Esotericism  Esotericism or Esoterism signifies the holding of Esoteric Opinions or Beliefs, that is, ideas preserved or understood by a small group of those specially initiated, or of rare or unusual interest. The term can also refer to the academic study of Esoteric Religious Movements and Philosophies, and Religious Movements or Philosophies whose proponents distinguish their beliefs, practices, and experiences from mainstream Exoteric and more Dogmatic institutionalized traditions. The term derives from the Greek ἐσωτερικός (esôterikos), a compound of ἔσω (esô): "within", thus pertaining to interiority or mysticism. Its antonym is "exoteric".

Akashic Records or The Book of Life

Akashic Records or The Book of Life In Theosophy and Anthroposophy, the Akashic Records, from Akasha, the Sanskrit word for 'sky' 'Space' or 'Aether', are a compendium of Mystical Knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the Astral Plane. Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "Space" or "Aether", and it entered the language of theosophy through H. P. Blavatsky, who characterized it as a sort of life force; she also referred to "indestructible tablets of the astral light" recording both the past and future of human thought and action, but she did not explicitly identify these as "akashic" in nature.
