	Western [[Esotericism]] is built on the notion that there are "deeper truths" and "secret" knowledges that are only accessible to the "special" chosen people.

			A concern with veiled truth and keeping the truth from the unwashed is presented in [[Platonic Orientalism]].

			This archetype is stated explicitly by Russian noblewomen Madam Blavatsky.

	<blockquote>Firstly, the perversity of average human nature and its selfishness, always tending to the gratification of personal desires to the detriment of neighbours and next of kin. Such people could never be entrusted with divine secrets. Secondly, their unreliability to keep the sacred and divine knowledge from desecration. It is the latter that led to the perversion of the most sublime truths and symbols, and to the gradual transformation of things spiritual into anthropomorphic, concrete, and gross imagery -- in other words, to the dwarfing of the god-idea and to idolatry."<ref>Blavatsky, The Key to Theosophy: A Clear Exposition Based on the Wisdom Religion of All Ages.</ref></blockquote>		<blockquote>Firstly, the perversity of average human nature and its selfishness, always tending to the gratification of personal desires to the detriment of neighbours and next of kin.

			'''Buddha''' rejects the "secret doctrine" explicitly. From the Pali Cannon... "The texts of Early Buddhism do not teach a secret doctrine, nor do they leave scope for anything like an esoteric path reserved for an élite of initiates and withheld from others. According to Text III,1, secrecy in a religious teaching is the hallmark of wrong views and confused thinking. The teaching of the Buddha shines openly, as radiant and brilliant as the light of the sun and moon. Freedom from the cloak of secrecy is integral to a teaching that gives primacy to direct experience, inviting each individual to test its principles in the crucible of his or her own experience."<ref>Bodhi, Bhikkhu, ed. In the Buddha’s Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon. Wisdom Publications, 2005. p.80. </ref>
			<blockquote>“These three things, monks, are conducted in secret, not openly. What three? Affairs with women, the mantras of the brahmins, and wrong view.

			“But these three things, monks, shine openly, not in secret. What three? The moon, the sun, and the Dhamma and Discipline proclaimed by the Tathāgata.”(AN 3:129; I 282–83)<ref>Bodhi, Bhikkhu, ed. In the Buddha’s Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon. Wisdom Publications, 2005. p.86. </ref></blockquote>
