The fundamental heresy of the Black Lodge is contempt for
"the world, the flesh, and the devil", all which are
essential to the plan of the Universe; it is cardinal to the Great Work
for the Adept so to order affairs that "even the evil germs of Matter
shall alike become useful and good".
The error of Christian Mystics on this point has been responsible for more cruelty,
misery, and collective insanity than all others put together; its poison can be traced
even in the teaching of Freud, who assumed that the Unconscious was "the devil",
whereas in fact it is the instinct which expresses, beneath a veil, the inherent Point-
of- View of each, and, properly understood, is the key to Initiation, and a hint of
what seed may blossom and fructify as the "Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy
Guardian Angel". For "Every man and every woman is a star".
