The Sacred Mystery #2
The Art of Occultism: The Secrets of High Occultism & Inner Exploration
The Step-by-step practical guide to Occultism and Inner Exploration
A colossal fence has been raised separating our current society from the flow of life and magic that permeates the whole of Creation. Humanity is gradually succeeding in its self-destruction, asphyxiating itself through the suppression of what is beyond the mere five physical senses. The art of Occultism has been forgotten.
In fact, Occultism has been despised, ridiculed and denigrated into a mere fantasy, make-believe or magical thinking. This book brings this ancient secret tradition back to life using a contemporary yet powerful method.
This is a book centered on occult practices. Here you will find detailed occult practices that will assist you in exploring the subtle inner nonphysical realms, culminating in the unveiling of the highest mystery of Occultism.
The occult practices are divided into primary and secondary phases which include, but are not limited
1. Concentration & Control of Awareness2. The Power of Imagination & Intention3. Creating an Occult Laboratorium4. Steady Inner & Outer Gaze5. Burning the Shadow of Fear6. Infusing Vital Energy & Chakras7. Deep Trance States8. Discovering the Inner Temple9. Inner Body Travel10. Divine Infusion11. Discovery and communion with the Higher Self12. Beyond the Form of Divinity13. Interaction with Nonphysical Beings14. Evocations15. High OccultismWe sincerely hope the reader enjoys this work and that it may serve as the catalyst for the discovery of the Occult.

This is the third book of a four volume set that I have read from the author. Like the first two books, it was straight and to the point. The book spends less time on doctrine, theory, and beliefs but spends more time on occult practices and meditations. Usually, occultism is associated with something obscure, but occultism goes well beyond the five physical senses. High Occultism has the purpose of unveiling The Occult through the systematic practice of specific spiritual and mystical techniques, together with inner exploration of subtle realms of consciousness. The author will teach the reader these spiritual and mystical techniques. I recommend this book. Fantastic introduction into occultism.

Another excellent book by Gabriyell
The tools are given and the student must diligently practice.
The results will speak for themselves.
This book is the road map to the deeper parts of who we really are. We must practice so we can discover the treasure for ourselves.

Fantastic. An accessible book with practical instructions.
For once I did not get disappointed with dogma and thick-skulled, archaic information and knowledge.
It will lay out all the occult principles and help you establish an occult spiritual routine. Deeply recommended.

3.5 stars.
A friend loaned this book to me so I read it quickly with the intention of returning it sooner than later. A quick read with basic occult knowledge- however, I did find new information and techniques that I’ll utilize in the future.

The Path of High Occultism
First, you should know that this is not a book of rituals or practical magick. If you’re looking for something like the works of the Gallery of Magick, this is not the book for you.
Instead, this book presents a minimalist step-by-step guide to help you acquire the skills necessary to explore the inner/astral realms, communicate with non-physical beings, and eventually achieve mystical union with divinity. Indeed, there isn’t really any “magick” in the book; it is simply an approach for inner occult development that requires a lot of hard work and dedication from the reader. If you, like me, have experienced the reality of the occult and seek a defined path of spiritual development, then this book can help you walk that path.
One of the things I appreciate the most about this book is that it’s not tied to any particular religious or magical systems. Most of the occult development courses I know of require working with certain entities, tools, or systems. All you need with this book is your mind, a candle, and a space to regularly practice in. This is good news for people who don’t have the freedom to be conspicuous about their occult practice. I can’t yet speak to the efficacy of the practices, as I’ve only just started. But I confidently rate the approach of the book as 5-stars.
My only issue with the book is that I wish more care was given to editing. The grammar often falls short and I would hate for this to deter readers from such a fantastic book.

This is a short book that can be read in a day or less. However, it contains a lot of useful information, including a six-phase programme of self-development that could take you several months or years to complete.
There are three reasons why the text is so brief. First, there is only one case study. Books like this usually have several examples of ordinary individuals who achieved amazing results by following the author’s guidance. These case studies appeal to some readers but I’ve rarely found them inspiring as I think of them as anecdotal and impossible to prove or disprove.
Second, there are no references to expensive residential courses or workshops that the reader is encouraged to sign up for if they are “truly serious” about achieving nirvana. The most this author does is offer you a free book if you sign up for his newsletter. Maybe the newsletter refers to expensive workshops but you don’t have to take part in them to get a lot out of this book. In fact, the eight-phase programme needn’t cost you a penny as no equipment is needed except for your mind and body.
Third, no attempt is made to provide any proof that the techniques described here actually work. Now that would be a serious flaw except that the evidence can be found elsewhere. There is a growing body of evidence across a range of scientific disciplines from neuroscience to endocrinology to quantum physics showing that meditation and breathwork can positively affect brain chemistry, heart rate, blood pressure, pain management etc. In short, following the programme could have beneficial effects on your mental and physical health. Also, it is worth pointing out that although the author’s programme is original, much of the material here does chime with what you would find in similar works. Consistency breeds confidence. For example, the technique for activating the energy centres – or chakras – is pretty much what you would find elsewhere.
One caveat. The copyright page contains a lengthy rubric stressing the importance of using conventional medical services to address any health concerns that the reader might have. This is basic common sense. It is also worth noting that the author advises that you should consult a healthcare professional before doing any of the meditations. Some readers might think that is taking health and safety too far but other gurus discourage anyone from doing specific breathwork exercises if they are pregnant or have recently had a stroke or heart attack.
A common theme in this author’s works is to stress the primacy of experience over religious faith. This is a sound pragmatic and rational approach. For example, you can measure changes in blood pressure, heart rate, brain activity etc before, during and after a meditation and draw conclusions. You can also make subjective assessments about your own levels of confidence or anxiety after following the author’s programmes. This is very different from being told by a priest what you must believe about something that is written in a book and might or might not have happened thousands of years ago. Regarding areas like, if you follow one of the exercises here, will you really make contact with some kind of master or guide? Again, the author’s message is, “Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself and see what the result is.”
This book is the second in a series of four and I am looking forward to reading the remaining two.

I’ll be honest, most of this book was just different forms of meditation, grounding techniques, and basic spirituality… I’m pretty disappointed, but should’ve expected that, as the authors other book about alchemy, only talks about ‘inner alchemy.’ These would be great reads if they were true to the subjects that they claim to be about. Everything in this book is in all basic spiritual practices and also most religions. Also, the author likes to use the terms ‘God’ and ‘He’ a lot, making this book (and the other one I mentioned) feel meant for Christians. The author briefly mentions that this is meant to be the universe at large/source etc.. but it honestly just seems that the author favours the Christian terms, which, as a non Christian, and as someone very interested in occultism/witchcraft/spirituality, this isn’t meant for people like me and made me not want to read further (although I pushed through and wish I just put the book down.) I just wouldn’t waste time with this book unless you want to learn a few different meditations and are open minded enough to replace the word ‘God’ with ‘source’, and ignore the Christian terms, as you read.
Other than all that, the book is written well and it’s easy to understand. This is the only reason I gave it any stars.

La libro estas interesa por komencanto, sed ne por tiuj, kiuj estas pli seriozaj pri la temo. Mi ne scias ĉu ĝi vere priparolis okultismon, sed ĝi estas interesa esploro de meditato kaj iuj filozofioj pri la temo. Mi pensas, ke ĝi estis bona, sed ne tiel bona kiel aliaj libroj, kiujn mi legis antaŭe.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The book is interesting for a beginner, but not for those who are more serious about the topic. I do not know if it really talks about occultism, but it is an interesting exploration of meditation and some philosophies about the topic. I think that it was good, but not as good as other books that I have read before.
3/5

Very similiar to the Sarom's 'The Art of Mysticism' but it does go into a bit more detail on his view of what High Occultism means, essentially it's a book on learning how to medidate. It would also help to explain a bit more on the symbolism, that said I did enjoy it.

Cover is lovely, and that's it. I'm lucky I was given these books as a gift. absolute rubbish, the author threw in some mishmash of some ideas of others without even the courtesy of including proper references. I am not sure if they even know the basics. Absolute rubbish.

Bland. I don’t remember any of it at all on reflection months later.
