Ordinary spirit communication does not take us beyond name and form. It may take us forward in time but it does not take us out of time; it may take us backward in space but it does not take us out of space. In fact, it attaches us even more to conditioned existence. Besides, it does not develop the personality. It may add to our store of knowledge, but this is "our" knowledge, not the divine knowledge, and this becomes an additional weight to the spirit which is further buried under debris just so long as we dwell in the realm of finitude.
