When I say (19870328)* that I feel at all times the ability to reject the whole thing, quite freely, I am also aware of what this would involve: the deliberate veiling of the Spirit within, which even** now I know only imperfectly. I believe that I could do it: in fact I believe that unless I concentrate on it***, it may happen, but whether I would do it deliberately is quite another matter. The preservation of intellectual detachment (which others might not recognise as such) is a balancing act, perhaps more so than the see-saw as which I have represented it (19870328).**** It brings dangers: the intellect is, I believe, a quality or characteristic of starting on the Outer Circle, at least in a certain mode of use (ref. Ordination, and the Chariot). Too much concentration on intellectual analysis could weight or overbalance progress onto the Outer Circle instead of the Inner Circle.
