Is there a some relation between science and the occult?
I recently read that modern forms of both science and occultism developed during the same period of time (1400s-1600s) and often times involve the same people (Pico fella Mirandola, John Dee, Isaac Newton, Jack Parsons, Albert Einstein). Why is this? Is modern science really just an application of occult principles/ideas? Does anyone have further information on this matter?

When you think about how technology came to be it’s pretty fun to imagine some sort of magic having to be involved
The occult is a science with a necessarily different rationale due to the nature of what is being observed. I will say that occult practices allow for methods of inquiry and discovery that complement scientific thought and problem solving.
Do either of you know if any recources that could help an uninformed individual learn more about these topics?
Occult books and science. Some form of meditation that works for you. Inspirational literature. It's an extension of natural philosophy and applied theology. If you mean like an overview, Godel, Escher Bach is tangentially related because it describes the modes of thought employed and many of the same concerns.
Crowley hoped that his occult work would become scientific
most was make believe
science is just a lesser form of alchemy
Science is the smart way to exploit the universe and occultism is a failed way to be gods and bypass the natural laws. Occultism will never work because its foundation is flawed.
yes because science is the safest and no risk
but faith, cries, and prayers to the peak true loving God Almighty Father and ascended masters moves mountains
Yes, only idiots who dont study history dont know the connection. Science and the occult used to be intertwine, read about francis bacon and john dee, both practiced the occult and what is now called science
>occultism is an expansion of knowledge
>science is calcination of knowledge
Occultism is in the cycle as expanding beyond the limitations of what can be communicated to the masses (purely on the material plane), science is about transmuting that knowledge into the material form. They're both important and innovative/perceptive minds utilize each.
There's always been this link.
I mean, look at the world around you. Your ancestors and forefathers only dreamed of what we have now.
Electricity used to be considered witchcraft and Gods/Goddessess powers and yet we have control over it with the flick of a finger now.
Humans could only dream on flying, and we do it on the regular now.
Everything is magick if your mind is open to it.
nope it's only a positive sum game
God Almighty Father and The peak truly loving reasonable logical gods gave you blinders for a reason.
screw the astral lol
She cute
Occultism is basically the troon version of science. You want something to be real and you keep pretending it is, against all logic, evidence, and empirical results.
I'd argue that things stop being occult and become science once they're shown to be reproducible by evidence and experiments.
Governments, Scientists, Government Scientists, Militaries and loads of other people use the AA precepts to obtain other-worldly knowledge.
Alex Jones was right, but in a neurotic, hyperbolic and incredulous way.
