Are you sure? I've met a number of occultists who spoke to me of their 
personal experiences. Patanjali was an occultist, and I'm sure he couldn't have 
taught his rajah yoga aphorisms if he didn't experience all that for himself. 
The same could be said for everything HPB taught. She even told us how she 
performed her psychic phenomena. If that's not personal experience, I don't know 
what is.
