The Art of Occultism: The Secrets of High Occultism & Inner Exploration (The Sacred Mystery Book 2)

This has nothing to do with Satanic practices or a union with the devil.This is not a book for the closed mind that wilfully follow an authority.If you methodically take time to read through it is the path of shining light for all humans to take at some point in there lives.For me this book will be my companion for the rest of my life it is a book full of love and optimism.

A very succinct book. I gravitated towards this one rather than the "art of mysticism"; a personal choice! I tried both!Found it to be similar to roseacrution and similar teachings but much more succinct. So, for this reason, you may need to take your time with this book.Like all occult teachings; it's a practice to become closer to the devine presence (god, if you will). Nothing to do with the devil, or whatever an uneducated person of extreme views may believe.Well worth a read to the open minded!

Possibly a better book than the star grading. Irritated by the male pronouns, to such an extent, it coloured my impression.

Gabriyell Sarom is an inspiring author. His three books can be considered simple and elaborated at the same time. Simple because they go straight to the point: they explain the what, why, and how of Occultism, Mysticism, and Magick. Elaborated because although occult practices are explained straightforwardly, and without fanfare, they do require a deeper understanding, dedication, and earnestness to be successful at them (and let’s not kid ourselves----they need years to grasp and master).You will read what you need to read and learn how to apply it, and the rest is left up to you. There’s no dogma, no preaching, no condescendence or disdain for other spiritual paths, disciplines, or teachings. It is very secular and shines a light on a multitude of obscure themes, always directing them towards what matters (the depth of your own self).But it certainly and directly denounces religion for having lost its original purpose and path whilst yet clinging to nonsensical dogma (which is seen in some of the reviews posted here claiming that this book is a “satanic” or “demonic” work. Such comments are so far away from what this book is and presents that I’m led to believe that those who wrote them haven’t read this book.)This book suggests that the goal of the Occultist (“High Occultist”) is to discover one’s own divine essence by making visible what seems to be occult, i.e., by bringing our own divine essence and God-consciousness to the foreground of our knowledge. This leads to the renaissance of the human psyche, transforming the mind and body into a higher spiritual yet functional version.However, throughout the book, it is clear that only occultists who are pure in heart and intention can successfully embark on this journey.As it says in the book: “Humans are born and die without tasting the natural divine rapture of life.” But it also shows the key to overcome such a fate: “Through occult and mystical practice, the student will open the gates to his celestial essence, finding his home in the unseen, yet more real than the seen.”I recommend this book as it illuminates the straightforward path of Occultism towards the ultimate conquest in Creation. It’s one of those books that you want to always have at hand, or even to gift to a friend who has heard about these subjects but couldn’t find a competent and suitable explanatory book. The whole series does a great job, and it will stay in my mystical collection.
