To each his own, free will is paramount. Each will be drawn to those spiritual teachers who resonate with them personally.

I admit I do not believe it is possible for anyone to teach anyone anything. Learning is something that happens in the self, of the self. What a 'teacher' can do is show you things and in this way I see all of reality, dark and light, good and evil, as my 'teacher'. So, depending on what is shown, I may perhaps learn different things, but what I learn is not dependent on what is being taught, rather it is actually upon what I wish to learn.

In this case my purpose is to read his materials so as to gain a clearer understanding of his character and his social role, since he was obviously around in a very transformative time. I do not take any materials I read as an authority, not even the Ra Material (although Ra does have many descriptions for things which echo my own) and I certainly am not a 'follower' in any much sense.

I was drawn to the Ra Material by my intuition and internal guidance, I saw things it showed me, I have loved and hated it, it has not always been totally positive, but I have learned from it and that is key. I am drawn to read Gurdjieff's work, the same as I was drawn to read The Music Lesson by Victor Wooten recently and how I was drawn to Israel Regardie, and how I really liked the Harry Potter books when I was younger. They are all catalyst which can be polarized in EITHER direction.

Condemnation is not a particularly 'STO' trait in my eyes.
