Dear Rawn, > This is why I say it would be self-destructive. For example, look > where acting upon the scientific model of the physical universe > has brought us.

Ah, this fits well with my thoughts - stemming from my conclusion regarding the possibility of such a model to only descirbe the 7 lower spheres - and my worries. You see, I am aware of certain research being done into, what seems to me, as this area. They are getting some results, limited and not really predictable ones, but still results. I fear that just like today the air is polluted and mankind has a nuclear arsenal in its possesion, tomorrow will bear deliberate contamination and damage to the astral and mental as well, due to the exact same lack of understanding and responsibility. It is my hope that perhaps one day a magician will "oversee" such development, perhaps procuring a beneficial technology for the good of uninitiated mankind, instead of something destructive. Thank you for your thoughts and insight :) I think I'll spend some more time meditating on it by myself too now, for some reason this subject bothers me quite a bit. Sincerely, Daniel Gutmanas
