The prefix "eso", from the Greek, means "within". But..the term "within" may cause some people to misconstrue "within" as referring to "inside of Man"? The term "within" only makes sense when one takes the time to put ones arms around the concept that Man is composed of four simultaneously existing vibrational dimensions or energy realms... only one of which is capable of being perceived by ones brain and physical senses.

This means that the "Whole" of oneself is not one thing, but four things! Man is not singular, but multiple. There "are" four separate dimensions that make up the "Whole" of Man. These are: Ones physical brain, physical senses, and ones physical body; Ones MIND, which is composed of a lower MIND, and a higher MIND; And Man has a Spiritual dimension which includes ones Soul and its Apapsyche[Operational Energy of ones Soul].

This composition of Man is not well known, but this is the reality of Man, and a reality we all share.

The Esoteric simply refers to phenomena that the brain and physical senses cannot perceive. Put another way, this means that it is not possible for anyone to discover the Esoteric dimensions of oneself, or of Life, by using ones brain. And there are a great many who would desire to argue with me on this point.... but, they would loose the argument.

The fact is.... the vibrational energies of the Esoteric dimensions of Man, and of Life, are simply too subtle for ones physical brain to perceive. The ONLY part of oneself capable of "experiencing" the Esoteric is ones faculty of Intuition... explained Here.
