Choice / Desire: The esoteric way, by definition, cannot be the object of a CHOICE by those who follow it, for it is not the man who chooses the way, it is the way that chooses the man. In other words, the question of a CHOICE does not arise, since the finite cannot choose the Infinite; rather the question is one of vocation, and those who are “called,” to use the Gospel expression, cannot ignore the call without committing a “sin against the Holy Ghost,” any more than a man can legitimately ignore the obligations of his religion. If it is incorrect to speak of a “CHOICE” with reference to the Infinite, it is equally wrong to speak of a “desire,” since it is less a desire for Divine Reality that characterizes the initiate than a logical and ontological tendency toward his own transcendent Essence. This definition is of extreme importance. (GTUFS: UnityReligions, The Limitations of Exoterism)
