The
Occult World
By
Alfred
Percy Sinnett
Theosophy Wales are
pleased to present this
Tour
de Force of esoteric writing.
The
Occult World is an treatise on the Occult and Occult Phenomena, presented in
readable style,
by
an early giant of the Theosophical Movement.
Alfred
Percy Sinnett and his wife Patience were personally invited to join the
Theosophical
Society
by the founder of modern Theosophy,
Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky herself
Theosophists nowadays hesitate to use the
word “Occult” as it has been kicked around, adapted
and reworked to suit many purposes and
contexts.
A P Sinnett uses the word to describe the
study
of a deeper spiritual reality that extends
beyond
rigid rational thinking and the accepted
boundaries of the physical sciences.
The Occult
World
By
A P Sinnett
Introduction
THERE is a
For, strange as
the statement will appear at first sight, modern metaphysics, and to a large
extent modern physical science, have been groping for centuries blindly after
knowledge which occult philosophy has enjoyed in full measure all the while.
Owing to a train of fortunate circumstances, I have come to know that
this is the case; I have come into some contact with persons who are heirs of a
greater knowledge concerning the mysteries of Nature and humanity than modern
culture has yet evolved; and my present wish is to sketch the outlines of this
knowledge, to record with exactitude the experimental proofs I have obtained
that occult science invest its adepts with a control of natural forces superior
to that enjoyed by physicists of the ordinary type, and the grounds there are
for bestowing the most respectful consideration on the theories entertained by
occult science concerning the constitution and destinies of the human soul.
Of course
people in the present day will be slow to believe that any knowledge worth
considering can be found outside the bright focus of Western culture. Modern
science has accomplished grand results by the open method of investigation, and
is very impatient of the theory that persons who ever attained to real
knowledge, either in sciences or metaphysics, could have been content to hide
their light under a bushel. So the tendency has been to conceive that occult
philosophers of old- Egyptian priests, Chaldean Magi, Essenes, Gnostics,
theurgic Neo-Platonists, and the rest-who kept their knowledge secret, must
have adopted that policy to conceal the fact that they knew very little.
Mystery can only have been loved by charlatans who wished to mystify.
The conclusion
is pardonable from the modern point of view, but it has given rise to an
impression in the popular mind that the ancient mystics have actually been
turned inside out, and found to know very little. This impression is absolutely
erroneous. Men of science in former ages worked in secret, and instead of
publishing their discoveries, taught them in secret to carefully selected
pupils. Their motives for adopting that policy are readily intelligible, even
if the merits of the policy may seem still open to discussion. At all events,
their teaching has not been forgotten; it has been transmitted by secret
initiation to men of our own time, and while its methods and its practical
achievements remain secrets in their hands, it is open to any patient and
earnest student of the question to satisfy himself that these methods are of
supreme efficacy, and these achievements far more admirable than any yet
standing to the credit of modern science.
For the secrecy
in which these operations have been shrouded has never disguised their
existence, and it is only in our own time that this has been forgotten.
Formerly at great public ceremonies, the initiates displayed the powers with
which their knowledge of natural laws invested them. We carelessly assume that
the narratives of such displays describe performances of magic: we have decided
that there is no such thing as magic, therefore the narratives must have been
false, the persons whom they refer to, impostors. But supposing that magic, of
old, was simply the science of magi, of learned men, there is no magic, in the
modern sense, left in the matter. And supposing that such science- even in
ancient times already the product of long ages of study- had gone in some
directions further than our much younger modern science has yet reached, it is
reasonable to conclude that some displays in connection with ancient mysteries
may have been strictly scientific experiments, though they sound like displays
of magic, and would look like displays of magic for us now if they could be
repeated.
On that
hypothesis modem sagacity applying modem knowledge to the subject of ancient
mysteries, may be merely modem folly evolving erroneous conclusions from modem
ignorance.
But there is no need to construct hypotheses in the matter. The facts are
accessible if they are sought for in the right way, and the facts are these:
The wisdom of the ancient world-science and religion commingled, physics and
metaphysics combined- was a reality, and it still survives. It is that which
will be spoken of in these pages as Occult Philosophy. It was already a
complete system of knowledge that had been cultivated in secret, and handed
down to initiates for ages, before its professors performed experiments in
public to impress the popular mind in
Modern science
has discovered the circulation of the blood; occult science understands the
circulation of the life-principle. Modem physiology deals with the body only;
occultism with the soul as well- not as the subject of vague, religious
rhapsodies; but it is an actual entity, with properties that can be examined in
combination with, or apart from, those of the body.
It is chiefly
in the East that occultism is still kept up in
2
My narrative of
events must be preceded by some further general explanations, or it would be
unintelligible. The identity of occultism as practised in all ages, must be
kept in view, to account for the magnitude of its organization, and for the
astounding discovery that secluded Orientals may understand more about
electricity than Faraday, more about physics than Tyndall. The culture of
Its main
strength has been devoted to metaphysical inquiry, and to the latent
psychological faculties in man, faculties which, in their development, enable
the occultist to obtain actual experimental knowledge concerning the soul's
condition of extra-corporeal existence. There is thus something more than a
mere archaeological interest in the identification of the occult system with
the doctrines of the initiated organisations in all ages of the world's
history, and we are presented by this identification with the key to the
philosophy of religious development.
Occultism is
not merely an isolated discovery showing humanity to be possessed of certain
powers over Nature, which the narrower study of Nature from the merely
materialistic standpoint has failed to develop; it is an illumination cast over
all previous spiritual speculation worth anything, of a kind which knits
together some apparently divergent systems. It is to spiritual philosophy much
what Sanskrit was found to be to comparative philology ; it is a common stock
of philosophical roots. Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism and the Egyptian
theology are thus brought into one family of ideas. Occultism, as it is no now
invention, is no specific sect, but the professors of no sect can afford to
dispense with the sidelights it throws upon the conception of Nature and Man's
destinies which they may have been induced by their own specific faith to form;
occultism, in fact, must be recognised by anyone who will take the trouble to
put before his mind clearly the problems with which it deals, as a study of the
most sublime importance to every man who cares to live a life worthy of his human
rank in creation, and who can realise the bearing on ethics of certain
knowledge concerning his own survival after death.
It is one thing
to follow the lead of a hazy impression that a life beyond the grave, if there is
one, may be somehow benefited by abstinence from wrongdoing on this side; it
will clearly be another to realise if that can be shown to be the case, that
the life beyond the grave must, with the certainty of a sum total built up of a
series of plus and minus quantities, be the final expression of the use made of
opportunities in this.
I have said
that the startling importance of occult knowledge turns on the manner in which
it affords exact and experimental knowledge concerning spiritual things which
under all other systems must remain the subject of speculation or blind
religious faith. It may be further asserted that occultism shows that the
harmony and smooth continuity of Nature observable in physics extend to those
operations of Nature that are concerned with the phenomena of metaphysical
existence.
Before
approaching an exposition of the conclusions concerning the nature of man that
occult philosophy has reached, it may be worth while to meet an objection that
may perhaps be raised by the reader on the threshold of the subject. How is it
that conclusions of such great weight have been kept the secret property of a
jealous body of initiates.
Is it not a law
of progress that truth asserts itself and courts the free air and light ? Is it
reasonable to suppose that the greatest of all truths-the fundamental basis of
truth concerning man and Nature- should be afraid to show itself? With what
object could the ancient professors of, or proficients in, occult philosophy
keep the priceless treasures of their researches to themselves ?
Now, it is no
business of mine to defend the extreme tenacity with which the proficients in
occultism have hitherto not only shut out the world from the knowledge of their
knowledge, but have almost left it in ignorance that such knowledge exists [ See Appendix A.]. It is enough here to point out that
it would be foolish to shut our eyes to a revelation that may now be partially
conceded, merely because we are piqued at the behaviour of those who have been
in a position to make it before, but have not chosen to do so.
Nor would it be
wiser to say that the reticence of the occultists so far discredits anything we
may now be told about their acquirements. When the sun is actually shining it
is no use to say that its light is discredited by the behaviour of the
barometer yesterday. I have to deal, in discussing the acquirements of
occultism, with facts that have actually taken place, and nothing can discredit
what is known to be true.
No doubt it
will be worth while later on to examine the motives which have rendered the
occultists of all ages so profoundly reserved. And there may be more to say in
justification of the course that has been pursued than is visible at the first
glance. Indeed, the reader will not go far in an examination of the nature of
the powers which proficients in occultism actually possess, without seeing that
it is supremely desirable to keep back the practical exercise of such powers
from the world at large. But it is one thing to deny mankind generally the key
which unlocks the mystery of occult power; it is another to withhold the fact
that there is a mystery to unlock.
However, the
further discussion of that question here would be premature. Enough for the
present to take note of the fact that secrecy after all is not complete if
external students of the subject are enabled to learn as much about the
mysteries as I shall have to tell. Manifestly, there is a great deal more
behind, but, at all events, a great deal is to be learned by inquirers who will
set to work in the right way, and that which may now be learned is no new
revelation at last capriciously extended to the outer world for the first time.
In former
periods of history , a great deal more has been known about the nature of
occultism by the world at large than is known at this moment to the modern
West.
The bigotry of
modem civilization, and not the jealousy of the occultist, is to blame if the
European races are at this moment more generally ignorant of the extent to
which psychological research has been carried, than the Egyptian populace in
the past, or the people of India in the present day. As regards the latter,
amongst whom the truth of the theory just suggested can easily be put to the
test, you will find the great majority of Hindus perfectly convinced of the
truth of the main statements which I am about to put forward.
They do not
generally or readily talk about such subjects with Europeans, because these are
so prone to stupid derision of views they do not understand or believe in already.
The Indian native is very timid in presence of such ridicule. But it does not
affect in the slightest degree the beliefs which rest in his own mind on the
fundamental teaching he will always have received, and in many cases on odds
and ends of experiences he may himself have had.
The Hindus are
thus well aware, as a body, of the fact that there are persons who by entire
devotion to certain modes of life acquire unusual powers in the nature of such
as Europeans would very erroneously call supernatural. They are quite familiar
with the notion that such persons live secluded lives, and are inaccessible to
ordinary curiosity, and that they are none the less approachable by fit and
determined candidates for admission to occult training. Ask any cultivated
Hindu if he has ever heard of Mahatmas and Yog Vidya or occult science, and it
is a hundred to one that you will find he has-and, unless he happens to be one
of the hybrid products of Anglo-Indian Universities, that he fully believes in
the reality of the powers ascribed to Yoga.
It does not
follow that he will at once say " Yes" to a European asking the
question. He will probably say just the reverse from the apprehension I have
spoken of above, but push your questions home and you will discover the truth,
as I did, for example, in the case of a very intelligent English-speaking
native vakeel in an influential position and in constant relations with high
European officials, last year.
At first my new
acquaintance met my inquiries as to whether he knew anything about these
subjects with a wooden look of complete ignorance, and an explicit denial of
any knowledge as to what I meant at all. It was not till the second time I saw
him in private, at my own house, that by degrees it grew upon him that I was in
earnest, and knew something about Yoga myself, and then he quietly opened out
his real thoughts on the subject, and showed me that he knew not only perfectly
well what I meant all along, but was stocked with information concerning
occurrences and phenomena of an occult or apparently supernatural order, many
of which had been observed in his own family and some by himself.
The point of
all this is that Europeans are not justified in attributing to the jealousy of
the occultists the absolute and entire ignorance of all that concerns them
which pervades the modern society of the West. The West has been occupied with
the business of material progress to the exclusion of psychological
development. Perhaps it has done best for the world in confining itself to its
specially, but however this may be, it has only itself to blame if its
concentration of purpose has led to something like retrogression in another
branch of development.
Jacolliot, a
French writer, who has dealt at great length with various phases of Spiritism
in the East, was told by one who must have been an adept to judge by the
language used: " You have studied physical Nature, and you have obtained
through the laws of Nature marvellous results- steam, electricity, etc.,etc. For
twenty thousand years or more we have studied the intellectual forces; we have
discovered their laws, and we obtain, by making them act alone or in concert
with matter, phenomena still more astonishing than your own." Jacolliot
adds: " We have seen things such as one does not describe for fear of
making his readers doubt his intelligence......... but still we have seen
them."
3
Occult
phenomena must not be confused with the phenomena of spiritualism. The latter, whatever
they may be, are manifestations which mediums can neither control nor
understand in a scientific sense. The former are achievements of a conscious,
living operator comprehending the laws with which he works. If these
achievements appear miraculous, that is the fault of the observer's ignorance.
The
spiritualist knows perfectly well, in spite of ignorant mockery on the part of
outsiders content to laugh without knowing what they are laughing at, that all
kinds of occurrences distinctly outside the range of physical causation do
constantly take place for inquirers who hunt them with sufficient diligence.
But he has never been able to do more than frame hypotheses in respect to the
hidden laws of Nature by virtue of which they have been produced.
He has taken up
a certain hypothesis faute de mieux in the first instance, and working
always on this idea, has constructed such an elaborate edifice of theory round
the facts that he is very reluctant to tolerate the interposition of a new
hypothesis which will oblige him to revise his conclusions in some very
important particulars. There will be no way of avoiding this necessity,
however, if he belongs to the order of inquirers who care rather to be sure
they have laid hold of the truth than to fortify a doctrine they have espoused
for better or for worse.
Broadly
speaking, there is scarcely one of the phenomena of spiritualism that adepts in
occultism cannot reproduce by the force of their own will, supplemented by a
comprehension of the resources of Nature. As will be seen when I come to a
direct narrative of my own experiences, I have seen some of the most familiar
phenomena of spiritualism produced by purely human agency. The old original
spirit-rap which introduced the mightier phenomena of spiritualism has been
manifested for my edification in a countless variety of ways, and under
conditions which render the hypothesis of any spiritual agency in the matter
wholly preposterous. I have seen flowers fall from the blank ceiling of a room
under circumstances that gave me a practical assurance that no spiritual agency
was at work, though in a manner as absolutely " supernatural" in the
sense of being produced without the aid of any material appliances, as any of
the floral showers by which some spiritual mediums are attended. I have over
and over again received " direct writing," produced on paper in
sealed envelopes of my own, which was created or precipitated by a living human
correspondent. I have information, which, though second-hand, is very
trustworthy, of a great variety of other familiar spiritual phenomena produced
in the same way by human adepts in occultism.
But it is not
my present task to make war on spiritualism. The announcements I have to make
will, indeed, be probably received more readily among spiritualists than in the
outer circles of the ordinary world, for the spiritualists are at all events
aware, from their own experience, that the orthodox science of the day does not
know the last word concerning mind and matter, while the orthodox outsider
stupidly clings to a denial of facts when these are of a nature which he
foresees himself unable to explain. As the facts of spiritualism, though
accessible to any honest man who goes in search of them, are not of a kind
which anyone can carry about and fling in the faces of pragmatic"
sceptics," these latter are enabled to keep up their professions of
incredulity without the foolishness of their position being obvious to each
other, plain as it is to" the initiated." However, although in this
way the ordinary scientific mind will be reluctant to admit either the
trustworthiness of my testimony or the conceivability of my explanations, it
may allay some hostile prejudices to make clear at the onset that occult
science deals with no guesswork concerning the post-mortem intervention of
human beings in the affairs of this world. Its methods are as precise, and its
mental discipline as rigid, as those of the laboratory or the university
lecture-room. Wedding with theosophic research, spiritualism itself might guard
itself from all those hasty inferences which have done so much to turn large
sections of the cultivated people against it, and if they will but take the
trouble to approach the subject from the point of view of occult science,
students of physical Nature will be enabled at last to handle the phenomena
of spiritualism freely, to consider them apart from the theories to which they
have prematurely given rise ; and thus relieved of the repugnance they feel for
them at present, to bring them within the area of that which they at last will
willingly recognise as true scientific generalisations.
