Scientific Occultism

About this book

Could there be laws of nature that science had simply not recognised? David P. Hatch writes from an occult culture eager to borrow the vocabulary of experiments and proof for its own claims about unseen forces.

Scientific Occultism reflects the expectation that psychic and spiritual phenomena would eventually find a place within a single account of nature. Hatch's ideas should be read as speculative history, with little reason to assume that his proposed mechanisms were demonstrated. The language is revealing in itself: the desire to sound scientific becomes part of the effort to make a spiritual worldview credible.
