Brief introduction to esotericism. Both occult and direct.
ON THE ESOTERIC
Approaching the esoteric always involves making excuses for the mind.
The first lesson about this is that what is good for the novice is not always good for the master.
The master can act crazy. He can say “I feel like a Lima bean! I am a Lima bean!” If he wants.
The same excuse for the novice might create madness. But for the master, he is just trying to feel better, and awaken new possibilities.
These excuses have four benefits to the mind:
1. The extreme element: wildness, genius.
2. Cultured intelligence: subtlety.
3. Sight: wisdom.
4. To feel better substantially.
The four of these together is esoteric knowledge.
(Inspired by grape juice).
