Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00256)

Hi

Yes Mauri.
Every teacher has got two doctrines.
As in our classrooms there is an approximate case: 
The teacher passes on his teachings for the ordinary pupils, but to those who are specially interested in a deeper approach on the discipline, he starts to give him a different focus.
In the time of Jesus he taught to the crowds one certain doctrine - lighter and full of paraboles and stories, and to his " inner circle" He taught a deeper doctrine, a complete system of values and through iniciations, special powers were confered, because He was forming a group of followers and so, preachers of the new doctrine.
The crowd received the exoteric and the disciples, the esoterical basis.

Subject: Theos-World re Jesus, "exoteric/esoteric"


Leon, guys, in case you might be interested, 
I found this quote in today's post from Dallas:

"...in common with Pythagoras and other 
hierophant reformers, Jesus
divided his teachings into exoteric and 
esoteric."
ISIS II 147

If Jesus divided his teachings into those two 
categories, then wouldn't that be relevant 
enough reason for people on these lists to 
try to find some kind of Theosophic 
context/meaning for those two words/concepts ...

Speculatively,
Mauri
