Esoteric Lesson
It is not a bad sign when all kinds of thoughts rush in during meditation, because everything is intensified, and it is therefore quite natural. But it is precisely then that it is of the utmost importance that we keep them at a distance; and in the empty space that we create around our meditation, by keeping away everything that wants to rush in, we have the best chance of seeing real occult experiences occur. This also increases our strength, because even more valuable than meditation itself is the will to persevere no matter what happens, and not to expect salvation from anything else, but to continue our meditation strictly and with the deepest seriousness. This will to keep going is of the utmost importance.
