9. Abstract of: The special language of esoteric knowledge The great problem of transmitting inner knowledge from generation to generation and age to age is that of language. The efforts necessary to understand the inner meanings of things are beyond people who do not already know enough to know how important it is that this be understood. "For it is not the hearers of the law who shall be saved," says Paul, "but those who accomplish it." (Romans 2:13) At our present time this transmission has almost come to an end in the West. This is why Praxis Research Institute has, among other studies, been investigating the 'inner rules and language' governing Christian spirituality since the beginning of the 1970's. Some time ago, this investigation led to the conclusion that those rules formed a true discipline with definite knowledge that proved effective in practice, and that it should be understood, taught, practiced, and even extended on this assumption, as a technique augmented by the knowledge needed to practice that technique, rather than offering it as a series of ideas intended merely for intellectual discussion. It was on this assumption that Praxis Research Institute was first formed as a non-profit corporation in 1992. |
