Esoteric Movements - Religious and philosophical groups centered on knowledge or experience accessible only to those who have received a special initiation or attained a special level of spiritual awareness.
Esoteric refers to what is "inner," restricted to persons or groups who are in some way on the "inside" of a secret or process. Esotericists believe they are custodians of an important truth about reality that is unknown to most people either because it has been lost or concealed or because by its nature it is unknowable without special training or induction into its mysteries. In this context, initiation or induction implies a set of experiences designed not only to convey knowledge but also to induce an intuitive awareness of unfamiliar dimensions of reality.
Because of the cognitive and initiatory emphases, esoteric movements are likely to employ study more than devotion, the lecture more than the devotional sermon, and tightly controlled initiatory scenarios more than devotional practice. Precision of information and technical skill in the use of esoteric knowledge are significant, for these features conform the objective nature and practical importance of its insights.
Esoteric movements in the West have flourished at least from the pre-Christian Gnostics on down to the present. Rosicrucian groups. More recent ones are the Order of the Golden Dawn.
First Principle - Choice should be made on the earth plane of the fundamentals to serve as the major influences and stabilizing factors that will lead to higher spiritual awareness.

| | | | * Be Aware of Thought, Word and Action
We acquire knowledge, but we lack awareness. Awareness arises when knowledge accompanies action. Mere acquisition of knowledge does not mean that such knowledge will translate into action.
For instance, most of us know that if you smoke cigarettes, you are susceptible to cancer. Cigarette smokers see the statutory warning imprinted on the cigarette packs: ''Smoking is injurious to health’’.
Nevertheless, they continue to smoke. But if one day, the smoker does begin to suffer from ill-health on account of his smoking, then, the knowledge turns into awareness - through direct experience - that smoking could indeed be injurious to health.

| | | | * Kshana - Time stands still when mind stops
Hindu mythology of creation talks about how the universe is created each time the Creator Brahma blinks! Millions of human years, called yuga, pass by between each blink of the Creator.
Sages of ancient India measured time through the concept of kshana. Kshana is not chronological time. It was not measured as the amplitude of a pendulum or the frequency of an electronic chip. Kshana was not generic time, but individual time. Kshana is the time between two thoughts. My kshana and your kshana are different.

| | | | * Experiencing a Feeling
Buddhist Quotes: Experiencing a Feeling
"Monks, how does a practitioner remain established in the observation of the feelings in the feelings?
Whenever the practitioner has a pleasant feeling, one is aware, 'I am experiencing a pleasant feeling.' Whenever one has a painful feeling, one is aware, 'I am experiencing a painful feeling.' Whenever one experiences a feeling which is neither pleasant nor painful, one is aware, 'I am experiencing a neutral feeling.' When one experiences a feeling based in the body, one is aware, 'I am experiencing a feeling based in the body.' When one experiences a feeling based in the mind, one is aware, 'I am experiencing a feeling based in the mind.'"
- Adapted from Satipatthana-sutta, translated by Thich Nhat Hanh and Annabel Laity

| | | | * The Truth Beyond Success and Failure
It does not matter to a man of awareness whether he is successful or unsuccessful, well-known or absolutely unknown, powerful or just a nobody. To a man of awareness, these dualities don't matter at all, because awareness is the greatest treasure. When you have it, you don't want anything else. You don't want to become the president or prime minister of a country.
Those who pursue power suffer even in success - they live in the eternal fear that they might lose it. At first they suffered because they were not successful; now after being successful, too, they are suffering because of a feeling of insecurity.
