The occultist who sits like a mandarin before his devout but bewildered disciples and spins out whole systems of planes and spheres showing that he knows everything and more, has his pupils entirely at his mercy. They cannot answer back to him, for he is in the privileged and exclusive position of being able to "see" these planes and thus they must accept his reports.
