were skeptic of their own faculties and
would not accept yielding to the higher Will who had decided to entrust to them the mission to serve
as medium between spirits and humanity. Once their mission was accepted, from the same ultra
mundane source came the inspiration to mix the flow of the various revelations with the diagnosis of
unlikely illnesses, with prescription of expensive alternative remedies.

the karmic reason of a light illness that in my opinion, could be cured easily
following the usual dietary rules. Later he met a group of people who practiced
spiritualism and had Kardec as occult teacher.
I attended a couple of times their meetings. The lifestyle reigning in that gloomy
environment had the characteristics of a cult even if they disguised as a catholic
group of prayer. My friend created a strong bond with that group; unfortunately
that farce cost him dearly. He plunged into situations of such a narrow vision that
his behavior appeared grotesque. It was a revelation for me to witness his mental
fragility. Very often, from behind the mask of a self-confident appearance, a frail
personality allowed others to defraud him in the worst of the ways. His original
desire to find a channel that put him in direct contact with the power and
blessings of ancient masters ended in the worst of all prisons. He gave all his
possessions, and the totality of his energies, to a person who was an authentic
rogue. 14 That person claimed to have had the privilege to communicate through a
medium with P.Y. and with Lahiri Mahasaya. It was pathetic and, to an extent,
even amusing being told that nowadays P.Y. 's message is: "In this epoch, the
Kriya is old-fashioned and useless. Devotion is enough!".
Another kriyaban friend seemed to live only for "improving" his Kriya by
incorporating various esoteric procedures, even those described in the manuals of
Ceremonial magic. He was convinced that only by using certain formulas and
initiatic symbols, was it possible to complete the evolutionary jump conducive to
liberation.
After a great insistence, I accepted to read what for him was a masterpiece
of initiatic literature. The book surprised me for the quantity of information it
contained. While reading it, I entered an almost hypnotic state and didn't
immediately realize that each chain of ideas therein contained had no basis at all,
but was only offspring of the unbridled imagination of the author. Through an
intoxication with words, the author's imagination dared to develop free from the
relationship with reality and from the rules of logic. The whole thing was only a
pure mental enjoyment comparable to that of reading a fantasy novel. Reading
Tolkien would have been immensely more interesting and wise. How can you
think of experiencing something concrete by just reading such junk? I counseled
to my friend some good books; he stated he had already read them. But it was a
lie he preferred to keep them at a distance.
I came to know that he was the spiritual guide of a small group of persons
posing as christian devotees, while they were just bewildered. I can't imagine
what he taught them since he never talk to me of this activity.

I have some grounds to believe that the untrustworthy soil of spiritualism is one of the best areas to
cultivate splits inside one's personality. Apart from the automatic writing in which the one who asks
is the same person that gives the answer, the Medium knows in advance the preferences and
anticipations of the person who addresses him. Therefore all becomes like a closed circuit: question
and answer reverberate in an endless loop like the feedback of a microphone set next to its loud
speaker. As anyone can observe, the messages are always agreeable. Every adept, even of limited
intelligence, receives the message that the Divine has assigned him an important mission& I believe
that this is, psychologically speaking, very dangerous.

One day he met a self-named expert in occult matters who purported to
know the secrets of an almost extinct esoteric path and, in particular, a spiritual
technique far more advanced than those known today, which was practiced
centuries or millennia ago, by few privileged beings. This "expert" guided him
sweetly but with the surety of a mature professional, towards a situation in which
his economic base, essential to his living, was at risk of being swept away,
completely reduced to shambles. He easily bewitched him. "Now that humanity
is different from before, such teachings are not revealed to just anyone" he
started off, then after a pause and with a sigh, finally concluded: "Today's
students would not know how to appreciate them and, in their hands, they could
be dangerous." [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
