The whole planet reeks of mysticism without revelation. To hell with it.

At the same time there is no more serious error than that of wanting to "organise" a community or fraternity which would be called to play either the role of an instrument of spiritual selection or election, or even the role of a spiritual elite. For one can neither assume the function of election nor consider oneself as elect. It would be morally monstrous if a group of people were to say: "We shall choose ten righteous men of our time" or "We are the righteous men of our time." Because one does not elect; one is elected. Knowledge of the fact of "spiritual selection," or election, and the role that it plays in the history of mankind and in evolution in general can therefore certainly give rise to the birth of a false esotericism, i.e. the formation of groups, communities, and fraternities which believe themselves as authorised to elect, or believe themselves to be elect. "False prophets" and "false Christs" -of which the Gospel speaks- are, and will be, produced by false esotericism cultivated by those who assume the right of election or "spiritual selection." It may be added that no Christian saint has ever considered himself otherwise than a great sinner, and that there was no righteous man or prophet in the Old Testament who was not called or chosen from above.
