This is a pretty good some up of the difference between things as they appear to be and things as they really are.

I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.
Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you're willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn't true.
You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse'wfaegqrwt;'lj'a fuck my brain. I'm asd I'm not sure what I was trying to say.
Occultism and esotericism can be very helpful for, idk, growing in thought, or becoming more aware of the world, or learning to see what really is. The tricky part is to remember that all the magic stuff is a trap for fools, and the real value is learning nasty little tricks like you don't have to walk on sidewalks and that the best way to lie is to tell the truth.
