Book of Wisdom Insights on Occultism: Removing the Stigma
In modern society, the word "Occult" has been weaponized to trigger fear, suspicion, and visions of dark rituals or "devil worship." However, in the Book of Wisdom by Harry B Joseph, the word is returned to its original, neutral meaning. "Occult" simply means "Hidden."
The "Occult Sciences" are the study of the hidden mechanics of the universe—the invisible laws that operate behind the 10% of reality we can see with our physical eyes. In this article, we explore how the Revival of Wisdom curriculum removes the stigma and treats occultism as the ultimate "Science of the Soul."
Occultism as Anatomy
One of the most radical insights in the Book of Wisdom is that the "Great Occult Secrets" are not hidden in scrolls, but in the human body.
What it means: Joseph teaches that the "Gods" of ancient Egyptian or Greek mythology are not external beings; they are metaphors for the various glands and nervous centers in your own brain. "Occulting" this information was a way of protecting the powerful biological mechanics (like the Sacred Secretion) from those who would use the power for egoic domination without the required emotional maturity.
Removing the 'Good vs. Evil' Binary
Traditional religion relies on the "Good God vs. Evil Devil" narrative. The occult insights of the Book of Wisdom replace this with the Law of Polarity.
- High frequency vs. Low frequency.
- Master vs. Slave.
- Order vs. Chaos. Energy is neutral; it is the intent of the observer (you) that determines whether a force is "constructive" or "destructive." By studying occultism, you stop being a victim of "evil" and start being the one responsible for your own vibrational alignment.
The Matrix and the Occulting of Truth
Why has occult knowledge been so heavily stigmatized?
Harry B Joseph argues that the "Matrix" (the systems of social control) intentionally demonized occult studies to keep humanity in a state of survival-based ignorance. If you don't know the Law of Mentalism or the Secret of the Oil, you are forced to rely on external systems for your health, your money, and your spirit. Stigmatizing the occult was a strategic move to prevent individual sovereignty.
The Occult Language: Symbols and Geometry
To study the occult through the Book of Wisdom is to learn a new language.
- You learn that the Circle is the infinite.
- You learn that the Square is the physical manifestation (the 4 elements).
- You learn that the Triangle is the generative force. Occultism is the ability to walk down a city street and "read" the geometric intentions of the buildings and logos. It is like being the only literate person in a city of people who treat books as "evil" because they can't understand the letters.
Practical Section: The 'Occult Observer' Practice
To normalize your relationship with occult knowledge today:
- Pick one 'scary' symbol you've been taught to fear (e.g., an inverted triangle or an eye).
- Look up its geometric definition in the Book of Symbolism.
- Strip away the emotional label. See it only as a mathematical shape.
- Identify where that shape exists in nature (e.g., the way a leaf is shaped).
- Notice how the fear dissipates when you replace "Dogma" with "Geometry."
Conclusion: The Science of the Unseen
The insights on occultism in the Book of Wisdom are an invitation to become a "Scientist of the Spiritual." Harry B Joseph has provided the framework to explore the 90% of the iceberg that is hidden under the water. By removing the stigma, you gain access to the most powerful tools ever discovered for self-mastery, manifestation, and the final moves toward individual sovereignty.
