Secret teachings, also known as esoteric teachings or hidden wisdom, refer to knowledge, beliefs, or practices that are not widely known or accessible to the general public. These teachings are often reserved for a select group of individuals who have undergone specific initiations, rituals, or levels of spiritual development. The term "secret" does not necessarily imply that the information is kept hidden out of malice or deceit, but rather that it is considered too profound, sacred, or potentially dangerous for uninitiated individuals. In Hebrew, secret teachings can be translated as לימודים סודיים (limudei sodiyim) or חכמות נסתרות (chokhmot nistarot). In Arabic, the concept is referred to as علم سرى (‘ilm sirr), while in Sanskrit, it is known as गुप्त विद्या (gupta vidyā). Secret teachings are prevalent in various religious, philosophical, and mystical traditions, including Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, and certain schools of Buddhism and Hinduism. These teachings often deal with topics such as the nature of reality, the divine, and the path to spiritual enlightenment. The transmission of secret teachings typically occurs within closed communities or through direct teacher-student relationships, ensuring that the knowledge is passed down with proper guidance and context.
