The authentic inspirations of the Overself and the human illusions of the ego will often be mingled together in his mystical intuitions and experiences. Both factors being present, the result may confuse his mind if he is discriminating enough as well as exhilarated; sometimes it will misguide his mind if he is conceited enough. Only when the ego makes and keeps its fullest union with the Overself can he be sure of an unerringly true intuition or a perfectly transcendental experience.
