Why are there so many people who are mentally, spiritually, and emotionally unbalanced? Because they have developed the feminine principle too much within themselves, the principle that is passive and receptive. These people unreservedly open themselves up to all influences and after a time they lose their way. They should therefore ponder, study, analyse the effects these influences have on their inner life and only accept those which are beneficial and reject the others. In other words they must develop the masculine principle within themselves. And this is particularly true for people with mediumistic faculties, which are typically feminine faculties in that they imply receptivity. The crystal ball used by some mediums as an aid to their clairvoyance is the equivalent to the feminine principle in nature – water. Being a medium implies being receptive to spirits and energies in the invisible world. But these spirits and energies are not all luminous, pure, and beneficial. It is therefore important for all those with natural mediumistic gifts to train themselves to determine the nature of these psychic energies and to develop their will so that they can reject the dark energies.
