In their action, they are baneful, cutting the man off from consciousness of the restraining power of his divine nature, so that his forces break forth exuberant, like the laughter of drunkards, and he sees and hears things delusive. IN THEIR ACTION THEY ARE BANEFUL CUTTING THE MAN OFF FROM CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE RESTRAINING POWER OF HIS DIVINE NATURE SO THAT HIS FORCES BREAK FORTH EXUBERANT LIKE THE LAUGHTER OF DRUNKARDS AND HE SEES AND HEARS THINGS DELUSIVE
ent of the spiritual man, in the world of dreams, a shadow lord of shadows, who has his own dreamy powers of vision, of hearing, of movement; he has left the natural without reaching the spiritual. He has set forth from the shore, but has not gained the further verge of the river. He is borne along by the stream, with no foothold on either shore. Leaving the actual, he has fallen short of the real, caught in the limbo of vanities and delusions. The cause of this aberrant phantasm is always the worship of a false, vain self, the lord of dreams, within one’s own breast. This is the psychic man, lord of delusive and bewildering psychic powers. Spiritual powers, like intellectual or artistic gifts, may be inborn: the fruit, that is, of seeds planted and reared with toil in a former birth. So also the powers of the psychic man may be inborn, a delusive harvest from seeds of delusion. Psychical powers may be gained by drugs, as poverty, shame, debasement may be gained by the self-same drugs.  THERE IS A COUNTERFEIT PRESENTMENT OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN IN THE WORLD OF DREAMS A SHADOW LORD OF SHADOWS WHO HAS HIS OWN DREAMY POWERS OF VISION OF HEARING OF MOVEMENT HE HAS LEFT THE NATURAL WITHOUT REACHING THE SPIRITUAL HE HAS SET FORTH FROM THE SHORE BUT HAS NOT GAINED THE FURTHER VERGE OF THE RIVER HE IS BORNE ALONG BY THE STREAM WITH NO FOOTHOLD ON EITHER SHORE LEAVING THE ACTUAL HE HAS FALLEN SHORT OF THE REAL CAUGHT IN THE LIMBO OF VANITIES AND ILLUSIONS THE CAUSE OF THIS ABERRANT PHANTASM IS ALWAYS THE WORSHIP OF A FALSE VAIN SELF THE LORD OF DREAMS WITHIN ONE'S OWN BREAST THIS IS THE PSYCHIC MAN LORD OF DELUSIVE AND BEWILDERING PSYCHIC POWERS SPIRITUAL POWERS LIKE INTELLECTUAL OR ARTISTIC GIFTS MAY BE INBORN THE FRUIT THAT IS OF SEEDS PLANTED AND REARED WITH TOIL IN A FORMER BIRTH SO ALSO THE POWERS OF THE PSYCHIC MAN MAY BE INBORN A DELUSIVE HARVEST FROM SEEDS OF DELUSION PSYCHICAL POWERS MAY BE GAINED BY DRUGS AS POVERTY SHAME DEBASEMENT MAY BE GAINED BY THE SELF SAME DRUGS
