A:
The origin of the word "Esoteric" is Greek, it means
the hidden and private: "the teachings that are hard to grasp by
those who are not intellectually illuminated" as mentioned in the
Larousse Dictionary, and "the sciences of the elite" as
mentioned by Britanica. As to the Arabs, they described it as "the
science restricted to those who can understand it"
As
to our books, they unfold the secrets of these special sciences and
present them in a simplified way which is within the reach of
understanding by everyone.
Q:
What is the technique of the Esoterique ?
A:
It is the "Know your self" technique, through a scientific and
practical way of life, whereby the person is both the experimenter and
the ground of the experiment at the same time. It is the technique of
transforming every information from theoretical to practical through
experience. This process transforms information to knowledge and
knowledge to consciousness.
Q:What are the main
important themes that the Esoteric Sciences deal with, especially those
which I can practice daily ?
A:
The Esoteric books contain various subjects which can be applied and
used in all the daily living and practical aspects. Here are some of
them: The healthy nutrition of both body and self, the basics of
conscious relationship between man and woman and the bases of proper
raising of children, open mindedness, strengthening one's memory and
mental capacity, avoiding diseases, building a strong personality, side
by side with attaining inner peace and tranquility… and so on and so
forth…
Q:How can we delve into the
Esoteric science ?
Do you conduct public lectures and conferences which explain this
science ? And
what is the tuition fee ?
A:
The "Society of friends of the White Knowledge" is the
one who established the "Esoteric Center", the first of
its kind in Lebanon and the Arab world since 1988. The Esoteric Center
offers regular public lectures and conferences on weekly and monthly
bases, in most of the Lebanese regions and in some Arab countries. These
lectures and conferences are Free of Charge and open to everyone.
Their goal is to present the comprehensive knowledge of the human being,
through practical application resulting to consciousness, to every
seeker. For knowledge is the most precious, and priceless, treasure. It
is important for those who wish to learn about our science to attend the
lectures and conferences, various subjects of which tackle the Esoteric
Science in a practical technique and a way of life, in the fields of
self and thought, which benefit every person, whether a scientist,
thinker, researcher, or knowledge seeker. These lectures and conferences
help those who wish to join our center understand the Esoteric sciences
and present ways to help them practically acquire knowledge. In spite of
their rich and deep contents, the lectures and conferences are not
sufficient without reading our books, for they cannot summarize the
contents of our 40 books to date. All explain and deal with all issues
relating to Man… and explain the hidden reasons behind diseases,
especially heart and brain diseases and psychologic complexes, and offer
the types of nutrition that benefit the body and self at the same time;
Presenting over and above the bases of children raising along with the
pedestal of conscious love between the parents… Our books introduce
man to the hidden world that lying in his innermost being… and present
to him the avenue and lifestyle that help him realize it himself,
especially in the series of books: "Know your Memory",
"Know your Thought", "Know your Consciousness", and
"Know your Intelligence" through which the person becomes
aware of how to work on sharpening his intellectual skills and
strengthening his personality… as well as enhancing his day to day
life activities.
A:
Consciousness is the result of experience. If you received a full
description of a certain fruit; about its shape, size, sweetness and
special taste, can you realize its components as a result of this
description only? Of course not. You will not become aware of what we
say unless you see the fruit and taste it yourself. This example applies
to anything in life, subject to your experience.
Q:What is meant by Esoteric Bodies
?
A:
Man is deeper and broader than a physical body stimulated by mere
chemical and biological reactions. Man is body and Soul and in between
lie many components or invisible vehicles of consciousness that form the
lower self and the higher Self. All are vibratory in nature and in
perpetual movement like the Etheric field around the body (Aura). These
Esoteric Bodies constitute, with the physical body, the seven dimensions
of consciousness in one's being, and these are as follows:
1-The Physical body : the practical
application (sensation).
2-The Etheric body (aura) : the nature
of the physical (presence).
3-The Astral body : (feelings).
4-The Thought and Intelligence body :
(mind).
5-The body of Love : (knowledge).
6-The Will body : (the will).
7-The Wisdom body : (the Soul).
Whereas
the physical body is made of visible atoms, the Esoteric bodies remain
unseen for they are composed of vibrations, precisely of vibratory
undulations which can only be seen when the person unfolds his innermost
dimensions, so he sees them by insight (clairvoyance). Simply, the
Esoteric bodies are the vehicles of consciousness or its dimensions,
through which the person realizes the outer and inner world, by means of
their reaction and interaction in the physical body through the brain,
hence the person can sense the facts, feel and think and become aware…
thus the physical senses are sharpened.
Q:How does the Esoterique build
one's personality ?
A:
The Esoteric concept of Individual Personality is different from the
traditional understanding of it, for the Esoterique relies on removing
the negativities which act as dry weeds preventing the growth of one's
personality. For example, Fear, Hesitation, and Shyness are considered
negative qualities that refrain one from obtaining a strong personality.
Building a strong personality is achieved by strengthening the thought
through the four fold pedestal: Thinking, Analyzing, Discrimination, and
Conclusion, which broaden one's knowledge through experiment and
awareness, then working on strengthening concentration, memory and
comparison through the many relevant Esoteric books. Altogether in
addition to other acquisitions which this science provides through a
practical process that leads to a special personality.
Q:What is the shortest
Practical way for Self Realization ?
A:
It is the one that encompasses all the ways… it is the one which takes
the adherent from his innermost being to include everything else at a
later stage… and it is the one that considers practical application as
its core process, so that the adherent becomes aware of the results.
Q: can you deliver you books to other
countries than Lebanon ?
A:

airmailing details and payment methods by logging in to the above
mentioned Links.
Q:What are the pre-requisites for
my acceptance as a member in the "Society of Friends of the White
Knowledge" ?
A:
First, you have to read the books so that the objective of these
sciences becomes clear to you. After your complete understanding, it is
only your own conviction that will decide on your acceptance as a member
in the Esoteric Path which leads to humane perfectness in consciousness.
Q:Why do you give to your sciences
the name of White Knowledge ?
A:
Just like the mixture of the main seven colors is the white, so is the
Esoteric knowledge which contains all sciences within it.
Q:Can I study the Esoteric
