Less Explored Paths

>> Saturday, December 13, 2008

The world of the occult has always intrigued mankind. From the people of science - Isaac Newton comes to mind - to the old lady home, many have been drawn to it. When science proves inadequate to explain, religion becomes too vague or offers another unknown to define, the need to understand, explore, and ultimately conquer sort of pushes human mind to traverse in the labyrinths of the occult.

There is a rich occult literature and various practices are seen across the world. This surely deserves attention from a social and cultural perspective, if nothing else. And they do affect our lives. I do not know any one who has not looked her horoscope or not been charmed by a division of the occult let us say, at one moment in her life.

So, here we are. In this rather isolated corner of the cob web of bytes and electrons, a journey to the unknown, the undefined, sometimes fascinating, at times outright scary begins. To the less explored paths.

You are correct that humans are driven with the need to understand, and with all the different religions and sub-factions of each it makes understanding or knowing what to believe all the more difficult.

Where did we come from? When did it all begin? What happens after we die?

As you said, its fascinating and can be frightening at times.
