People are all entitled to choose there own path. I recall some people 
remarking that it is all a sham and what could be achieved with a few dollars 
worth of electronics. This is a pretty poor statement considering when you 
take a look at such devices as the crystal set, and transistor radio. The 
cost of the parts are about a dollar. It achieves amazing results for what 
constitutes its makeup. For some who were not so educated this device would 
appear to be magic, which is a fear enough statement. Magic might be thought 
of as being able to achieve something by a means not yet fully understood. 
This sounds much like what we are doing with colloidal silver and most else 
in our life. OUr houses are full of devices which use electricity and yet we 
bearly have an understanding of what electricity is. Also to throw the word 
occultism around as though it were plague does no one any favour except to 
further perpetuate a misunderstanding of what occultism is about in its 
purist form. The word occult actually means hidden philosophy. Something that 
is protected from being abused by those who would misuse it, or not 
understand its true nature. The Kabalah which is the jewish esoteric 
tradition was one of the reasons why Hitler dispised the Jews. People can be 
forgiven for jumping to conclusion as you are only able to make as best a 
decision as possible with the data that you have. 

Take care all
Damian
