But what beliefs are they? And was this the only \u2018connection\u2019 Hurley had to these people?<\/p>\n<p>An extract from Hurley\u2019s writings:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cStill, there are so many fascinating things out there in the world, that despite how peculiar they sound, and the fact some of them do follow rules and hierarchies, I couldn&#8217;t help following. One of them is the practice of &#8220;Dark Onto Light,&#8221; which many would and do falsely ascribe to the term &#8220;occult&#8221; (I won&#8217;t go on about its structure now. It is included here on my site). Many people have or have had an interest in this &#8220;occult&#8221; and I have included them here, because to me they are, if only in spirit, my &#8220;friends.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many who have read the diary entries and writing that Hurley left behind will tell you how cryptic these messages can be.<\/p>\n<p>Notice in this extract how Hurley tries to disguise what he\u2019s really saying. Hurley describes how many mistakenly categorise Dark Onto Light under the loose term \u2018 occult\u2019.<br \/>\nAlthough Hurley claims this description is false and further diminishes this false description by placing the word occult in sarcastic quotation marks he still goes on to say his \u2018imaginary friends\u2019 have an interest in this \u2018occult\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Hurley begrudgingly uses the term \u2018occult\u2019 to describe Dark Onto Light in almost a sarcastic homage to those who wrongly use this word to describe Dark Onto Light<br \/>\nIn other words, as Hurley intended \u2018Occult\u2019 means \u2018Dark Onto Light\u2019.<br \/>\nReplace the word occult with Dark Onto Light and we have our answer:<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMany people have or have had an interest in this &#8220;<b>occult<\/b>&#8221; and I have included them here, because to me they are, if only in spirit, my &#8220;friends.&#8221; <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>Many people have or have had an interest in <b>Dark Onto Light <\/b>and I have included them here, because to me they are, if only in spirit, my &#8220;friends.&#8221;<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hurley is telling us these \u2018imaginary friends\u2019 are interested or have been interested in Dark Onto Light.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves me with some questions:<\/p>\n<p>Is Hurley only describing well known figures that are interested in Dark Onto Light practices, or is he actually listing cult members?<\/p>\n<p>And is Hurley, like me, just speculating by finding connections between these people and their similar beliefs and presuming their involvement with the cult? Or is Hurley indeed stating facts he knows to be true (let&#8217;s not forget Dark Onto Light had already exposed themselves and their practices\/beliefs to him at this point).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, without an answer from Hurley, I doubt these questions can truly be answered.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Schizophrenia?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_1587.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1644271\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1644271\" src=\"https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_1587.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1587\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_1587.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_1587-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_1587-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dostoevsky-bts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_1587-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I know Hurley and his \u2018imaginary friends\u2019 is part of the story that leads some to believe there was no cult, no Russian mafia, and, instead, Hurley was unwell and suffering from a mental illness such as schizophrenia.<\/p>\n<p>I can see the sense in this theory, but notice how Hurley distinguishes between fact and fiction. Hurley knew these people weren\u2019t really his friends by himself naming them &#8216;imaginary&#8217;, and if you see he even makes the point of putting the word friend in quotation marks just as he did the term occult when describing Dark Onto Light. Those suffering from a paranoid delusion such as schizophrenia have trouble breaking their own delusion- he knows these people aren\u2019t his friends in reality.<\/p>\n<p>From what I\u2019ve concluded from my ongoing in-depth research on the mystery surrounding Hurley, I believe Dark Onto Light are very real. And by coming to that conclusion, I\u2019ve decided to take every piece of information Hurley has left us as fact.<\/p>\n<p>If Hurley is telling us these people do share an interest in Dark Onto Light, I\u2019m going to assume this is true.
