THE LAWS OF OCCULTISM

C.C.Zain

Book One

"The word occult means that which is hidden. Occultism, consequently, is the science of hidden forces, and the art of subjecting such forces to human control. Its subjects are not directly apprehended by the five senses upon which the physical scientist relies for all knowledge."

The line separating occult science from physical science continually changes.

"The line of demarcation between that which is called occult, is therefore constantly changing, for scientists every now and then invent a device by which some hitherto occult force is made directly perceptible to the physical senses. It is then no longer considered occult.

Not long since, for instance, the power of the lodestone was held to be occult. Indeed, so far as any knowledge of its nature is concerned, the physical scientist should include the force of gravitation in the occult category; for they admit it operates across immense space in which there is nothing that can be apprehended by the five senses, yet fail to explain by what hidden means the force is transmitted.
