Esoteric Psychology
Esoteric Psychology, as taught in the context of the Ageless Wisdom tradition and by Alice Bailey, is a branch of psychology that explores the spiritual and metaphysical dimensions of human consciousness and behavior. It differs from mainstream or exoteric psychology, which focuses primarily on the study of the mind and behavior from a materialistic or secular perspective.
Esoteric Psychology draws upon the Ageless Wisdom, also known as the Ancient Wisdom or Perennial Philosophy. This tradition suggests that there is a timeless body of spiritual knowledge and wisdom that has been passed down through generations and across cultures. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and the spiritual evolution of humanity. A central concept in Alice Bailey's teachings is the existence of a spiritual hierarchy of enlightened beings who guide and assist humanity's evolution. This hierarchy includes spiritual teachers, Masters, and ultimately the idea of a divine source or cosmic consciousness.
