Some religious denominations view the occult as being anything supernatural or paranormal which is not achieved by or through the man made version of God that is described in the Bible or other religious teachings, and is therefore considered the work of an opposing and malevolent entity, so that the word [[Occult]] has negative connotations for many people. However, this is not an accurate understanding of the real meaning of occult or hidden knowledge of how the energy matrix works. Thus, it has come to be popularly used to mean “knowledge of the paranormal” (as opposed to science, or the knowledge of the measurable), or “knowledge meant only for certain people" or "knowledge that must be kept hidden". <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult Occult]</ref> | ||

Seeking spiritual truth is the path of [[Gnosis]], by experiencing the [[Natural Laws]] inherent in the consciousness principles that govern our reality. Spiritual truth cannot generally be defined in exacting words, but must be directly experienced and lived by each individual. However, the basis of perceiving truth in the matter is simply understanding that it is what it is, as the accurate assessment of events that have occurred around us in the past or present time. To gain a greater understanding of truth, we must understand that truth is first, accurately perceiving events that are presently occurring. This means we must know or see when we are being deceived or lied to, in order to obfuscate the factual events of reality. | Seeking spiritual truth is the path of [[Gnosis]], by experiencing the [[Natural Laws]] inherent in the consciousness principles that govern our reality.
