Ausschnitt aus der Einleitung: Die Esoterik hat sich gerade in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einem erstaunlichen Themenfeld entwickelt. Nirgends tummeln sich so viele Sucher und so wenige Finder. Die Problematik liegt dabei häufig schon im mangelnden Grundverständnis des Wortes selbst. Das typische Bild, das damit assoziiert wird, sind Menschen die im Kreis tanzen, sich in würgereizauslösendem Räucherstäbchennebel hüllen und dabei in Trance trommeln. Doch das ist ein Trugschluss: Das Wort Esoterik bedeutet "die Begründung liegt in Dir". Im Gegensatz dazu versucht die Exoterik, unsere heute herrschende Wissenschaft, alles durch äußere Umstände zu er- und begründen. Infolgedessen ist die Esoterik im eigentlichen Sinne, die Wiederaneignung der Eigenverantwortung mit dem Ziel der Ganzwerdung.
