Esoteric Psychology is one of the four branches of that great body of teachings called the Ancient Wisdom. It describes the nature of Man`s Soul and Personality and the relationship between them, and how one can adapt the Personality to best express the specific intent and purpose of the Soul. Esoteric Psychology is also referred to as the Psychology of the Soul, the Psychology of the Seven Rays and the Science of the Antahkarana.
The Psychology of the Soul
By definition, psychology is the science of the soul - psyche is the soul, and -ology is science, but in practice it has all but completely ignored any existence of an indwelling soul. Instead, psychology had focused almost exclusively on the outermost manifestation of an individual: on the behaviour. Mainstream psychology says that the human personality is the product of its heredity and environment.
