In her 'inner group teachings' Madame Blavatsky said that just one glass of wine can retard your spiritual evolution over several incarnations.
I hope not...
On Sunday, having been up half the night drinking, I got disoriented on Ashdown Forest and an hour's walk became three hours. I walked ever faster round a woody labyrinth until I eventually emerged at the top of the driveway that leads to the AMORC (an America-based Rosicrucian movement) headquarters in the UK. Carpenters were building magnificent new heraldic gates.
I found I'd walked off my hangover - was it with the help of nature spirits? Had SHE disoriented me?
I was given a wonderful present on Tuesday - a beautiful old edition of one of the greatest works of English nature mysticism, The Story of My Heart by Richard Jeffries.
Synchronous. I plan on visiting the AMORC in my city this Sunday.

I had to reschedule due to the arrival of a student/friend, but after I visit I'll post a comment here.

Glad you walked off your hangover. I'm no fan of Madame B's but know they don't call that stuff Spirits for nothing!
