"Here are the names of some glamours:
*1. ''The glamour of [[destiny]]''. This is a glamour which indicates to the one whom it [[controls]], that he has important work to do, and that he must speak and work as destined. This feeds a [[pride]] which has no [[foundation]] in [[fact]].
*2. ''The glamour of [[aspiration]]''. Those thus conditioned are completely [[satisfied]] and pre-occupied with their aspiration towards the [[light]] and rest back upon the [[fact]] that they are aspirants. Such people need to move onward on to the Path of [[Discipleship]] and cease their preoccupation and satisfaction with their spiritual [[ambitions]] and goals.
*3. ''The glamour of [[self]]-[[assurance]]'' or of what might be called the [[astral]] principles of the [[disciple]]. This is the [[belief]], in plain language, that the disciple regards that his [[point of view]] is entirely right. This again feeds pride and tends to make the disciple believe himself to be an [[authority]] and [[infallible]]. It is the background of the [[theologian]].
*4. ''The glamour of [[duty]]''. This leads to an over-emphasis of the sense of [[responsibility]], producing lost [[motion]] and the emphasis of the non-essential.
*5. ''The glamour of environing conditions'', leading frequently to a sense of [[frustration]], or futility or of impotence.
*6. ''The glamour of the [[mind]]'' and of its [[efficiency]], and its capacity to deal with any or every [[problem]]. This leads inevitably to [[isolation]] and [[loneliness]].
*7. ''The glamour of [[devotion]]'', leading to an undue [[stimulation]] of the [[astral body]]. The man or woman thus glamoured sees only one [[idea]], one person, one [[authority]] and one aspect of the [[truth]]. It feeds [[fanaticism]] and spiritual pride.
*8. ''The glamour of [[desire]]'' with its [[reflex]] action upon the physical [[body]]. This leads to a constant condition of fighting and of [[turmoil]]. It negates all [[peace]] and fruitful work and must some day be brought to an end.
*9. ''The glamour of personal [[ambition]]''.
There are many other glamours, both individual and worldwide, but these will serve to indicate a general tendency." ([http://books.google.com/books/about/Discipleship_in_the_new_age.html?id=lNOIoDFbo3YC Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. I, p. 26/7])
