Jerry:

There is another analogy that I would like to draw. For example a secret
society such as Freemasonry, when their meetings take place, everyone
other than those entitled to be present are kept out by shutting or
locking the door to the entrance of the building, not unlike my locking
my house doors to prevent unauthorized entry by anyone.

I have read that in an analogous manner, cannot entities be locked out in
say astral plane where a "meeting" is taking place to protect privacy?

Any thoughts on the above line of thinking?
