The student of occultism frequently is slightly conversant in the crass individual who assumes the cheap skeptical attitude toward occult matters, which attitude he expresses in his would-be “smart” observation that he “believes only in what his senses perceive.” He seems to think that his cheap wit has in the end disposed of the matter, the implication being that the occultist is a credulous, “easy” person who believes within the existence of things contrary to the evidence of the senses.
While the opinion or views of persons of this class are, of course, beneath the serious concern of any true student of occultism, then again the mental attitude of such individuals are worthy of our passing consideration, inasmuch as it serves to give us an object lesson in regards to the childlike attitude of the average so-known as “practical” persons in regards to the matter of the evidence of the senses.
