My response:
Another member said a similar thing - amounting to the proposition that I am
seeing more in the book than is actually there, or perhaps intended to be
there.

Believe me, I've thought about this continuously for the last three years.
People around me have also told me I'm putting symbolism into HP that simply
isn't there. I've had attacks of doubt and have started my thinking again
from scratch, but always I come back to the one and only one conclusion I
reach every time: Harry Potter is one of the great calls from the free
universe to the people imprisoned in this madhouse to go Path of Alchemy to
reach total liberation. My life at the moment is filled with tingling
excitement and I feel like someone who's just won the lottery but can't
believe it's true. I've made this earth-shattering discovery and (most)
people won't believe me.

I would like to ask permission to try to explain why I'm so sure. It's
extremely difficult but I'll try.

Just imagine a place you often visit; say, a large house with many rooms and
a huge garden with paths everywhere, a pond, bowers, sheds, etc. You have
visited this place so often you can walk through there blindfolded.

Then one day you go to another country far away. A local resident invites
you to visit his house. You go there with a totally open mind. Nothing about
the look of the place is familiar. The architecture is unfamiliar, the
contents of the house are all alien, the garden has tropical plants, and
nothing is recognisable. You walk through the place with very little real
interest. Then all of a sudden something hits you. As you walk, you are
thunderstruck by a powerful thought: you know what's at the end of that
passage! There's a slight dog leg and then a there's a toilet on the left.
Yes! The toilet also has a door on the other side, which takes you into the
garden! "I know another house which has that", you think. Just a coincidence
of course. You walk through and go into the garden. You walk into a hedge
and turn right. 10 meters on is a gap. You turn left - it's a maze!
Goosebumps appear and your spine tingles. That other place also has a maze
in the same place. And so you walk on through the garden and the house. Your
goosebumps begin to overwhelm you with a feeling of the ultimate creeps. You
shut your eyes and walk on. You turn right somewhere and when you open your
eyes you are exactly where you thought you you would be. You start running.
You almost panic. This is impossible! But you know you can't deny it. This
property was built by the same architect, although you are on the other side
of the world and the house was built four centuries later.

Some of you will no doubt think I'm deluded or plain crazy, but all I can do
is tell you as honestly as possible that Harry Potter is a matter of
recognition. I have seen only 5 sevenths of the property, but why should the
remaining 2 sevenths be any different?

In April last year I predicted what was to happen after book 4. I told you
about Harry becoming a great leader. To my own amazement on June 21 I read
the chapter about Dumbledore's Army. I told you about the Gate of Saturn.
There it was as the arch with the veil. I told you Harry's mental ego would
be liberated. And there it was: despite failing occlumency Harry freed his
mind from Voldemort. John Granger wrote to me recently telling me he envied
my prescience. Well I hasten to tell you all: I have no gift which anyone
should envy. There's nothing clever involved here. It's very simple:
RECOGNITION. It's just that I'm extremely familiar with the teachings of
liberation from the past and Harry Potter so far is IDENTICAL to those
teachings. If any of you had studied these teachings so you could follow
them with your eyes shut you too would recognise. 

It's possible that I will be proven wrong in books 6 & 7. But then it's
possible that tomorrow E will not equal mc squared. Or that the apple will
not fall down. Just because nature's laws have never changed over the last
billion years that's no guarantee it won't happen tomorrow.

Sorry about this rant, but I just HAD to explain my discovery. If the
moderators send me to Azkaban, good bye.
