Quotes:
Page 8. There are states of consciousness which transcend the normal, and when these states prevail, we can discern forms of existence with which normally we have no contact. All the seers are agreed on this point, and we may take it as being the fundamental experience from which occult science is derived.
[Psychology has demonstrated the importance and causative nature of factors present in the subconscious mind. Yet, most 'scientific' or 'academic' discussion seems to assume the unconscious and unconscious perceptions have no effects in the 'real', physical world.]
Page 8-9 ... It is the cumulative supernatural experience of the ages, perceived by means of the supernormal faculties sporadically developed in mankind, that forms the subject-matter of occult science and the data for its speculations.
