Astotericism and the Academy Rejected Knowledge in Western Culture

In the study of asthotericism we are studying all this stuff that has been rejected for these historical reasons. I doubt whether there is such a thing as the esoteric tradition. There are certain similarities and there are certain similarities but it's very disparate as well. This whole waste basket, that's what we are studying. It's not a question of saying I believe in it or not believe in it. Maybe I find it nonsense or notIt is undisputable that these are very important dimensions of Western culture that we don't know about because we have discarded them since the 19th century. We end up with a one-sided false distorted view of Western culture by discarding these currents.
