The question asked at the beginning of this thread is philosophically confused. As long as it is used as an ideology, science cannot objectively
assess the topics of the occult because it exists in an artificial world of its own making, walled off from the "outside" (realms of the occult) by
its self-made, epistemological barriers that deny the reality of anything that is not inside these artificial walls. It cannot investigate what it
claims cannot exist as a matter of principle! So, what does it do when confronted with cracks in its walls that let through phenomena that no amount
of materialistic arm-waving and crude reductionism can dismiss? It ignores them as though they are not worthy of its attention, when the real truth is
that scientists are just too scared to examine the occult except in negative terms for fear that it will damage their careers. Science cannot explain
what is outside all its models, hypotheses and theories because they are ALL based upon a purposeless universe of atoms and random forces whereas the
occult universe is a living expression of One Life and displays evidence of spirituaL design and purpose ideas tha are anathema to science. Anything
like the occult that exposes the inherent limitations of science as a
complete source of knowledge gets ignored or is debunked as superstition
because cognitive dissonance is the only way scientists can cope psychologically with occult phenomena so traumatic towards their world-view.
But here's a research website on certain occult topics (Kabbalah, remote-viewing, sacred geometry) that shows no such cowardice in revealing the
scientific meaning, value and significance of such topics:
