---

Visions and messages that confirm or mirror the beliefs of a particular sect may have little value. Suggestion, working on the imagination, may help to produce them, or the disciple may unconsciously wish to oblige his guru, his co-disciples, or his own expectations. They are always to be regarded with caution. In the atmosphere of their own circles, sectarian bias may prevent proper understanding of the need to discriminate between the real and the imaginary in them.
