It is generally quite undesirable to indulge in any occult activity, such as automatic writing, in order to produce psychic phenomena; indeed, it is often dangerous to do so. The mediumistic conditions thus aroused expose one to influences--even possession--by unknown and possibly evil spirits. The true mystical experience has nothing whatsoever to do with such proceedings and seeks to be influenced and possessed by the divine Overself alone.
