Overcoming the ego does not consist of replacing one's own by some other man's. When we leave science (so far as it consists of recognizing or discovering facts, not putting forward theories) and enter the world of occult/mystic studies, we have to be wary of unproved assertions, of statements for which no reliable evidence is offered, of revelations which are compounded from inventions and imaginations as well as from inspirations.
