Matthew 10:8 :: New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in
the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5 having a form of
godliness
but denying
its power. Have nothing to do with
them.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil
desires,
7 always learning but never able to
acknowledge the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the
truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is
concerned, are rejected.
9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those
men, their folly will be
clear to everyone.”

Hebrews 5:6 :: King James Version (KJV)
Therefore, I say:
Know your enemy and know yourself;
in a hundred battles, you
will never be defeated.
When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,
your chances of winning or
losing are equal.
If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,
you are sure to be defeated in
every battle.
-- Sun Tzu, The
Art of War, c.
500bc
There are two ends not to be served by a wanderer.
What are these two? The pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which
springs from desire, which is base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and
unprofitable;
and the
pursuit of pain and hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.

"A
real psychic attack is not usually caused by a person doing a spell to harm
you. Rather, it is caused by a person or persons who for some reason are angry
with you. Their rage causes them to
unknowingly send a stream of energy filled with their anger toward you. What is
more likely, however, is that you simply believe that some negativity is coming
toward you. In either case, you will still
feel as if you are under attack, and both cases can be dealt with in the same
way." (p. 45-46)

"Possession of a magnetic center is the first, although quite
unspoken, demand of the esoteric circle. If a man
without a magnetic
center, or a small or a weak magnetic center, or with several
contradictory magnetic centers, that is, interested in
many
incompatible things at the same time, meets esoteric
knowledge, he
does not become interested in it, or becomes critical at once before
he can know anything, or his interest disappears very quickly when he
meets with the first difficulties of esoteric work. This is the chief
safeguard of the esoteric center." --P. D. Ouspensky
Development in the direction of a higher level of psychological
possibility necessitates work in the direction that
minimizes this
feature of sleep termed buffering. The psychological buffers men
develop in life, many a result of imitation, are exactly what make
sleep possible in a man. Remove a man's buffers and he cannot sleep.
Such a condition, the removal of buffers, drives an ordinary,
unprepared man into madness. Before the work to
minimize buffers
begins a certain psychological process or preparation has to have
begun in a man, and this process has to be self-initiated. While
these buffers are intact an average man believes that life is a more-
or-less pleasant state of affairs, depending on the condition of his
health, his finances and his love-life. Average men feel it is
possible to casually examine various philosophies
and interesting
theories without taking any of it too seriously. Men
with the usual
set of buffers intact within their psychology are actually more
serious about their routine daily lives than any sort of 'exotic'
esotericism. Reality for most men is often limited to
those things
that first feed their instinctive urges and secondly feed their self-
importance. When a man encounters a force which
opposes his self-
importance his personality immediately retaliates with
a series of
buffers. In order to socialize a man, to bend his essence into
submission and cloud it over with a coating of
personality, many
inconsistencies have to be explained away and ignored. The
psychological devices that explain away and ignore the
contradictions
in life are buffers. The chief buffer in the population in general is
the thorough acceptance of the commonplace social outlook, it is the
psychological immersion in the chronic social mentality
that creates
a limited and formatory world in the minds of
ninety nine percent of
the population. A man with a developing magnetic center increasingly
finds such an outlook impossible to believe. Those with a magnetic
center actually suffer from the effects of this social mentality,
they feel deep inside themselves that it is a lie, that somehow much
more is hidden behind the scenes of the everyday world. Particularly
this self-initiating process begins to direct its effects on the man
himself, not only does he cease to believe in the institution of life
in general, but he begins to disbelieve in himself. A man with a
magnetic center begins to doubt the perceptions of
his own socially-
induced personality. A well-developed magnetic center is in the
process of losing the buffer of self-importance. As magnetic center
grows and the buffers in a man's psychology begin to melt, as the
glue that binds his usual condition of psychological sleep together
begins to dissolve, the man is forced to look deeper into himself and
the social order that surrounds him. If these buffers dissolve
enough, if the seams of sleep come apart sufficiently, the magnetic
center may actually recognize someone in the environment who is of a
fundamentally different order of life than the majority
of the
general population.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not
merely to time alone,” murmured the
Sphinx, breaking its muteness
at last. “Thou
art eternal,
and not
merely of the vanishing flesh. The
soul in man cannot be killed, cannot
die. It waits,
shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is
One within thee, as in all men, that
comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!”
