The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden". In the medical sense it is used to refer to a structure or process that is hidden, e.g. an "occult bleed" may be one detected indirectly by the presence of otherwise unexplained anaemia. The word has many uses in the English language, popularly meaning "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable", usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes popularly taken to mean "knowledge meant only for certain people" or "knowledge that must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences. The terms esoteric and arcane can have a very similar meaning, and the three terms are often interchangeable. The term occult is also used as a label given to a number of magical organizations or orders, the teachings and practices taught by them, and to a large body of current and historical literature and spiritual philosophy related to this subject .

Basically as you know the music industry is one of the main influences today and it leads people to do many things and believe many things. Of course this is used by the illuminati to infiltrate the beliefs they want into us... what happens with people is that they don't listen to music they just hear it... if you look at the lyrics of various songs youlle notice how disturbing they are- for example Jay-z, rihanna and Kanye West talk about worshiping the devil and welcoming him by wearing black clothes, they also talk about how you can choose two paths in the song 'Run this town'- take a look for yourself. The pussycat dolls and many more artists have written songs about becoming attached to material e.g. when i grow up i wanna have a car… [cont.] Answered by e pec a or - Mon May 31 23:10:09 2010 Is CT or bone scan more sensitive in detecting occult fracture?

Anything that is not a verbatim quote or a photocopied imagery from their chosen set of icons and isms becomes subject to suspicion. "occult" has become a catch word for anything they are indoctrinated to distrust : astrology, astronomy, supernaturalism, spiritualism, any religion that is not accepted in the mainstream. Example : I know many Buddhists and Jews who practice rather esoteric methods, but I do not know many christians who condemn their practices as "occult". A Buddhist sitting in front of a candle humming while burning oils is accepted, but a person who claims the title of "Witch" while doing almost exactly the same thing is somehow "evil"? … [cont.] Answered by Chris - Mon Jun 14 09:28:43 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Occult"  youtube.com Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:09:24 PST Part 11 lenonhonorfilms.com. youtube.com.  youtube.com Tue, 28 Nov 2006 15:35:42 PST Never before published (to my knowledge) information on newly discovered symbols on the dollar bill that may shock you.
