13. Opposition of the Hostile Forces

Fragment ID: 4048

But when the suggestions come, surely it is possible to know from their very character what they are and that itself shows that they must come from wrong vital Forces. The only thing is that they must be at once rejected and the entry into your own mind and vital refused to them – i.e. they must not be accepted or allowed to influence. Very few have the direct occult perception of the Forces behind the suggestion – at least until the cosmic consciousness fully opens, for then direct perception becomes more easily possible,– but the mental understanding can be used with good effect.
