Dangerous ground - the breaking down of the will.

"Many meditations and concentrations used in Oriental teachings discourage the development of positive, clear cut thinking. They break down the power of the brain to generate electrical energies high enough in voltage to exercise control.

Instead the control comes from the sympathetic nervous system."

What purpose does such a system serve?

"Many of the oriental systems are designed to develop volumes of low potential electrical energy, such as can most easily be used by a distant Mahatma in the flesh, or an astral entity. This, is spite of any attempted resistance by the individuals so trained, when they realize they are being controlled for purposes about which they know nothing.

The Ancient Masons strove to develop the intellect and the will.

The Ancient Masons trained individuals to always be masters of themselves. The Oriental system is designed to furnish plastic individuals, quite incapable of directing their own forces.

Plastic individuals who generate great quantities of low frequency electrical energy which can, and is used, whether or not there is consent, by cunning and dominant minds working from the inner (i.e. astral) plane for their own selfish purposes."
