Occult Science - Secrets Revealed
Author: Ronald Pearce

THERE has been for some time a call for a volume, simple
and explanatory in style, that shall give the rudiments of
what is termed Occult Science. Occult Law is simply
unrevealed natural law; hidden, because until recently the
world has been entirely satisfied with things, as they
seemed, with the external and superficial. There are many
involved and expensive books dealing with this most
interesting, instructive, and fascinating subject, but
because they are prepared for those who have had previous
instruction, they are not adapted to the needs of the
thousands of people who are for the first time touched by
the wing of the spirit of knowledge that now seems to be
brooding and descending upon the earth.

The influence of the Domains, Zodiacal Signs, Planets, and
Stars has been recognized and understood by certain wise
men for thousands of years, but the esoteric part of occult
law has been known only to the initiated of certain nations
and secret orders. The signs and wonders described by so
many travelers in the East have attracted wide attention,
but these phenomena have borne as small a relation to the
real philosophy of occultism as the slate writing of the
modern medium bears to true Spiritualism.

The quickening spirit is here. Even the usually thoughtless
and indifferent open their eyes a little wider sometimes,
and stop long enough in their money-grubbing and shopping
to wonder what it all means. Competent teachers in mental
and spiritual subjects are busy in our towns and cities,
instructing great classes of students who hunger and thirst
for the truths that make for peace and happiness.
Dissatisfaction with old methods and theories and creeds
meet us at every hand. Light has flashed upon the dark
idols, and they are revealed in all their hideousness. A
far-off God and a remote heaven are no longer attractive.
The quickening spirit has breathed a thought to those who
have ears to hear and hearts to feel, of the Eternal Now,
and a God and a heaven in every human soul. The dogmatic
absurdities of learned men are passing away. Every power of
heaven and earth is friendly to a noble and courageous
activity.

To find out some of the causes previously ignored by the
majority—even of the so-called educated and
cultured—- that affect for good or ill the lives of
the inhabitants of the earth, has now become a vital
necessity. To this end this volume is prepared, and it is
hoped that it will give the student a basis upon which to
build, as well as the ability to comprehend the sublime
truths, which every neophyte will more earnestly desire
than anything that the world can offer.

An acquaintance with the Domains and Signs of the Zodiac
places in the hands of every intelligent person a strong
overcoming force. The first effect of this knowledge is the
birth of a new charity, not only for one's neighbors but
for oneself. "Receiving a new truth is adding a new sense.
Right wrongs no man." We find that there is a reason for
certain traits of character, certain passions and
weaknesses "which have burdened all the conflict and
hindered all the fight." The friends whom one has
criticized and blamed have the same reason as ourselves for
their peculiarities and unsatisfactory conduct. The next
effect is the assurance that, having penetrated to the
cause, it is possible to find a remedy for the conditions
that have formerly ruled our lives. Many of us have laughed
at what we were pleased to call the superstitions of our
grandparents, especially of our grandmothers, as expressed
in their devotion to the Signs of the Zodiac. Fevers
turned, the sick recovered or died, children were weaned,
houses bought and sold, according to some arrangement of
the circle with the queer beasts and the much-pierced man
that held a place in all the almanacs of the period. Some
of us have found out a few things since, and one is that it
is the part of wisdom not to sneer at or condemn the things
which we do not understand.
