#8 is what turned me off to The New Message of God group. There was way too much emphasis on the messenger.
#9 is speeding up because of the influx of energies, didn't used to be that way.

I can see all of them being useful. I do agree with 8 and 9.
#5 is a really BIG one, and it is every where. This brings to mind to me how many hypocrites there are out there (not counting gurus, etc) in everyday life!!!!
AND THIS ONE: #7 - “Spiritual materialism is that process by which the ego grasps at the accomplishments and progress of the self upon the spiritual path; an act by which its very nature denies the Self.” Oh boy do I know of a few who are LIKE THIS. So that is what this is called, spiritual materialism!!!! Yeah and they talk about how others around them need to spiritually grow and or think their way is the best way or they've figured it all out (hahahahah NOT!!!) and they have the HUGE log in their eye too because they are stuck in the "spiritual materialism"!!!!
Number 1, 3, 4 & 6 are also another really good ones....
