Esoteric, UFO, superstition and other
fantasies!
In recent decades, esoteric and similar
trends (parapsychology, the flat-earth movement, homeopathy,
"intelligent design", etc.) have grown into a real fashion. In
masses, "would-be scientists" with much written nonsense can be
found on the book market. What is the cause of their popularity and where
does the people’s credulity come from? Gotthold Ephraim Lessing used the term
"Esoterics" in his book "Hamburgische Dramaturgie" in
connection with people who were privy to the inner happenings of theatre
life. Esoteric = insider! In a city like New York, where there are 1000 rules
(laws, house rules, rules in the lift or in the office, etc.), people try to
circumvent some of these written and unwritten rules because otherwise life
becomes a torment and these regulations often contradict each other. In the
southerly, more rural parts of the US, where one ranch is often miles away
from the other, people still create additional rules (mostly moral ones),
although obviously, there is no need for that because they have too much
space to talk to each other without having to step on each other’s feet. The
reason for this is the feeling of a lack of guidelines. Nowadays there is
also the feeling of a lack of mysticism. Today, one lives in an age in which
he/she is expected to always think logically and seek an explanation for
everything. Not only at the workplace, the hospital or school but everywhere
there is a flood of science and technology. In this way, one creates his/her
own mystical world in his/her private life: his/her ancestors came from the
planet Sirius, his/her soul was in a different body in a previous life, just
to name a few of these fantasies. Of course, one could now ask the question
why he/she does not engage in art when he/she has the need for spiritual
things. An explanation for this is probably not that complicated. For
example, to find satisfaction in music, one should ideally learn to play a
musical instrument, and this will take years to produce a fair success. The
same applies to painting. To actually get a better picture of this art, you
need to grab the brush or at least the pen. However, a human is basically
addicted to orgasm or hormone doses. He/she gladly leans back and waits for
this feeling to be communicated to him/her by others without much self-effort,
and this semi-knowledge of esotericism is very suitable for that.
