parallel to occultism and reality
    #8011237 - 02/11/08 10:37 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I was reading a book a while back about the way of the Huna.. it was interesting for a while but about 1/2 way through the author began to attribute specific events to some phenomenon..

I thought that the material had become too dense with explanations relating to higher powers and whatnot, felt I had read more than enough and put down the book.

Now the thought occurs to me that the practices and the belief system presented in the book were nothing more than a metaphor or a gateway to the actual lesson, like is so often the case.

I'm relating back to a specific practice in the book that I can now see as being practical and having an effect, while it may understandably convince the pupil that the effects of the practice were channeled through this fantastic power.


The practice began by building yourself a personal amulet, power object sort of a thing and using it to translate messages from your subconscious to your conscious.

*If your conscious said Yes, the amulet (which would be hanging freely from your hand/s while resting in a comfortable position) would swing forward-and-backward and if it said no it would rock from side-to-side. Of course you had to ask your subconscious easy questions beforehand to decipher your unique language. From here, the language grows. In doing so you are able to converse with your subconscious and in turn learn a vast amount about yourself and the world around you.*

The book, through my interpretation, relied too heavily on attributing supernatural forces to different levels of experience. But this practice in particular, and at least, surely had an application.

You must talk to yourself and try to answer your questions a lot before you gain the capacity to answer questions acutely with a quiet and focused mind. The time you spend asking yourself questions first is time spent learning the language of yourself. Eventually, your mind develops a swing in which it connects more closely with what we call the subconscious and you gain an extra capacity for thought.

Occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden", and it's a good blanket term too.
