...The word derives from the Latin occultum (meaning "hidden thing"). It is translated as esotericism or occult science, and refers to (1) the belief, theory, or technique of exploring unknown phenomena about nature and spiritual life that are not incorporated into the system of modern science, extracting hidden secrets from them, and (2) using the secret knowledge thus obtained as a medium to transform the reality of the universe, nature, and humanity into a higher reality. These phenomena can be manifested through mediums or psychics with special abilities, and in such cases, the sensory organs of the person involved are so highly stimulated that they can exhibit mysteries such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and telekinesis, and can also invite the realization of ghosts, spirits, and alter egos associated with specific individuals or places. ... *Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "occultism" are listed below.
