  1. If you have in mind a sufficiently involved spiritual hierarchy, esoteric philosophy can be hella spooky! If we weren't shielded by our perceptual ignorance of the hyper-dimensionality that surrounds us, the sensory input would drive most people insane. Most occult dabblers just poke holes in this shielding, exposing themselves to the risk of imbalance/insanity, for the thrill of contacting the unknown that has plagued their borderline conscious awareness for as long as they can remember...like an itch in their brains. The internal drive to know what's hidden is the most important aspect of the pursuit of "occultism". "Fear is the mind killer."--Dune
