From: tom skarda

Hi guys,
   Something that might be worth remembering...Almost all mystical texts
stress that those who go around using their "powers" (and I'll leave the
definition of that up to the class) frequently in public demonstration
inevitably end up not only loosing their "powers", but also end up falling
off of the spiritual path.
   Food for thought,
   Tom
