Love, Wisdom, and Power

[βαθμιαίος]

Setting aside the magical personality for a moment, if I may, I'd like to focus on the higher self a bit. I had always understood the higher self to be the late-sixth-density entity itself, not a thought form. I see why you read 37.6 the way you do, but there are other quotes that can, arguably, be read to indicate the reverse -- quotes that talk about the higher self and the entity being two selves that are in fact the same self, about the higher self programming lessons (can a thought form program lessons?), about it calling on the mind/body/spirit totality (can a thought form call on something?) .

Maybe it doesn't really matter -- I'm not sure.
