Don't dabble in the occult. Don't research the cryptic or arcane.
Don't get involved in seances or magic or anything of that nature.

I have to disagree with quite a lot of what you have written.
The intended design of the Cosmos is one of constant change, chaos that is ever moving and never still. Perfection is something that is unattainable. Not even an atom is perfect and observations in the sciences have confirmed this. Atoms decay over time.
Celestial heavens exist only in the minds of those who think that some great reward awaits for them and is simply a fallacy of the imperfect mind acting as a safety mechanism for the coming void and non-being when death occurs. It is just another powerful meme washing around.
For the argument against of avoiding all things occult the human race would not have progressed as far as it has otherwise.
Science technology has always explored the unknown, the hidden reality surrounding us so we can better understand it and better manipulate it for advantages.

This kind of thinking is all wrong. I have been involved in Pagan activities for years practicing Wicca sciences and other forms diabolical 'magic'. I feel fine in body and mind. On a moot point a lot of what is written in religious bibles are cryptic and arcane. Praying to a god or savior is a form of seance, wanting a connection with and communication and response with a incorporeal intelligence.

There are creative forces. This is what humans call "good."
There are destructive forces, which the uninformed have deemed "bad."
There must be balance.
There is no good, nor bad.
Just cycles.

All this stuff about there’s no such thing as perfection is untrue. The OP is correct in this regard.
Perfection is anything that performs its nature as God intended it to be.
Buddha taught that the human predicament is that humans have lost their true nature
The Sufis, probably the greatest mystics of all time, teach that humans can reach what they call InsanulKamil
Perfect or complete Human
Therein is perfection through the return of our true nature through striving to transcend the lower soul and the corruption of the lost nature we have fallen into.
It’s not easy
