This point of view is also expressed in esoteric literature.

Joe, what exactly do you mean by "esoteric literature" you have used
this term several times.

do you term it as "The term esotericism refers to the doctrines or
practices of esoteric knowledge, or otherwise the quality or state of
being described as esoteric, or obscure.[1] Esoteric knowledge is that
which is specialized or advanced in nature, available only to a narrow
circle of "enlightened", "initiated", or highly educated people.[2]
Items pertaining to esotericism may be known as esoterica.[3] Some
interpretations of esotericism are very broad and include even
unconventional and non-scientific belief systems. In contrast, exoteric
knowledge is knowledge that is well-known or public." -wiki

or

"In Western, English-speaking societies today, the term "esotericism"
has come to informally mean any knowledge that is difficult to
understand or remember, such as theoretical physics, or that pertains to
the minutiae of a particular discipline, such as "esoteric" baseball
statistics.

The term "esoteric" does not necessarily refer to "esotericism" per se
in the sense of "inner" knowledge, disciplines, or practices."


or are you terming to refer to the body of literature which pertains to
"inner knowledge"?


thanks,
