---

During the early stages of his Quest, the neophyte will have to take some protective measures against the mental auras, the emotional influences, and the psychic magnetisms of other people whose character or conduct may have an obstructive effect upon his Quest or a disturbing effect upon his mind. The total avoidance of such people, or at least a reduction in the number of contacts with them, is one such measure; a special vigilance, when he is with them, over his thoughts and feelings, so as to discriminate those which come from them and those which are really his own, is another measure.
