cbsworks makes a good point:

"Look...that's how they got all of us...you can't trap spiritually advanced souls with lies - at first - you have to give them the goods. Masonry works like that. The blue lodge - the first three degrees - is all heart center and love and light. Then, after the fourth, the energies and rituals start DOWNWARD.
Same with Theosophy, Bailey teachings, blah blah blah.
But once you are in, then all manner of weirdness starts up. By then, you are one of the faithful, you don't see it, for the general population. For those that can see and are able to use their higher faculties, they keep you in a state of seclusion from the main body, and make sure your diet is all heart, love, and light - so you can be used.
You know them by their works: Rense, TJC, Swerdlow, Bell, Hoagland, Streiber, all paid agents of the man. Check it out. Do your own thinking. Listen to your heart"
Now cbsworks also "escaped the dark demons" so should we believe them?
One thing is for sure always be wary of doing any ritual that involves invoking external energies under the impression that you are recieving "higher" or benevolent energies that any "guru"encourages.
IMO creation works from within to without, our connection to our higher selves is internal not external. I am all for negating external negative energies with tools such as orgone or crystals etc but if i want to connect to spiritual energy that can only come from within.
Steve Gamble makes an exellent point in this article about inversions of truths with his rainbow example. quote:
""The more one studies occult philosophies and esoterica, as well as the art of propaganda, the more one sees the great power of direct inversion upon the psyche of Man. We see it in the Cabbala and Initiatic Science and it is equally obvious, if not more so when we compare Nature with the healing arts. Yes, even in the healing arts we are surrounded by the illusion. Nature yet again comes to our rescue and allows us to see through the illusion. I mentioned earlier that there may not be one book out there on chakra healing and chakra balancing that is in anyway near the truth. What we have been told over the years about our chakras, these spinning vortices of energy that come in all sizes and cover every inch of our bodies, is just another part of the illusion. What have we been spoon-fed about the seven main chakras in particular? We have been conditioned to believe that our base chakra for example is and should be red, the sacral orange, and the solar plexus yellow, and so on up to violet for the crown chakra. Would you agree? All our present day healing using and working with the chakras and most other forms of energy balancing is based on this premise of colour sequences. Why should we suspect this information is false? Because Nature shows us very clearly that this is so. We only need to look at a rainbow. A rainbow is formed when light is refracted through the water molecules in the atmosphere into its’ component parts.
We too are primarily composed of water molecules, therefore, is it unreasonable to assume we refract light in the same way? Do we have our own inner rainbow perhaps? If we look at a rainbow we see light refracted into seven colours. The top colour is red, then orange and so forth down to the bottom of the rainbow where we find the spiritual colours and vibrations. If we have been fortunate to observe a rainbow from an aeroplane we would see the rainbow forms a circle and the spiritual colours are in the centre. This complements how everything in nature works, from within to without, with the higher vibrations closer to source and the lower vibrations (red/orange etc) forming the further from source they are. The lower physical vibration red is on the outside, not on the bottom or the inside. The vibrational source of spirituality (and therefore truth) always lies in the centre. The eye of the storm shows us the same simple principle of how Nature works - balance, equilibrium, lies in the centre - chaos, destruction and imbalance lies on the outside.
Now, what in particular are we taught about our chakras and their colour sequence in the New Age movement, the healing arts and in many religious and spiritual teachings? We are taught that the spiritual colours lie at the top of the head, in our crown chakra (the very opposite of a rainbow and how nature works), and away from the centre of our being. It is exactly the same in the Qabala and it's so-called spiritual Tree Of Life where the ultimate spiritual attainment is to be found in Kether, the Crown Chakra. And what are we doing by placing our spiritual consciousness into the outer part of ourselves, in the top of our head? We are placing our spirituality into the control of our intellect and ego! We are pointing and focusing our spirituality away from it's source, away from it's Heart Centre, our true spiritual centre, and are merely excommunicating it to a life in the wilderness, a life in the ego-intellectually perceived consciousness of reality - the chaotic part, the 0.001% of who we really are - instead of a spiritually perceived consciousness of reality through our heart centre. This current belief promoted throughout the new age, the healing arts and spiritual teachings is another example of the inversion and reversal of truth we are constantly being subjected to."

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.
