Generally speaking, Occult Science deals with the evolution of Man and the Earth through science and magick’s.
1: A catalogue raisonné of works on the occult sciences, Frederick Leigh Gardner (1903)
Although titled 'Rosicruciana' the volume could perhaps better have been called 'Hermetica,' given the breadth of the subjects it covers: Alchemy, Kabbalah, Magic, Freemasonry, Theosophy etc. - and of course Rosicrucianism. The author, Frederick Leigh Gardner (1857 – 1930) was a member of both the S.R.I.A., and the Golden Dawn, which he joined in March 1894. He was a close associate of W. Wynn Westcott, who provided the Introduction for the work. The book remains a useful reference and also gives an insight into the sort of occult treasures to which these men had access. At present an original copy is selling on the internet for $95.
2: A New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences, Ebenezer Sibly (1787)
Ebenezer Sibly (1751-1800), famous 18th century British astrologer, is probably best known for his famous horoscope for the birth of the USA, published in 1787. The first three books of his New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences are devoted to astrology, including many horoscopes for famous persons. The book included in this package, Book 4, deals with other occult sciences. One of the few sources that Sibly names is Emanuel Swedenborg, who’s Heaven and Hell first appeared in 1758. Other sources, while not named, can be identified. Much of the material was taken from the (expanded) 1665 edition of Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft, including the information on Pah-li-Pah and other spirits. The engraving of magical instruments was redrawn from those found in Scot.
3: Occult Chemistry, Investigations by Clairvoyant Magnification, Annie Wood Besant and C. W. Leadbeater (1919)
THIS work contains a record of clairvoyant investigations into the structure of matter. The observations were carried out at intervals over a period of nearly forty years, the first in August 1895 and the last in October 1933. The two investigators, Annie Besant (18471933) and C. W. Leadbeater (18471934) were trained clairvoyants and well equipped to check and supplement each other's work.
4: Occult Science Dictatorship, William Lyne
The author contends that there is an occult (i.e.,"hidden") scientific thought-control dictatorship, maintained by coercive-monopolist interest, a monolithic mass media, a compliant government, grant-beholden universities and institutions, robotic government know-it-alls, and armies of covert propagandists, and that this covert authoritarian system manufactures opinion, enforces "rules", punishes "violators", and controls scientific thought in society.
This reign of thought-terror makes it difficult for creative individuals to express divergent scientific views without being virtually burned at the stake by thought-control zombies, who have fallen victim to the pressure to believe the mind-crippling theories Big Brother wants them to.
Lyne chisels away a shell of quasi-religious "scientific" superstitions which have ossified into scientific orthodoxy, to expose the soft underbelly of Relativist pseudo-science, which has masqueraded as absolute, immutable truth for almost a century. In sycophancy to entrenched, archaic corporate-state interest, this occult dictatorship has established the virtual energy-enslavement of the common man/woman. Lyne points the way out, and even includes some novel scientific discoveries.
5: Occult Science in Medicine, Franz Hartman (1893)
Because of their profound occult knowledge, mystic physicians have always treated both the cause (physical) and symptoms (psychic) of diseases. Contents: Introduction; The Constitution of Man; The Four Pillars of Medicine; The Five Causes of Disease; The Five Classes of Physicians; and The Medicine of the Future. Valuable reading for medical practitioners and anyone interested in holistic healing.
Excerpt: THE FOUR PILLARS OF MEDICINE. The pillars upon which the practice of modern medicine rests, are: — i. A knowledge of the physical body of man, the arrangements of its organs (anatomy), their physiological functions (physiology) and the visible changes which take place in them when a disease becomes manifest (pathology). 2. A certain amount of acquaintance with physical science, chemistry, botany, mineralogy, etc., in fact with all that embodies knowledge of the outward relations which the things in this phenomenal world bear to each other and to the body of man, (therapeutics). 3. A certain amount of acquaintance with the views and opinions of modern accepted medical authorities, however erroneous they may be. 4. A certain amount of judgment and aptitude to put the acquired theories into practice. All this is very well as far as it goes ; but it may be seen at once that all the knowledge required of a modern practitioner refers only to the external plane of existence; the animal body of man and its physical surroundings. As to a science of " psychology," to call that which goes by that name as such at present, is a misnomer; for there can be no science of the soul as long as the existence of a soul (psyche) is not recognized. The invisible, spiritual or causal body within the nature of man is entirely Only very recently in the courts of Vienna during a sensational trial in regard to the state of Nan compos mentis, concerning a nobleman, who left a considerable fortune to his servants, the total ignorance of the experts on "psychology" regarding all matters concerning the soul, and their total incapacity to judge of the character and motives of a person, became so plain and was exposed in such a ludicrous manner, that it became the public opinion,
6: An Outline of Occult Science, Rudolf Steiner (1909)
Human understanding, as it works in everyday life and in ordinary science, is actually so constituted that it cannot penetrate into super physical worlds. This may be proven beyond the possibility of denial. But this proof can have no more value for a certain kind of soul-life than the proof one would use in showing that man's natural eye cannot, with its visual faculty, penetrate to the smallest cells of a living being, or to the constitution of far-off celestial bodies.
