"The best way to learn something is to teach it. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
- Richard Feynman

What is the Feynman Technique?
The Feynman Technique is a method for learning and understanding concepts by simplifying them. It was created by Richard Feynman an American theoretical physicist. Here’s how it works:
Step 1:
Choose a concept or topic you want to learn about.
Step 2:
Teach it to someone else—or write it out as if you were explaining it to a child. The goal is to use simple language and analogies that make the concept easy to understand.
Step 3:
Identify areas where you struggle or where your explanation isn’t clear. These are the areas you need to study further.
Step 4:
Refine your explanation, making it as simple and clear as possible.
Step 5:
Repeat the process, refining your understanding until you can explain the concept fully and clearly.

At Esoteric.Love, we’ve designed our entire platform around the Feynman Technique, a powerful method of simplifying complex topics into digestible, accessible content. Each page serves as a concise introduction to a topic, not too long, not too short - perfect for today’s world where attention spans are shrinking.
Our aim is for you to walk away with a clear understanding of each subject, whether you're new to it or looking to spark further exploration. For those eager to delve deeper, we provide references and videos to support your journey into more detailed study.
This is the essence of what we mean by esoteric "hidden knowledge." In the past, knowledge may have been purposefully concealed, but today, we are experiencing an unprecedented revolution in the way information is shared. The internet allows us to instantly access information anywhere in the world. However, as this flood of knowledge grows, our human brains struggle to keep pace.
At Esoteric.Love, we break down complex subjects into bite-sized pieces, offering a springboard for discussion and thought. By adopting the Feynman Technique, we simplify difficult concepts to make them accessible, while providing resources for those who want to explore further.
In a time when the ability to self-educate is more powerful than ever, we’re making the process of learning smoother, faster, and more engaging. Think of Esoteric.Love as a modern-day version of note-taking - where we’ve done the hard work of connecting the dots and summarizing key ideas for you.
Today, instead of wading through volumes of books and ancient texts, you can easily find the knowledge you seek, ready to be absorbed and shared.
Join us in removing the veil from “hidden esoteric knowledge” and learn to truly see with open eyes and an open mind.

At Esoteric.Love, our Symposium Meetings are inspired by the Feynman Technique - a powerful approach to learning that emphasizes simplicity, active engagement, and the clarity that comes from explaining complex ideas in your own words. Created by physicist Richard Feynman, this technique helps uncover knowledge gaps by encouraging learners to break down a topic into its most understandable form. By choosing topics, explaining them to others, and revisiting unclear areas, learners strengthen their understanding and deepen their insights.
