Occultists everywhere?

[Mishima]

Ever since I had an unusual experience with occultism, I began to notice occultism everywhere. I mean, not everywhere, as if I am a nutcase or something, but I began to identify occultists and occultism in people and things which, before, I wouldn't notice.

Does anyone share this experience?

I began to realize that some people, not sure if by the way they talk or certain things they say, are students of the occult. I am not sure what it is, because it is very subtle, but, suddenly, they say something that gives my an impression that they are occultists in some manner. For example, I have recently found out that an old friend is an occultist. I was talking to him, and, I don't remember what exactly he said, but I began to suspect that he was involved somehow. As the conversation went on, he confided to me that he was indeed studying occult matters. I notice that in some famous people too, people on TV, etc.

Another thing is music, art, movies, etc. A lot of it is bullshit, like many heavy metal bands and the like, but others. Just today I was listening to Hotel California, those lyrics sound pretty occult to me. I googled it and found many sites relating the song to satanism, etc.

Another thing I realized ever since I started paying attention to the occult. Since I was a kid, I liked writing stories, I used to write some comics, with stories I made up. When I was 12, I began to playing guitar, and, from the start, I wanted to write my own songs, which I did. Well, revisiting those comics I wrote when I was a kid, and the songs I have been writing ever since, I began to find many occult messages in them.

I don't know if you guys know the creative process, how it is, an idea that comes from nowhere, pops in your mind, and seems to be right, and it just fits, sound cool, so you just write it, sometimes not even knowing the meaning. Well, revisiting my songs, I began to find many occult messages, in any kind of songs, even love songs that I wrote to former girlfriends and stuff.

After I began to have direct contact with some entities, I started to understand a little better the relationship between my songs and the occult. But there is one song in particular, which I began to write in 1998, and haven't finished it yet, that seems to be hard core occult. For one thing, I wrote it in a Roland 303, groovebox, but I don't remember a thing!I was just programming the machine and, all of a sudden, I blacked out, woke up hours later, and the song was there, complete. Then I began writing the lyrics, and it didn't make much sense to me(haven't finished yet), but, just recently, during the conversations that sometimes I have with those entities, I began to understand the song, and I am finally making some progress with the lyrics. The song is called "Lost Paradise(Paradise Lost):the true story of the vicious, crude, men-eating savages found at the 33 degree". Go figure!

I have noticed it with one famous person. I don't know if I'm right or not, but....I have decided to believe that he is deeply into the occult. *shrug* who knows?

There was a rumour going around for a while that David Bowie had an account on the old OF website. I know for certain that there is a big occult following in the music industry - you just need to look at some of the symbolism in alternative music to see it. [grin]
