Occult science is the systematic research into or formulation of occult concepts in a manner that follows - in its method or presentation - the way natural science researches or describes phenomena of the physical world.
The idea of Occult Science appears in 19th century occultism, especially Theosophy, beginning with Blavatsky (who distinguished it from the "true Occultism" of Theosophy), and was further developed by both Rudolf Steiner, who wrote a book of the same name and developed a complex system of "spiritual science" known as anthroposophy, and Alice Bailey.
Steiner's Occult Science, published in Berlin in 1910, was a sequel to his earlier work Theosophy, and deals with the evolution of man and the cosmos, as well as referring to the attainment of supersensible knowledge.
Through the influence of Alice Bailey, the idea of occult science is frequently used in association with astrology, especially esoteric astrology.
Kabbalah and Tarot have also been described as Occult sciences; Papus (Gerard Encausse)'s book originally published in French in 1889 as Le Tarot des Bohémiens: Le plus ancien Livre du monde, was translated into English in 1910 as The Tarot of the Bohemians: The Absolute Key to Occult Science.
The idea of Occult Science is also a general part of the New Age movement.

The Inductive Method of Science
Science adopts the Aristotelian, inductive method to move from the particular to the general, rather like assembling individual pieces of a jigsaw puzzle: discrete observational data are collected and gradually fitted into a general picture, the latter being a mental representational model of the physical effects observed. The mind process is predominantly intellectual, applied in a linear mode. The instruments of investigation are limited to, and conditioned by, the five physical senses and their extensions, as telescopes and microscopes, etc. The result is a precise description of the appearances, behaviour and physical mechanisms of the Universe-Nature in her manifold appearances. The prevailing scientific paradigm of materialism has many unsupported and unsubstantiated assumptions. Physical or mathematical modelling are central features of the scientific method of inquiry. This means that science itself is not about truth or knowledge, per se-rather an interpretation of the physical world.
The Deductive Approach of Occult Science
By contrast, Occult Science works in the Platonic tradition of moving from the general to the particular within the Ring Pass-Not (i.e. limiting boundaries of evolutionary growth) of every world system: the overall, grand picture is first realized in its essential nature, and the way this presents itself as particular effects then expounded. The mind process is essentially 'lateral thinking' and intuitive, applied in an all-inclusive mode. The instruments of investigation are not limited to the physical senses. This gives profound insights into the origin, essential nature and manifestation of Nature in her true self.
CONFLUENCE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND OCCULT SCIENCE
Why Many Scientists Are Also Embracing Mysticism
These days we find increasing numbers of scientists turning towards mysticism as a complement to the rational scientific method. A review of the world-wide Directory of Members of The Scientific and Medical Network will indicate this fact. Furthermore, teachers and students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have formed an alchemical society and regularly study The Secret Doctrine. During Millikan's tenure at Cal Tech, a copy of The Secret Doctrine lodged in the library was so much in demand that one had to put one's name on a long waiting list. This work is also discussed periodically at the Harvard Club in New York by several chemistry teachers, including MIT professors.
Why then, such an upsurge in interest in mysticism and occult science? We explained above that in investigating something by the scientific method, we can describe its appearance, behaviour and characteristics by standing apart from it (the discoveries from quantum physics notwithstanding). But by the occult approach in order to understand its inner nature, we have literally to become the very thing we wish to investigate-or at least to participate in it. This is why the occult system always operates from within to without, and prefers to investigate Nature by participating with her processes, rather than interrogating her outward behaviour.
It is by virtue of such interior insights that Blavatsky was able to make prophetic remarks in The Secret Doctrine about future developments in natural science, for example:
The wave motion of living particles becomes comprehensible on the theory of a spiritual ONE LIFE, of a universal Vital principle, independent of our matter, and manifesting as atomic energy only on our plane of consciousness.
The above statement displays foreknowledge about three facts that are now commonly accepted by science, namely: (a) the energy within the atom; (b) the wave-like nature of particles, and the particle-like nature of waves; and (c) the vitality and 'consciousness' of particles. Blavatsky was in all probability the first person to use the terms 'atomic energy' and the 'wave motion of living particles', which science has discovered for itself, using its own methods of investigation.
In the field of life sciences, we find similar portentous statements, such as:
It is not against zoological and anthropological discoveries, based on the fossils of man and animal, that every mystic and believer in a divine soul inwardly revolts, but only against the uncalled-for conclusions built on preconceived theories and made to fit in with certain prejudices.
Driven inexorably by the pressure of their own discoveries, and increasingly inconsistent theories to account for them, scientists are slowly awakening to the truth of Blavatsky's assertion. This will soon become apparent.
Hence in view of the foregoing, it is not surprising that the greatest scientists, past and present, have realized the limits of the process of scientific inquiry and sensed the need for more intuitive approaches.

Nimrod built his great tower to reach to heaven itself to the glory of man. After God confused mankind with different languages, the building of such towers or mounds, called ziggurats, continued for centuries.
They stored the fiery rockets, known as "Shem", and also other flying ships and helicopters....as have been depicted on many Babylonian stellas. Built of mud bricks and Bitumen paste, these towers were dedicated to the various Star deities, of the Anunnaki.
A highly complex and secretive set of religious rites evolved.
A disciple advanced by going through a succession of secret initiations into higher and higher levels of knowledge (gnosis) of the mysteries of the cosmos, until they obtained god-like powers.
The wife of Nimrod became the head of the Babylonian Occult mysteries.
She was known by the name of Semiramis and was the high priestess of the Majick Occult Sciences. Semiramis was supernaturally, (by cloning), impregnated and gave birth to Tammuz, who was considered the savior of his people and the fulfillment of the promise given to Eve. Tammuz, the son, was said to have been killed by a wild beast and afterward brought back to life.
"Baal" was considered the equivalent of Tammuz, in the Old Testament Canaanite religion and many Jews had idols of Baal and other deities. Goddess worship also was prevalent, complete with temple prostitutes who used sex in religious rites to draw closer to the Star Gods.
Variations of these beliefs prevailed in Egypt, Assyria, Medio, Persia, Greece, and Rome. It also dominated in the Celtic, American Indians, Incas and Mayan cultures. All eastern mystic religions today have roots back to Nimrod.....and Babylon. The Winged Disk was the Universal Symbol of the Star Gods.
The woman in Revelation 17 is presented outwardly as gloriously attired, with purple and scarlet royal colors for clothing and covered in gold dust, and precious stones for jewelry. In every kingdom where this religion has dominated, it controlled every aspect of the life of the people.
Even the kings themselves were in many ways subservient to the priests, sorcerers and shamans who where in direct contact with the greater intelligence and knowledge of the spirit world.
In many cultures, it took the form of human sacrifice to appease the various gods who were offended by some action, or would be offended if a sacrifice were not made.
The mystic dimensions of this belief system even found their way into the early church. John Walvoord notes that,
"The Babylonian cult eventually made its way to other cities including Pergamos, the site of one of the seven churches of Asia. The chief priest of the Babylonian cult wore crowns in the form of the head of a fish, in recognition of Dagon the fish god, with the title 'Keeper of the Bridge,' that is, the 'bridge' between man and the Gods, imprinted on the crowns.
The Roman equivalent of the title, Pontifex Maximus, was used by the Caesar and later Roman emperors, and was also adopted as the title for the bishop of Rome. In the early centuries of the church in Rome, the features of the mystery religion of Babylon combined with the Christian faith, a confusion which has continued down to the present day."
Although the Roman Catholic Church may have carried on many of the rituals and pageantry of this belief system thereby weakening the gospel, the real power of this highly esoteric and mystic religion resided in the Knights Templar.
For a fee, and with a blessing from the Pope, these knights offered protection for the crusaders on their way to the Holy Land. The Knights became extremely wealthy and powerful. They eventually controlled the financial institutions as they existed then and all of the land and had power second only to the Church itself.
These Templars were steeped in the very essence of Babylonian Occult Sciences and black magic and maintained their power by creating the feudal system of political power. The Templars represented the first wide-scale attempt to organize and mobile the forces of occultism for the purpose of gaining control of the world.
Since they controlled all the land they controlled all people living in their realm. No one could raise crops, or even get a drink of water without their permission. Society stagnated and for hundreds of years the dark ages prevailed.
Although the Templars called themselves Christians, King Philip IV of France finally discovered the truth. Although the Pope refused to initially believe it and even protected them he was eventually forced by overwhelming evidence to recognize their duplicity.
He promptly sentenced all Templars to burn at the stake -- all whom he could catch -- and stripped them of their land.
Tragically, the extremely oppressive feudal system established by the knights of the realm lived on to the time of the reformation in the 1700s. Although the Templars were destroyed, not all were killed, and the beliefs and practices were carried on, first through the Rosicrucians and then through the Masons... starting in 1717.
While tremendous controversy surrounds this evolution, there can be little doubt that this belief system was carried on by the extremely rich and powerful throughout the centuries to our present-day politics.

"These objections are superficial," Steiner quickly adds. He did not get his information from the texts cited but from his own spiritual vision. Born with a powerful clairvoyant perception of the spiritual world, he quickly discovered it was not safe to let people know this, so he hid his abilities until he had completed a comprehensive education in, among other things, natural science, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and the arts. When Steiner speaks of his perceptions, we can take them as strongly representing the facts as we would accept the boundary markings of trained surveyors. We would not require that we be able to use the surveyors's instruments and make the same calculations as they did to verify the results they provided to us. The fact that our new survey matches previous surveyors's work we take as confirmation that our surveyors did a good job, not as evidence of their having copied someone else's work. If we ask the surveyors if they are confident that they produced an accurate survey, we might expect them to say that they carefully examined every step to ensure accuracy, just as Steiner does below:
Why is it necessary to have access to the supersensible worlds? The answer is that it is not necessary to do so, especially for people who are focused solely on things of the sensory perceptible world. A physicist, a lawyer, a biologist, an anthropologist, a sociologist, an environmentalist -- none of these need access to supersensible worlds to do their jobs. Steiner's point is that anyone deeply concerned with the meaning of life itself will not find adequate answers without investigating supersensible worlds, the worlds that have been occulted or hidden from scientists.
Even if the proofs of the scientific intellect are irrefutable, Steiner says that "they need not be decisive for reality." This is not an easy concept to grasp, so he gives us a comparison to help us grasp it. We cannot see into supersensible worlds with our ordinary human cognitive functions, just as scientists cannot see into the heart of a cell with their ordinary human cognition. They require a strong microscope to augment their human sight -- it is as if the mechanical, human-made microscope creates a new and stronger organ of sight for them. They have no hesitation, if they require a closer view at the microscopic world, of pulling out a stronger set of lens. Steiner points out that our natural human cognition can be given a stronger set of lens, not by any mechanical means, but by spiritual means.
Certainly no scientists worth the name scientist would dispute the validity of a field of science without examining it -- they would never do as Steiner's severest critics have done: "attempt to discredit a completely independent striving for truth by failing to judge it on its own merit." That there are such scientists yet today, who would belittle spiritual science, calling it a subjective delusion without doing a thorough investigation, tells us more about the scientists than about spiritual science. If they did but examine spiritual science earnestly on its own terms, they would find that Rudolf Steiner strives for and achieves objective experiences which have universal validity when recognized entirely inwardly in one's soul-life. He achieves this not by bringing forward pieces of old doctrines such as Theosophy or Gnosticism or Rosicrucianism and binding them in new book covers, but rather by providing truths which resonate with the current abilities of the evolved human being in our time. His result is a "striving for truth" worthy of the name "spiritual science."
In other words, if one is put off by the word occult in the title of the book, but overcomes that prejudice and reads the book, one thereby shows exactly the independence of thought that allows one to receive full benefit from the book. Those, on the other hand, who are put off by the word occult and read the book to find sustenance for their prejudices will find ample reason to criticize the book severely and will receive no other benefit from their reading whatsoever. They will have, in effect, stumbled over the raw Kimberley diamond and cursed the rock containing it!
Some may wonder how it's possible to talk about the supersensible world to humans who perceive only those things of the sensible world, but Steiner says "It is just as comprehensible as the finished picture of the painter is to the man who does not paint." With this as his guiding principle he decided to produce a book which "could be understood by every thinking human being who allows no obstruction to interfere with his understanding." Clearly no one willingly allows obstructions to interfere with one's understanding, but just as one puts blinders on a horse to negotiate busy city streets, scientists don materialistic blinders which cripple their ability to understand the supersensible world, up until now. Knowing that to be a fact in 1909, Steiner risked the publication of this book anyway. What he says in the passage below may certainly yet be the case for many scientists in 2003 as I write these words.

An Outlook of Occult Science
In 1996 when I first read my copy of this book, I wrote a short review of it that you can read in A Reader's Journal, Volume 1. Seven years and over a hundred Steiner books later, it is time for me to devote myself to an in-depth re-reading of this book. I can confirm that what Steiner had to say in those many books, "if inserted in this book in the proper place" would appear as "an amplification of the outline" given in this book. (Page xvi) One cannot appreciate the scope of this book or its degree of condensation unless one understands that all of the words he spoke in over 6,000 lectures from 1900 through 1925 provided an elaboration of some part of this book.
My reasons for re-reviewing this book are threefold. One, it will give me a chance to re-study Occult Science with a grounding of knowledge I didn't have the first time. Two, it gives me a chance to present Steiner's great insights in a vernacular that can reach a greater audience today. Three, I hope to make Steiner's insights available to everyone, mothers, engineers, hairdressers, scientists, managers, philosophers, physiologists, psychologists, and business professionals, among others, not just to anthroposophists. Few people of the 17th Century read Isaac Newton's Principia -- it was those who read it in Latin and converted Newton's insights into everyday prose who brought about the Newtonian Revolution almost a hundred years later when Edmond Halley's prediction, based on Newton's laws, of the return of a comet was confirmed. One hundred years since Steiner began working on this book, it's time for a Steinerian Revolution of thought and spiritual outlook.
