INTRODUCTION
The word occult merely means secret.
Occultism is the study of one or more of a variety of subjects that have been held secret from the public at large during some time in history. As these subjects become more and more available to the public, there is an increasing number of people who want to learn about them.
There have generally been two types of books which investigate the unusual phenomena found in occultism: those written by the unquestioning believers and others from unbelieving debunkers. Even today, book after book is published telling how great this or that psychic or channel
is. (A channel is a person who is capable of abandoning his or her body and allowing a non-physical entity to use the body for communicating with the physical world. A Spiritualistic medium is a type of channel who allows their body to be used by entities claiming to be the spirits of people no longer living. The distinction between these types of psychics has become blurred over the last few years. Also, whether these entities are whom they claim to be, are other entities, or are imagined manifestations of the subconscious is unknown. Very few books from the unquestioning believers try to prove to you that the psychic or channel is good or even honest. They just urge you to believe whatever the person they are studying says.
On the other hand, there have always been those who like to consider themselves rational thinkers
and delight in trying to disprove all claims of psychic phenomena. It is true that some of these authors do explain via scientific means seemingly supernatural events. As an example, using a hammer to break a large stone on a person’s stomach without harming that person is not accomplished by advanced yoga (or any other) paranormal techniques. Rather, it is an unusual and highly visual demonstration of the physical law that a body at rest tends to resist going into motion. In this case, the rock, which is resting stationary, resists going into motion as a result of the hammer blow. The stone absorbs the shock of the hammer and shatters without harming the person beneath.
Unfortunately, the debunkers do not stop with these types of proofs. Even today they write books whose only seeming purpose is to attack claims of the paranormal. They conveniently ignore or even falsify data that might dispute their viewpoint.
The interested reader is left with the problem of selecting books that either say everything you believe is correct,
or everything you believe is false.
There is no balanced position.
This is especially difficult for those who do believe in the existence of phenomena not currently understood by modern science. Thousands of years ago, medicine, physics, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, and relativity were understood only by those who delved into the mysterious, the occult. Today, many of these things are taught to children in elementary school. Back when they were secret, what can be called on the edge of science,
there were many frauds. Today, unfortunately, there are still some frauds
