One of the most absurd and ignorant beliefs in Voodoo- or black magic, for that matter – is that a practitioner has the power to become suddenly invisible when facing  a physical threat.  For example, if facing someone with a gun, the practitioner can make himself invisible and therefore avoid the danger. 

In the past, AMORC has advertised rather strongly that it can, as an organization, help its member to get rid of such superstitious beliefs.   This promotion is used strongly in countries like Haiti and African countries, like Nigeria, where such beliefs are very popular.  To my great surprise, when I reached an advanced degree in AMORC, I discovered there was a prominent experiment  on how to become invisible as a mean of protecting myself against danger.   You would think that such a contradiction between AMORC’s solicitations and practices would stand out- extraordinarily.

But it didn’t.  In fact, I hardly noticed it at all.
