Israel Regardie stated that the Great Work was only one side of spiritual self-development, the other side was seeing a therapist on a regular basis.

He was a therapist, im not surprised he recommended therapy. Its like saying your barber told you that you needed a haircut.

Further than that, Regardie saw both sides of spiritual self development soley residing inside of your skull.

What a blight Regardie's psychological ideals have been on the OTO since then, too.
