Slide 2: The word “esoteric” comes from the Greek esoterikos, meaning “belonging to an inner circle,” which derives from esotero, meaning “more within.” Slide 3: Another word synonymous with “esoteric” is “occult,” which simply means “hidden.” Slide 4: The word with the opposite meaning of “esoteric” is “exoteric,” which means “pertaining to the outside, external,” or “suitable for communication to the general public.” Slide 5: So, when we talk about esoteric or occult knowledge, we are just talking about knowledge that is hidden because it is kept within – within a group, within an individual. Slide 6: These words do not necessarily refer to black magic, or the dark arts, or witchcraft, or Satanic worship, as popular culture and common usage sometimes suggest. Slide 7: Esoteric knowledge is really knowledge within you – it’s hidden within you. Slide 8: And what is this knowledge about? Why is it hidden? Why the implications – as you see in pop culture, for example – of secrecy, fear, danger, something best left unseen, out of the light of day and in the dark, something suitable for only (quote-unquote) “initiates”? Slide 9: Esoteric knowledge is really about how you are the creator of your own reality. Slide 10: Thanks for watching! There will be more to come.
