Occult is defined as "involving the supernatural , mystical".
The ancient Indians believed that the human existence on the earth is "MAYA" (an illusion). That birth and rebirth are just a "cleansing process" for an ultimate world beyond. To most people this may not be a very comforting thought !
Is there a world beyond ?
A cousin of mine once lived in a girls hostel in All Saints in Nainital (in Uttarakhand himalayas, India).There she came across some girls participating in a SEANCE (Seance means a meeting at which a spiritualist attempts to make a contact with the dead). Her friend told her that, in a seance where this friend was present, a question was asked (to the 'spirit' present in the room) as to where that spirit lives 'now' ?
The answer was : 'in between in the layers of atmosphere . . . cannot state more'.
Human curiosity to know the unknown is such that people still indulge in SEANCES the world over. In the Uttarakhand region of himalayas India it is known as "JAGAR " and is widely practiced even in the 21st century !!.
There is however always the scope for doubt. How do you, for example, know if the person who is 'revealing the truth' is really in touch with anything supernatural ? He may be just applying his intuition in a state of self-induced hypnotism ! Or just fooling the spectators.
Can we brush aside the supernatural as a FAKE phenomenon ?
If you think that science has all the answers you are wrong. That our human body has an electromagnetic field was known to the Indian yogi all along. You can find it mentioned in yogi Ramcharak's books written in late 19th and early 20th centuries. But science denied it until 1954.
More than a century back there was an American lawyer by the name of
William walker Atkinson. He later became a mystic and went into publication business, publishing a
magazine dealing with yoga and mysticism and churning out articles
after articles, books after books of the highest value. Though he never acknowledged it, a great number of masterpieces authored by yogi Ramcharak that were published by his publication company were infact written by this william walker Atkinson himself under the pseudonym of Yogi Ram Charak. Here is an excerpt from wikipedia about this great man:
"William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was
an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi
Ramacharaka . [1]
(excerpt from wikipedia)
Books on yoga and occult by Yogi Ram Charak were exceptionally well written and dealt with the subject in a depth and with a clarity rarely seen except in the books written by Swami Vivekanand. His "Fourteen lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental occultism" is a masterpiece for its mindblowing information on human being's awesome hidden powers and the world beyond.
