Is nothing whatever to do with anything Satanic or bad. Just like in the sticky herein it refers to things which are hidden.
Are there any occultists here on this forum? Judge by the dates of last entries on the right there are few.
Does an occultist believe in God? Sure why not?
Does an occultist speak of the Christ? Yes... Indeed the Christ, through the man Jesus, was fully engaged with "things that lay beneath".
Who practices "occulted esotericism? It will be she/he who has learned to look beyond the surface. In religious scripture there is a great need for this.
I am the sort of occultist/esotericist who values religious practices for what they reveal about humanity. Consider Christianity? In both the new and old testaments there are layers of truth. Parables are used to great effect in the new. The old uses another method to teach. In the old we find truths cloaked in mysticism. On the surface they require a high degree of faith but when one looks further inside the superficial aspects are discarded. What is left for us to see? Well that depends upon our spiritual age.
Few of us have any interest in these things. The believer concentrates on scripture as it is. The occultist allways looks inside, underneath, behind and above.
Is scripture the word of God? Yes. Are they literal? No. Now, in humanity, we see two camps, two bodies of believers, already separated. Is this God's fault? No. The reason for it is simple. No two humans are the same.
That's enough for now. I know. I know. I tend to ramble when I speak.
Peace to us all...
