If you really want to progress, evolve, do not waste your time with clairvoyants, but study & work so that you may come to know yourself

"It is very difficult for human beings in general and spiritual persons in particular to have an objective opinion of themselves. Some, frightened by the immensity of initiatic science, by the distance separating them from their goal, feel miserable, whilst in fact they are very evolved, they have made sound progress along the road of their inner development. This is really not very good for them. Others on the other hand, who are completely stupid and short-sighted, believe themselves to be great initiates, geniuses, even divinities. But since nothing in their lives justifies this good opinion they have of themselves, they go and consult a so-called medium or clairvoyant who tells them all kinds of fantastic stories about their reincarnations – because after all it is in their own interest to cheat people otherwise they would attract no clients. Indeed they are fantastic stories, full of celebrities and glorious history and saints and prophets. But what good does it do them, if every day reality proves to them that they are nothing at all? One of the greatest hindrances to evolution is to delude yourself about your past incarnations. If you really want to progress, evolve, do not waste your time with clairvoyants, but study and work so that you may come to know yourself. No-one can truly evolve if they have not assessed themselves correctly."
