  1. Yeah, the old occultists thought very highly of themselves and the value of their "knowledge": they would routinely fudge, or lie--calling it a "blind"--to convey some particularly important knowledge without fearing it would fall into the hands of the "uninitiated" and produce bad karma that would then fall to those who produced the "unblinded" writings. So, it's like, everything in the writings is correctly conveyed, except the word "down" is changed to "up", completely changing the semantic value of the sentence, but supposedly preserving the correct knowledge in a form only properly decipherable by the initiated who possess the "key". My impression is that modern-day occultists understand better the virtual impossibility of someone without the requisite training activating/utilizing important occult knowledge successfully.
