As with many other kinds of practice with your inner

faculties, it is not generally desirable to let other people

know more than that you are "interested in" these matters.
(Of course, you should only tell them even that much if
you feel sure they are sympathetic; and, in any case, do
assume that at some time they will tell others.) Apart from
the detriment that could occur to your inner work from the
things other people say to you, especially in the early stages
of your development, or even from things they think - you
are working mostly by thought, aren't you? - there is the
danger of defusing your own activity by the mere act of
talking about it.
If you are excited, perplexed, or disturbed about anything,
frequently the quickest way to an easier state of mind
is to talk about it. This may or may not help in the long
run, depending largely on the character of the person you
talk to, but at least for the time it dissipates your pattern of
thought and emotion. So take care with the creative visualization
thoughts and images that you do not want dissipated;
guard them from contact as you would guard the
growing tip of a treasured plan
