Counter-intellectualism creates ideal conditions for the manipulation of people, for it diminishes the importance of critical thinking, devalues the role of experts, and undermines systematic learning as a whole.
The ‘inside-out’ reality changes in parallel and in mutual interconnection with the manifest reality.
Humanity has been plunged into an almost inescapable predicament: its desires are blocked by the Archons; those that nonetheless break through are de-structured by the Kidemons; meanwhile the forces of life — the Vanas — have turned away from us, and the spirits of Wisdom — the Alvas — have decided that ignorance is our fundamental essence.

If left without due attention, religious and magical objects can readily become a source of evil and destruction.
We face a choice — remain a free biological species that governs itself, its environment, and its technologies, or finally become a weak-willed “raw-material appendage,” fit only for producing tonic pneuma that feeds the Empty spirits of the Interworld.

Examining this stage can help one grasp the general patterns of the Way and, in time, avoid mistakes that could later hinder a successful Crossing.
