Lately I've become somewhat addicted to studying the occult. Mostly western occultism but also kabbalah, Christian esotericism and even stuff like Theosophy and Aleister Crowley. Hearing the WikiLeaks stuff kind of planted the seed for me and now that these books are really easy to access, I've found myself really absorbed into that world.
It's extremely interesting but also very useful. I totally understand how knowing this stuff can separate average people from the true leaders of society. It does make you more powerful. It reveals how the world around us is manipulated and shaped by will. I think every leader or politician must have studied this before. It's the master key to power.
It's not a popular subject around here and I think you should be careful about it spiritually but there does seem to be some truth at least to the powerful studying it.
Trump has studied the Kabbalah, he mentions his Kabbalah teacher Eitan Yardeni briefly in his business advice book The Way to The Top.
This is seen as negative, if you search for stuff about Trump and the Kabbalah its often being used to attack him. I don't view this as a negative though or that it's a sign of Trump being bad like others though. Instead I see this as him understanding this enemies and perhaps using some of their weapons against them.
