We cannot revert our minds these days, but
we hear of the occult. Occultism, in various
forms, is becoming in a tremendous and may be
dangerous sense the fad of the world. The dan-
ger is evident in the important fact that the occult
is so glibly handled by those who know it
so little. There are those even like a child,
ignorantly playing with fire, employ occultism for
commercial and selfish purposes, and hourly curse
themselves through the law of reflection. They
invariably become neurasthenic.
Occultism, in no sense, signifies the tinkling of astral bells, the gibberings of earthbound souls, and similar mob-attracting phenomena. The greatest occultist is the greatest child; the greatest occult vision, the vision of the spirit; the greatest occult deed and rarest, the unselfish deed. Thrice blessed by the Karmic Deities are such who, in unison with the True White Brotherhood, per- form the simplest act of kindness, and employ the higher senses and the soul-faculties in a sim- ple, humble spirit for the benefit of the fellow- man.
