9. Instability

"Suppose, though, that a large number of people do try at some period of their lives to reach beyond their bodily limits and find something better to exist for? What then? The next evil of Instability deals with very many of those daring to raise their noses inquiringly from the dust in search of cleaner areas of consciousness. In that sphere all the doubts, hesitations and everything to upset mental and spiritual balance is encountered. Here we find confusion, weakness distortion of vision, insanities and all the rest of associated factors calculated to push people away from their proper inner paths as far as possible. This is the sphere where drug addicts, fanatics and other assorted unstables fall back into the morass they made for themselves out of the mess they encounter.

Inner instability is capable of holding souls back for many incarnatory experiences. until we learn how to stand steadily on something with spiritual solidity, we shall never get anywhere making much sense. The secret of this, of course, is to take almost any spiritual system, however shaky it seems, and believe in it until it becomes solid enough to climb on for the first few steps, anyway, up the inner ladder of light. That is something which doubtful ditherers seldom discover for quite a long time. Many,indeed,shop around alot of different-seeming spiritual possibilities,shy away from the fallibilities they find in them all, and then fall back again into materialism because it seems a better bet or a more sustantial half loaf."

Grey then goes on to say that the purpose of "baddies" on this level is to try to prevent people to reach a stable faith in their own purpose or spiritual status.
