What is the Esoteric Teaching?
The Esoteric Teaching is a modern mystery school of the philosophia perennis, the eternal spiritual principles and transcendental ontology informing and underlying all spiritual cultures, paths and religions. The Esoteric Teaching presents these truths in their original, pure and complete form, free from the cultural or institutional biases and religious dogma that filter information and cloud understanding. Thus it gives everyone, regardless of background or inclination, access to the profound benefits of authentic spiritual life and enlightenment.
Students of the Esoteric Teaching experience the following benefits:
- Relieves stress and anxiety
- Removes fear, especially fear of death
- Removes confusion and misunderstanding
- Helps cultivate satisfying personal relationships
- Promotes self-understanding and self-confidence
- Expands awareness and enhances consciousness
- Increases creativity, intelligence and reasoning power
- Opens the path to spiritual liberation and ecstatic love of the Supreme
The Esoteric Teaching specifically exposes, defeats and transcends limited, culturally and institutionally biased religious and philosophical conceptions, and elevates the student to realization of the complete Absolute Truth of spiritual consciousness (satyam param). This original, eternal and unconditional truth is the source of all authentic spirituality. Therefore, the Esoteric Teaching is not a religion, spiritual method or culture, although it certainly is both the source and culmination of all bona fide religions, spiritual methods and cultures.
The path of the Esoteric Teaching begins from study of the public teachings available through this site, and continues through personal association with a self-realized Master Teacher. Students who desire further advancement may apply for initiation, which grants access to more powerful and confidential levels of the Esoteric Teaching. This policy is not intended to hide information, but to help prepare the student to successfully duplicate, understand, apply and realize the Esoteric Teaching and its profound benefits.
