In the case of the man coming and representing himself to be Æsop, the ordinary person, who had not learned to listen to and obey the inner voice of the soul, would naturally believe that here was the inner teacher or mentor he had been seeking, only later to be disillusioned when he found such teacher was not what he claimed to be and could not teach the Christ Truths for which his soul was hungering. Many have been lead astray by just such imposters.

Such dreams usually come for some good purpose, and always carry hidden meanings like the above, the people and surroundings in them merely serving as characters and object lessons to illustrate some needed truths.

HERE is a chief truth in guidance to occult study; pay small heed to the marvels, or to magic; and all heed to laws, for the laws are the tree. The marvel workers are the least of the brethren, understanding not the laws of the Father to any profitable extent.

Know the law, know the marvels incident; know not the law, but only the marvels, and you are not following Him, nor shall you inherit His Kingdom; though you could do more magic than the great Masters. It was their possession of least value. May you regard it likewise.
