What Are ‘Esoteric’ And ‘Exoteric’?

The esoteric is understood by the few who are practiced.
The exoteric is understood by the many who do not practice.

The esoteric is pure experience of pure awareness.
The exoteric is knowing about pure experience of pure awareness.

The esoteric does not argue.
The exoteric does nothing but argue.

When we know, we just know.
When we know about, we interpret.

The esoteric cannot be calculated.
The exoteric is all about calculating.

Self or I is the construct of a mind associating with ideas.
Pure awareness comes before the mind starts associating with ideas.

These are two opposite worlds.
For the esoteric, they are a unity, because there is no time delay between appearances and awareness, and so no self to infer or interpret.

For the exoteric, it is the cause of confusion, conflict and suffering, with time to refer to memories and interpret, maintaining the apparent continuity of a self.
