Friends, 

Esoteric philosophy is no recent invention.  

I. M. Oderberg writes in an article published in "Sunrise"  magazine:
 
"The stream of an ancient wisdom flows out of a remote antiquity. At times traces of its existence are observable while at others, when dogmatism prevails, the stream runs underground, its treasures in texts or fragments preserved in old cultures for future mankinds. In eras barren of spirituality, solitary individuals emerge out of the darkness like beacons."

And Oderberg goes on:  

"One whose light has endured for millennia was Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher of the sixth century BC, best known in our school days as a mathematician and formulator of the theorem of the right-angled triangle. There was, however, another side to his teachings: that involving the development and training of character. While we do not have any of his own writings, those of his immediate students and later followers testify to the quality of his life and teaching that survived his personality."
