There was a conversation a few MMs ago about risks of opening up teachings in a way that Israel Regardie did by publishing Golden Dawn material and in a way you open it in your books for several traditions.
I, for one, am immensely grateful to you for all the public work you do and I don't know how I would navigate the world of magic without your help and guidance. I am sure there are many more people who have similar feelings towards yourself and other people who make these teachings public. Before that discussion about the risks and possible karma for this kind of work I was happily aware only of my side of the picture where I only see the benefits I receive. Now, I am more than curious to know more!
1. What kind of risks are there for making this information public? What can go wrong? I understand that someone might want to use it for less than noble goals but I doubt they'd get past the Watcher to get enough power for anything too malicious. There is also a chance to go too far out of balance, particularly if there is no guidance available for correction... Anything else?
2. What measures can be put in place to prevent or reduce those risks? I understand that this is what the flake filters are for. The obligation we take in the Ovate Grade initiation of the CGD is also neat. Any other examples (that you'd be willing to mention publicly?)
3. Any examples of karma that one could incur by making teachings like this public?

Many thanks once again for everything you do!
