The Esoteric

The esoteric isn’t a teaching in a book of ‘mysteries’; it is that which is reading the book.

The suggestion that the mystery of life – the big secret – is something written down, is the exoteric – the usual deception for academic fools (‘fools’ is a bit strong, but these people profess to be the elite).

The esoteric is arriving at the realisation that we are pure consciousness.
For those who think it is ‘the secret’, it is the golden roof.
For those who know, it is the very foundation of reality.

The only reason this can be thought of as ‘secret’ is because it is misunderstood, and seen as something to ponder over. The esoteric is beyond words. It is pure being, in the sense of the uncontaminated spontaneous moment of discovery, without the usual mental deviations.

The outcome of esoteric understanding is a sympathetic realisation of these mental deviations. Deviations are intellectualisations and philosophies that cause confusion and suffering because of the weight of words and terminologies that spread like a pandemic. This dis-ease is the exoteric, meant for the many who see everything as a mystery … and switch off.

The esoteric is our immune system that protects us from foolishness.

“The Kingdom of God (reality) is inside you and all around you.
Not in a mansion of wood and stone.
Split a piece of wood and I (pure consciousness) am there.
Lift a stone and you will find me (pure consciousness).”

Our reality is in the seeing.

Do not rely on words, translations, commentaries, poetry …
… just see.
