Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton
Those who seek occult powers, superhuman capacities, have entered the wrong door. They should look elsewhere, not to philosophy, whose secrets concern primarily the kingdom of heaven. For the paths to hell are strewn with the wrecks of would-be witch doctors, sorcerers' apprentices, and magicians' disciples. For all this leads in the end to ego-omnipotence, not to ego-surrender.
