Dear Czymra,

It is not fully clear to me what you are concluding and what you are exactly asking. It seems you are objecting to mere mental exercise and the use of too many words.
Bear in mind that the letter is not addressed to you or to a general public, but to a specific person in an other time and setting. If you want to communicate spiritual experience and knowledge mentally in a more or less comprehensive and precise manner you need a certain amount of words. You can not call that mental rambling. just because it takes a certain mental effort to follow. In fact the authors first spiritual realization, was complete mental silence for the rest of his life. He achieved that after some yogi explained to him that thought were coming from outside and he just had to reject them. He practiced that for three days and got that realization. All his writings are a use of the mind to communicate and organize knowledge and experience in a understandable form.

I have a specific spiritual background that nobody else on this forum has, just as in my daily live it is the opposite and I am the only one participating in this forum with this particular background.

So I contribute bits from that that I think can be useful and valuable for others. With some it will click or help and for others it will pass as useless. Fine.
I have put these threads a such and if nobody is interested also fine. For some they will be too long a read and others may want to study it carefully. To put the complete source material has a different impact than to put a one or two phrase summary like: "He guys watch out, the impact of initial or partial experiences in comparison with the daily waking consciousness can be such that you give it too much overall importance or universal applicability and this could lead you in the wrong direction".

The Savitri thread is not only about that book, but refers to four different books. I kept it together because they all come from the same distinctive paradigm, but in themselves refer to different subject matters.

Now to round up let me dowse a message....

Always indeed it is the higher Power that acts. Our sense of personal effort and aspiration comes from the attempt of the egoistic mind to identify itself in a wrong and imperfect way with the workings of the divine Force. It persists in applying to experience on a supernormal plane the ordinary terms of mentality which it applies to its normal experiences in the world.

Now that reminds me of someone on the syphoning thread.
