And all for a small weekly donation?
I suggest that it is better to teach right livelihood, right relationships etc. This can be supported by diffusive and harmonizing meditation. At much later stage the aspirant may be ready for focused interventions.
The practice of right relationships is particularly important as it trains the internal intelligences that assist the human manifestation. In the absence of that training, increased energy flows will result in increased distortions.

This seems to me to be a sample of distorted humanity and therefore of interest to the meta-physicist but not necessarily reflecting the normal spiritual processes in the human race.
I think it is admirable to want to help those in need of assistance. Although I would be most cautious teaching any of the higher skills to anybody who has not attained basic skills. That is not meant to be a put down to victims, abusers, rescuers. Take corporate greed for example ... would you want to impart knowledge that would enhance that greed?

LorrB, I'm completely with you. What I see now can be rather off putting. How would more sight affect me? Early in my studies I tried to see interiorly with little success. Whenever I played the piano visions would come, but that didn't help my playing at all! Even now I see tableaux with my eyes shut but I figure it is caused by some physical condition. When we're ready, it'll come naturally.

Well, I never thought of it in just that way before, although I don't know that I would use the word "distorted." Sitting naked on a mountain top seems hardly natural either, if it comes to that.
Personally I find it inspiring to watch a soul rise from the depths to a point where the system can encourage interior examination. I daresay religion has less success in developing a morality as demanding as AA.
The 12 steps may have evolved out of necessity to help a portion of hurting humanity with very special needs. IMHO it works with alcoholics because it works with all humanity. I've seen it not work with those who stubbornly insist there is no God. But I've also seen atheists attain sobriety in the same program.
Most substance abuse involves non-human entities having a party using human bodies or capturing humans for on-going use - hence my use of the term distorted.
Thus some of the stages in the progress towards enlightenment are more severe and complex and may require significant support in the sense that the human may be energetically disabled.
Energetic disablement is one of the means by which the external entities protect their asset.
