Section 2 - Esoteric

As you would have guess by now, esoteric is the exact opposite of exoteric. People who follow this way of thinking are aware that there is one energy that resides in each one of us; the all within all persons, places, and things. All living organisms on this planet are manifestations of this great energy and no person is any more or any less than the other. An esoteric person is mystical because he looks within the outer layers of materialism and tries to find the true inner meaning that will guide him to the level of awareness and ultimately merging with the Source of all sources.

An esoteric person receives wisdom from all teachers of life. He does not restrain himself to just one religion, nation, educational institution or organization. He has an open mind that is willing to learn new concepts while putting them to use always (all-ways). An exoteric person applies logic to all aspects of life and an esoteric does the same but also relies on his inner wisdom, awareness and intuition before making any decisions.

The soul or our spirit never dies, only our body does. An esoteric person takes each lesson that life gives him and understands the true meaning of his existence and of the purity of his soul. Thus, he stays away from materialism and cannot be tempted to make decisions only because they seem right. He judges the true impact of making a decision on not only him but on others. For an exoteric person, God or the Supreme Being is literally above us all in the sky. But for an esoteric person, there Is only One revered being and a part of it lives in every person, place, and thing; solid, liquid, and gas. When a person reaches this level of awareness and understanding, he has peeled away all the other levels of materialism and is intensely aware of the mystical and spiritual beauty that resides within him.

Another important factor associated with esoteric is that they understand the concept of gnosis. This is also derived from a Greek word that means “based on higher understanding”. They look beyond the regular reasoning and logical teachings and ways of interpreting different things in life but rely on their inner strength and judgement as well. So here are a few features of an esoteric person:

1. While an exoteric person stays in a constant dream state, an esoteric person remains in a spiritual or aware state at all times

2. An esoteric person is not as self-centered, egotistical or narrow-minded as an exoteric person.

3. An esoteric person does not blindly follow the authorities books, figures of organizations that he/she may choose to associate with but will largely rely on their inner consciousness and feelings. Intuition plays a very important role in the lives of such people.

4. There is a Universal Supreme Being or Consciousness that should be the aim or destination for people all around the world, in an esoteric’s opinion, by learning the various things about life from whatever source of information people come across.
