The first reason for the warning not to pursue occult powers is that pursuing them is a sure way to prevent the soul's self-revelation. For the soul cannot be found unless its Grace has been granted. And it will not grant its Grace unless sought in all purity for its own sake. Hence the aspirant has to choose between it and occultism.
