I'll see that, and raise you one. I contend that virtually every subject discussed at Deep Politics, and other similar forums, resolves quickly to hazy occult realms upon any serious minded investigation. That's my experience anyway, that's the nature of the reality we find ourselves in.
Curiouser and curiouser cried Alice.
Yes, an awful lot of the subjects do have that connection, I agree.
I agree also.
But how to make sense of it all?
Well now that's the million dollar question isn't it?

The art is to make conscious that which is unconscious; to make scrutable the inscrutable.
And that which is hidden is, of course, by definition always occult.
In the last analysis we are the occult and there is no escape from that fact. And therefore, a study of the occult is the study of ourselves.
Bingo, enter the Chapel Perilous.
David Guyatt Wrote: In the Levenda interview he rightly says that anyone wishing to study the occult seriously should spend a few years in psychological analysis prior to embarking on that journey because it is vital to work out any kinks in yourself, as otherwise the forces released in occult studies can be devastating (like Levenda I've seen it happen).
I've seen it too, that ain't no joke. Very serious business here. IMO there's also a very positive and empowering aspect in play here, but one must first make it through the gauntlet with sanity intact to reap the benefits. No small task.
This could take lifetimes to figure out, but how do you eat the elephant? One bite at a time. One thing I *do* know for sure, it's doable.
This thread has indeed strayed off the beaten path, but not so much as it may appear. We could easily flow right back to the ufo thing in one or two sentences, lots of simultaneous moving parts here.
