This is purely speculative, but if, as Jan van Rijckenborgh stated in his third
address in 'The World Brotherhood of the Rosycross', the published proceedings
of the second Aquarius Renewal Conference, 'various groups of authorities such
as councils of ministers, other goverment groups, associations of scientists,
all busy carrying out their tasks in one way or another, the directors of large
enterprises of different kinds, assembled in their board rooms - all these
groups of persons ruling the world' were 'confronted with to them the most
extraordinary situations' in which 'Members of the Universal Brotherhood'
visited their meetings at 'psychological moments,' appearing 'in their
invisible, etheric bodies, while only their voices' were 'audible,' and
addressed these people in the way described, these people might find it very
useful indeed that they had once sat by their children's bedside, or had their
Mummy or Daddy sit by their own bedside, and tell them the story of 'The Other
Minister' from the sixth Harry Potter book, 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood
Prince,' the story of how magical government minister Cornelius Fudge appears to
the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and begins to explain to him about the
existence of an alternative world, a magical world existing parallel to their
own, and tells them what actions they need to take ...   That experience would
be a spark that would act as 'a conductor to bridge the gap,' as Hans put it.
They may then see the story of Harry Potter in a different light, and would be
able to start building in their minds on the symbolism already absorbed through
reading the story.   And, were that to happen, it would be very helpful to them
if they found their way to <http://harrypotterforseekers.com/> Harry Potter for
Seekers.  Completely speculative, but wouldn't it be wonderful if ...?
