What is Esoterism?

 

Esoterism is not a philosophy but a method of research and a way of life.

The Greek word Esoterikos means to look inside. Inside what? Inside symbols, hermetic concepts, initiatic teachings, ritual representations, in order to find all the hidden meanings beyond images and words.

For the Initiate this quest starts from him-herself. Actually, the Human Being is the most important and meaningful symbol and the most secret book of the Humanity.

For the esoterologist the bigger book is the history of the human religious and initiatic traditions, without borderlines between West and East. The most refined goal of any researcher is that to recover the ancient mysteries and to find the keys to understand them. For them this is a cultural matter, but for the Initiate this is experience: the Initiate wants to live accordingly with the teachings that are inside symbols, rites and words and only this way He-Her will not just understand but will comprehend what Esoterism is.

The human being is the universal Athanor, the alchemic vase in which the initiatic transmutation occurs. The aim of the Initiatic Science is to understand the Being and not to accumulate information. Understanding our mind means to understand our Project as well as understanding our soul means comprehend the Universe that reflects in.

Understanding our subtle conscience means to meet the image of God.
