    Jeremy, in fact there are many groups practicing whom believe that
    they are sincerely practicing the great work. I was with one group
    for about 12 years. This group really believed they were in contact
    with the great white brotherhood. You can check out the Golden Dawn,
    the Rosicrucians (in multiple flavors and amounts of
    hermeticism),Dion Fortunes Fraternity of the Inner Light, the Aurum
    Solis, the A.A. , the OTO, the Builders of the Adytum, to name a few.
    Have I ever met anyone I would consider an Adept? Nope. I find the
    groups valuable, but in the end progress comes from within. All
    groups must, by their very existance foster a feeling of separation
    from other individuals outside the order. This is, in fact, contrary
    to progress. (Keep in mind this is my opinion, and I do not consider
    myself an adept. I have had contact with members of many groups,
    though.) Keep in mind God is within you, and without you. You are
    God, and so am I. Therefore in my opinion all that leads to
    separation from others or boosting the ego in the sense that you are
    better than others is counter productive to development. And that
    seems to me to be where the group environment leads. If i had any
    right to give advice, I would say find an individual to talk to.
