What is so wonderful is that what has been regarded as esoteric for so long, is actually exoteric in availability and access. Although I am not actually involved in OS as yet, from what I'm reading, it seems that is precisely the function it performs, opening the mind to see beyond its conditioned, self-and-other-imposed limitations of viewpoint and more. - Doug
Dear Artur, in your quote of the translation of "iniciação" it is called "exoteric" practice which is the opposite, I think, of esotric. I have always called Open Space Technology an exoteric method it being very transparent with no mumbojumbo or secret parts visible only to the "inner circle" .... So calling it an initiation is not attaching "esoteric" to it in my line of thinking Greetings from Berlin mmp **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.
