I listened to the YouTube "Revolt Against the Modern World - Episode 9: The Two Paths in the Afterlife" and was struck with how it echoes both Buddhist and Eastern Orthodox Christian Asceticism. It seems that what is being talked about here is a kind of "Bhakti-Yoga", where the attention is fixed and focused (samadhi) on the Highest, such that a state of union exists before death.
