Representatives of [[Colonized Spirituality]] often suggest that only “the chosen few” are able to, or worthy enough, to make this type of realization/connection. This is exactly the position taken by an influential English occultist who tells us that “very few in life ... can attain to the full realization of their divine origin and nature.” <ref>Regardie, Israel.
