"According to Guenon, Confucianism was the exoteric form and Daoism the esoteric form of the Chinese religion. Buddhism is a special case, since it was at its inception primarily a metaphysic and a path of self-development. As such, it could be absorbed into other traditions, as happened in China and Japan. In India, its metaphysical teaching become incorporated into Advaita Vedanta so it barely survives as a separate religion." - Cologero Salvo of Gornahoor, from the comments of the article "The Exoteric Path"

Of all traditional doctrines, perhaps Islamic doctrine most clearly distinguishes the two complementary parts, which can be labeled exoterism and esoterism.

In Arabic terminology, these are the shari‘ah, literally the ‘great way’, common to all, and the haqiqah, literally the ‘inward truth’, reserved to an elite, not because of some arbitrary decision, but by the very nature of things, since not all men possess the aptitudes or ‘qualifications’ required to reach knowledge of the truth.

To express their respective ‘outward’ and ‘inward’ natures, exoterism and esoterism are often compared to the ‘shell’ (qishr) and the ‘kernel’ (lubb), or to the circumference and its center.

Maybe the real philosopher's stone are the friends we made along the way.

Whatever happens to you, don't despair.

Even if all the doors are closed, there will be a secret path for you,
that no one knows.

You can't see it yet, but many paradises are at the end of this journey.
