I don't like secrets...any secrets. I don't indulge in magic beliefs or the ilk. I studied religions all I could personally tolerate and can see how all that eventually leads to seeking to knowing God and seeking to become like God. To me what we have here is a dark hole where everyone seeks to claw their way out, some manage to get out and are considered to be insane. The rest simply fall back in and are content to live in a dream land. Some folk actually wake-up and may choose to live in two worlds like me but then I have prior experience spanning thousands of years. Your interest in the occult... that is going to take work on your part. ACIM.com and Urantia.com can answer those occult questions nicely.
