You're spot on. You mentioned the occult aspect, and since it is one that is rarely understood it leads people to dismiss it, but it is real. Just like "dark matter" there are levels to this universe that go unseen by the five senses. In themselves they are neither good nor bad, but like any source of power it can be used for either. The defining factor? Power used for the good, and understanding of all, verses power used for the reinforcement of the individual ego. The universe is one consciousness experiencing itself subjectivity as bill hicks said. With this in mind those who focus on the abuse of others for individual power are lost souls indeed, for they are ultimately abusing themselves.

Some people have no sense of humour, he was also very self deprecating and plenty of self empowered women dig him (like my wife)... We are living in a time of potential neo-puritanism.
