This is really two topics but perhaps I was a bit lazy, and I didn't feel like two separate posts would be as strong. First I wanted to express my appreciation that this site exists and its wide variety of knowledge is available to me, both in terms of literature and users. This site is nothing like any other social media network I have been apart of, its seems as if every one here are open and growing individuals which is a pleasant surprise. My main topic is regarding the commonality of meditation when researching the occult and its literature. This applies to users on this site since most people that I have met here have some history and interest with using meditation to increase their personal power. I wanted to know your guy's perspective on this, if you have noticed and the reason why you think it has historically been such a big aspect of spirituality in general.
