Esotericism and psychotronics or secret knowledge

 The word esotericism comes from the Greek and means internal. Inner, meaning hidden somewhere in the depths of the essence of humanity, inaccessible, unknowable. Esotericism therefore means secret knowledge, hidden inside and only attainable through extrasensory perception. Esotericism is therefore knowledge and experience accessible only to a close circle of selected individuals. Esotericists diligently protect their secrets from the uninitiated. For this reason, they lock themselves away in secret societies
 and brotherhoods, separating themselves clearly from the outside world. Esoteric associations can be found in various cultures. Already in antiquity, secret mystery groups existed, such as the Egyptian cult of the goddesses Isis and Osiris and the Syrian cult of Adonis. Only the masters had access to the mysteries. Admission to the community followed a solemn ordination and involved difficult initiation rites. The aim of the mysteries was salvation, so adepts were required to purify their souls, scarred by sensuality, in order to pass without the slightest hindrance through the future judgement and the perilous road to eternal light. Asceticism was to be the preparation for salvation. Real divinisation was to be achieved through sacred meals, during which, it was believed, the deity himself was eaten. In the Middle Ages, the esoteric tradition developed above all in German Hasidism. Through the Spanish Kabbalah, the mystical direction of Judaism, esotericism became a folk religion. It was believed that the widespread spread of this secret science heralded the end of the world.
Unexplained phenomena - the subject of psychotronics research
Unexplained phenomena described in esoteric literature are the subject of research in parapsychology and especially psychotronics. It is generally thought that psychotronics is the domain of magic rather than science. This thinking is accompanied by the veil of mystery inherent in esotericism. According to parapsychologist Jozef Świtkowski, a phenomenon is ascribed a magical character when the conditions of its origin seem to contradict the known laws of nature. In this sense, some objects of psychotronic research can appear magical, especially those that are awe-inspiring, repulsive and attractive at the same time. Nowadays, most of these phenomena manage to be explained by scientific methods. However, there are some whose essence cannot be fathomed by rational means. Psychotronics is already an independent, interdisciplinary branch of knowledge, which - as defined by Zdenek Rejdák - deals with forces acting at a distance. It considers interactions both between people and between people and the organic and inorganic world around them. These interactions involve the energetic forms of the higher organised living matter. Psychotronics also investigates the energetic essence of phenomena traditionally known under the concepts of telepathy, telekinesis, telegnosis (clairvoyance) and a number of other seemingly inexplicable internal missions of the body.


The phenomenon of telekinesis is born in the psyche of young people
Let us take a closer look at the phenomenon of telekinesis, for example. For quite a long time now, parapsychologists have been able to establish a certain regularity in its course. It has been noted, for example, that where strange movement of objects takes place, there is usually a young person in adolescence, and it is this person who tends to be the unconscious source of this activity. Following this lead, it has been established that the process of puberty is sometimes accompanied by a temporary ability to induce spontaneous telekinetic phenomena. This ability appears unexpectedly and passes away. However, it can sometimes be restored with special training. This allows scientists to observe telekinesis under laboratory conditions. What is the mechanism of this phenomenon and its mysteriousness? One theory is that living organisms emit and absorb gravitational waves that affect objects.


The mysterious phenomenon of telekinesis inspires cultural creators and has therefore been adapted for use in literature, art, films and TV series. Suffice it to mention the cheerful convention of our Polish series of recent years: The Ranch and The Foster Family, where the "magic tricks" of the young protagonists sow fear in the community. But telekinesis is a genuine, albeit unnatural, phenomenon. Let's get to know one story, whose protagonist is a twelve-year-old boy Jimmy, son of James Hermann, an American airline representative. The story takes place in the United States in February 1959. One day, the boy's mother telephoned Hermann's office to inform her husband that six bottles in the house had suddenly "opened". They contained liquids such as solvent, hydrogen peroxide, camphor spirit and soda. And while these were undoubtedly chemicals, it was difficult to find a cause that could have caused six corks to explode at once, especially as the bottles were in four different rooms. Since then, the Hermanns have had no peace. In their house, bottles "flew" in the bathroom, the sugar bowl "danced" around the room, the globe "flew" impetuously through the hall, the portable gramophone strangely scratched the wooden table and the heavy bookshelf stood "upside down". No one was able to help the family. It was only when psychologist Dr Pratt from Duke University arrived on site and conducted a series of psychotherapeutic interviews with Jimmy that the situation returned to normal.
