“When people first discover the esoteric, they become like people who hear Beethoven for the first time and start demanding to know why they weren’t introduced to it earlier, and then they start to push it on everyone else, and acting shocked and amazed that more people don’t know about it. Unfortunately, most people simply don’t care about the esoteric. And those of us who do, can only say to the newcomers, ‘Yes, yes. Welcome to the club. Now would you please calm down?’ They fail to take into account that most people simply don’t want to know about it.”
