To all first, and then to Charles and Tim R. separately:

This discussion's heart beat seems to be an intellectual distaste for the
word occult.  I have provided a quick easy dictionary definition.  I would
recommend that everyone at least use a some dictionary definition of the
word.

Since you seem to believe that Surette is misusing the word "Occult",
perhaps it would help for you to give a succinct usage and show how that is
the accepted one and Surette's usage is not.

I see nothing in your quotes that reveal a misuse of the word occult by
Surette.  In fact they seem to support his central thesis and the dictionary
definitions of occult.


Tim:

Sedition and conspiracy theories are secondary characteristics of the belief
in "secret history", available only to initiates. associated with the
Occult.  In "Royalty and All That" in "Guide to Kulchur",  which I
previously recommended, see page 263;  "A conspiracy of intelligence
outlasted the hash of the political map.",  Ezra Pound.
