It would be a blunder to accept all mystically derived messages as divinely given and specially revealed. They may be wholly so but it is much more likely that they are only partially so, and even that they have no divine origin at all. It is wise and needful to examine them carefully, sympathetically if we wish, but critically thereafter. We should note where personal limitations have insidiously or blatantly crept in and where pure universality has let the divine stream flow clear.
