The category of my readers was gradually formed during the years through my books. In a few words, I receive now more and more letters by people with spiritual pursuits and needs, or by people asking advice and guidance what to read. Fewer and fewer are the people asking me about a medium. Among the people with whom I communicate on everyday basis and even among those who contact me for advice or help, I am not called upon to meet materialists of the most extreme type. To be more exact, I should say I am not always called upon to meet them. Some of my closest and most beloved friends from the past, however, and even some relatives, are a mirror image of this type – entirely materialistic, feeling not only reluctance but even something akin to aversion to talk about spiritual issues or pursuits. In the past, almost all my professional and friendly surroundings included extreme materialists. They ridiculed my astrological and esoteric studies and were even resentful. Most of them are already deceased.
As a conscientious disciple of Spiritual Science, I am doing my best to be free from prejudices, to be open to any information and any kind of human thinking, not to be critical, to accept and love my family and friends the way they are. I am doing my best, but it is not easy and I am not always successful. Here is my story in this connection.
