What exactly is the occult?

Occultism is the study of practices including (but not limited to) magic, alchemy, extra-sensory perception, astrology, spiritualism, religion, and divination. Mankind fascination with it comes from a strong desire to reconcile the findings of modern natural science with a religious view that could restore man to a position of centrality and dignity in the universe. I am a firm believer in the occult as a necessary entity in the survival of mankind. That we cannot live with these fundamentals as a way of getting to a higher level where we can have a physical capability of living on a planet that is more paranormal than normal. The earth is not just a planet hovering in space for us human to live on. It is a mystical object occupying many realms simultaneously and there are measures that must be taken to make mankind survive as much as the planet. If mankind dies, earth dies and vice versa. We are connected through the magic and understanding of the occult.
Eliphas Levi is a great author to read to learn more. He was a respected occult teacher and warlock and gave us most of our modern understanding of its importance. Despite what people think, usually because of the blindness made by modern teachings, Christianity is an occult standpoint. A belief system where we pay much respect to spiritual things, as well as the magic of flesh and blood, and many prediction made not only in the bible, but christian scholars as well, and in a form of divine intervention. Yes Christianity is definitely well into the standpoint of occultism. The occult is our way of truly seeing things as it truly is, and not a doorway to evil as modern day believers make it out to be. The occult is truly what God is. Trust the occult.
