Virtually everything we know today was occult only a few years ago. Occult conjures up a very uncomfortable feeling for many who have never bothered to check their dictionary. Simply put it means something that is unknown to someone.
Auto mechanics is occult to a brain surgeon as is flight to a turtle.
The reason for elaborating the word and subject is to explain how we have been cheated from a large body of knowledge and a complete understanding of how it applies to our health and well being. The power of what was held in trust by the shamans, priests and healers of the past was and is the most powerful knowledge ever acquired by man. The true potential lies in its ability to heal or damage others and must only be possessed by fully responsible individuals. To the uninitiated every aspect of every endeavor is an unknown until it is learned and understood. From that moment on it is accepted and utilized beneficially except in the hands of the irresponsible.
