this information and techniques have been available generally for thousands of years, rather than never published before.

No one is above another in opportunities available, and never has been.

Assorted churches are based on original proper spiritual practices, even if they are now corrupted for the sake of power. And from what I've seen, no organization is exempt from corruption.

The Gnostics, Pagans, Witches, Naturists, Animists, Egyptians, Jews, Early Christians, Aborigines, Schizophrenics and many others including myself, claim Direct Revelation.

One of the main problems on Earth is the uniqueness and special Relationship, that certain religions claim they have.

The problem is not with lack of availability of Direct Assistance. It is that: "Those whom the Gods would destroy, they first drive mad with power."

Further clarified as: Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil. The first half of this statement suggests that the Great White "Father" is responsible for the temptation we experience, and that we will almost inevitably go for it. The second half suggests that once we do go for it, we are helplessly bound by it, and cannot escape;- that we require extraction by an outside Agency.

But then; one must ask what positive purpose could an educational agent have in putting us through such a thing.

The apparent answer is that in order to be trusted to exercise free will properly, as gods in our own right, then we must have all knowledge of wrong and right. Socrates' "right opinion" is not good enough. Experiential knowledge is required for strength of integrity of ethics.

It is said by one person that the first entity we meet when exiting this life is the Interrogating Angel, who asks "What have you learned, and whom have you helped?"

In another scenario, the Angel demands: "Show me your scars!"
