The Problems of Esotericism
The unacceptability of esotericism
is that it is esoteric, that is,
for its inaccessibility reserved for just the happy few,
since only those with an advanced mind
and intelligent profundity of understanding
can at all get any hang of it,
since it is practically totally incomprehensible.
Already the philosopher Pythagoras saw fully this predicament,
wherefore he simply didn't make it any clearer
but just let it be, as most deep thinkers all since then
have also done, from Plato and Plotinus,
from the Essenes to the Cabbalists,
from the Freemasons and Hermeticism to Rosicrucians,
from the Master Eckhart to the Jesuits and the Illuminati,
to the manifold secret societies of our day
of obstinate forever hibernating Hippies
to the children of New Age and the Free Thinkers of all ages,
all heretics, outcasts, outsiders and aliens
who unlike all common people, who just live on earth,
see life from outside, looking into it.
