No student should make the mistake of accepting spiritism as a part of mysticism or of attending séances as a practice in meditation. Mediumship is both mentally and morally harmful. In the end it does not yield what it promises but deceives those who trust it. The student who dabbles in it will actually retrogress under the delusion that he is progressing. He may lose in a few months what it has taken him years to gain.
