Sometimes it is possible when a beginner speaks about his experiences, 
he may lose his newly-acquired faculties. Maybe it is a reason why 
some occultists never speak about it.

At least, I can say from personal experience that if you're trying to 
follow buddhist and theosophical teachings it can reduce the personal 
suffering, in some extent at least. The occult principle "the less you 
say, the better" also holds good. As a rule, I talk too much and 
consequenses are always negative :)
