Weird that you post this, been having a ton of syncs leading to this topic. Good timing with the controversy with polarity, too, which I have a ton of problems with.
The pseudo-spiritually glamorous is seductive -- that's the main reason Dr. Hawkins has been so focused on applied kinesiology and calibrations as the only way to objectifiably verifiable truth, direct from Universal Consciousness without distortion. Spiritual seduction is the art of the lower astral realms, one that they are
masters of, for millenia. Spiritual seekers and up-and-coming lightworkers are the "juiciest" targets for the lower astral entities, as they rise up their hierarchies the more spiritual human beings they can divert off the path to God.
All the great teachers didn't say that the lower astrals and hells don't exist and have no reality, they say "Don't go there." You're not equipped to go there, not capable of handling lower astral entities. It takes an enormous amount of spiritual discernment to be able to tell. Temptations abound, all along the way.
The Luciferic temptation is to usurp the Power of God, but refuse the Love of God, because the Love of God places limitations on the use of power. You can't kill and control others, with love. To place power above love, to take and use power for its own sake, is to succumb to this temptation and risk going down LOC into the lower astral realms.
The downside of spirituality is naivete, and to counter this is to have humility, to know that we do not know. When we have this humility we are open to Truth from higher sources. But when we assume we know it all, then deceit and falsehood will be able to make inroads into our consciousness.
The best way to rapidly progress spiritually and raise your own LOC as well as mankind's LOC, is to pursue a calibratably-integrous valid pathway to enlightenment. All the needed calibrations are in Dr. Hawkins' "Truth vs. Falsehood." An online list of some of them can be found here:

Avoid the New Age astral circus, they are all diversions. Psychics, channelling, oujia boards, siddhis (psychic powers), witchcraft and magic, foretelling the future, etc. -- they do exist, they are real, they do work, and they are curiously interesting indeed, but... "Don't go there." Human physicality is a grand karmic opportunity to undo our previous mistakes and make rapid spiritual progress, for us as individuals and as collective mankind --there is no time to waste on astral diversions.
"Straight and narrow is the path...waste no time."
