Dear Simon, >> Regarding the question about a person creating greater selves: Could we say that elementals (as opposed to elementaries which would be separate from the magician), familiars, and homonculi occupy the same niche in the microcosm of the magician that a greater self would occupy in the macrocosm of deity? << A more accurate metaphor would be that an elemental would be akin to an Individual (temporal mental body) projected by a Greater Self (the magician).
