The meaning of the Occult
Welcome to the next iteration of my blog, seekers of the arcane!
Today, we unravel the meaning of 'occult'. The direct translation tells us that occult means 'hidden'. Over time, this word has evolved to signify 'hidden knowledge' or 'hidden truth' lying in the shadow of public teachings across various traditions. Religions, spiritual practices, esoteric disciplines, shamanism, alchemy, New Age, Wicca, witchcraft - they all have public teachings accessible to anyone and hidden teachings for the initiated.
Why the secrecy? This 'hidden truth' gives power to those who possess it. Rulers, elites, Illuminati, all want to keep this power exclusive and hidden. With time, these secrets were made public anyway - we all know that no one can really keep a secret for too long. But the truth remained hidden anyway - because it turns out that most people don't care for the truth.
Our mission is to awaken as many people as possible and spread the occult truth to those willing to listen and practice. So, what is this 'Occult Truth'? Simply put, the truth is that magic is real. Magic is a common denominator among influential figures - for example, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Christopher Nolan, or my favorite Grant Morrison. They all use magic to realize their dreams and attain happiness and liberation.
But what is magic? To quote Arthur C. Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Yes, magic is technology – all you need to do is follow instructions with a pinch of creativity. A broader definition I use is: "Magic is the science and art of changing reality according to your will, using technologies that seem supernatural."
Let's break this down:
Magic is a science, based on experimentation, observation, and data. Although it is an inner science, anyone can validate it for themselves.
Magic is an art because it requires creativity and intuition.
Every spell changes reality according to our will. Each ritual starts with a desire to make a change.
Lastly, magic is technology - the practical application of scientific knowledge that seems supernatural.
Now the catch, magic is not easy. It demands:
Knowledge – To apply a method, you need to understand it. As the saying goes, “Knowledge is power" - what you understand, you control.
Persistence – Gaining magical power requires persistence. It's a long journey, requiring discipline and regular study and practice. This is where most people quit.
Virtue – Magic is an inner technology. To change your outer world, you must master your inner world. You cannot expect a good outer world if you yourself are not good. Negative magic always backfires.
I hope this piques your curiosity and gives you a sense of what we'll be discussing here. Thank you for your attention, and have a splendid day!
See you next time, Felix.
And that's exactly what you misunderstood : you can't share experience and knowledge(wisdom).
The way to hell is full with good intentions...
The tool to rule themself's can only be knowledge, combined with experience.
That means, noone can give someone something, to take own responsibility.
All you do - if you don't want to rule them - is, you work for others, who have this agenda, and help them to do so. And until now, you did not know it.
That's now, when you read this, finished and gone.
I hope, you find another like you - who need your help ☺️
