<div>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

Artur,<br>in your quote of the translation of "iniciação"<br>it is called
"exoteric" practice which is the opposite, I think, of <br>esotric. I have
always called Open Space Technology an exoteric method <br>it being very
transparent with no mumbojumbo or secret parts visible <br>only to the "inner
circle" ....<br>So calling it an initiation is not attaching "esoteric" to it
