Blavatsky
“The world is not prepared yet to understand the philosophy of Occult Sciences.
Let them assure themselves first of all that there are beings in an invisible world
Whether Spirits' of the dead or Elementals;
And that there are hidden powers in man
Which are capable of making a God of him on earth." [Blavatsky]
Occult does not mean Satanic or evil. It simply means that which is hidden or not known, non-observable, a mystery - something yet to be learned or understood. Sometimes called occultism. There is no supernatural but there are the unseen causative etheric, scalar, Mind and Spiritual forces.
Occult Science that science which is unknown or unacknowledged or yet to be discovered. Learning that which is yet unknown or non-observable. See writings of Helena Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner both of who knew of Keely's work. Also the old alchemists.
"The world is not prepared yet to understand the philosophy of Occult Sciences. Let them assure themselves first of all that there are beings in an invisible world, whether 'Spirits' of the dead or Elementals; and that there are hidden powers in man, which are capable of making a God of him on earth." [H. P. Blavatsky]
Rudolf Steiner
"The difference between Occult Brotherhoods before and after Christianity is that before the advent of Christianity their chief mission was to guard the sacred tradition; afterwards, it was to form and mold the future. Occult science is not abstract and dead, but active and living." [Rudolf Steiner]
Mark Booth
"When we peer into the hidden lives of the heroes of science, the people who forged the mechanical world-view and made the great leaps forward in technology ... we often find they are deeply immersed in esoteric thought – particularly alchemy... it is difficult to see a clear distinction between scientists and occultists, even as we move into modern times." [Mark Booth, 'The Secret History of the World', (The Overlook Press, New York, NY, 2010), Chapter 23: "The Occult Roots of Science", p. 446.]
Dubuis Jean
"The secret sciences currently called occult sciences are in fact the application of Nature's evolutionary methods. The true goal of this knowledge is the making of each one into an authentically free being and a Knower, in the appropriate amount of time.
The sciences have been hidden (occulto in Latin) for a long time by fear that exoteric forces could take hold of them and destroy them as a result of not knowing how to use them. Moreover, History, particularly during the Inquisition, abounds with examples of such deeds, as consequences of careless revelations.
If we really want to advance on the evolutionary Path, sooner or later we need to approach and utilize one or several of these disciplines. Therefore we think it useful to present their genuine content in broad outlines. In Western countries, occult sciences have been practiced by adepts who, for the most part, have been called Rosicrucians.
For all practical purposes, the true Rose-Cross has in fact dissolved the Veil of the Second death and could not make any public appearance. 'The study of the clear and coded texts inherited from the Ancients shows that they all worked principally on a tryptych of knowledge, Alchemy - Magic - Astrology.
This tryptych of sciences are often accompanied by coding and decoding tools such as symbolism, numerology, and mythology. The associations of Journeymen in the Middle Ages, which were probably working in relation with these adepts, carved the symbolism of this knowledge into stone.
The three portals of the cathedrals are in fact attempts to summarize these three major sciences: generally there is an alchemical, a magical and an astrological portal." [Dubuis Jean, "The Fundamentals Of Esoteric Knowledge"]
