Treachery, Treason
Treason is precisely the main basis of undermining by the dark forces. For treason, one must know something. This relative knowledge, not strengthened by devotion, may be found on the first steps. (LHR I, p 79)
What crime is most destructive to the monad of the criminal? Certainly treason. This crime abruptly alters the current already established, and a terrific counter-blow results. A traitor cannot live long in the world of matter, and when he crosses over to the Subtle World, being entirely without life-giving energy, he is sucked into chaos and is doomed to disintegration. Treason is never impulsive. It is always premeditated, and thus its fate is aggravated. It must be understood that the return to chaos is indescribably painful. In addition, the feeling of the primary seed remains, and facing the futility of hoping for a speedy transformation demands indescribable courage. He is above all obsessed with conceit. Thus, people should be warned that even from a physical standpoint treason is intolerable. The traitor not only condemns himself but infects about him vast strata, generating storms of fire … Let each one who has pondered about the Fiery World beware of treason even in thought. No treason is small—it is great in evil and is hostile to the Universe. Such evil is in itself an obstacle to ascent. (FW I, 609)
