I would say, definitely. Any spiritual fast-track can't be bad. Although there's a lot to be said for the spiritual school of hard knocks, in that the lessons learned are driven home harder. As far as I can remember, though, the true 'fast tracks' like "The Merkabah" and "Jacob's Ladder" are very rarely presented to us. Plus, if they ARE presented, they have to be recognised as such. I reckon your phrase of 'taking on the Demiurge' is similar to the story of 'Jacob wrestling with God' and thus, becoming Israel. Still, it was a hard task and maimed him for life. Whereas with true gnosis, if you have it, the only drawback is that those who don't have it think your insane...but you know better. ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
