Good insights.

If anything, the "Elite" overshot when they tried to normalize the Perennial philosophies from the East and sculpt that into the Western ethos.

"All the religions got somethings right; but they all fell short... WE however think that we got the whole picture and can now syncretize everything to best fit the world today"

^An Oversimplification perhaps; but in essence the Perennial gist is captured like so.

Many a Westerner (perhaps former Christians; outright Atheists/Materialists or never really concerned about religious matters to begin with) was rightfully disgusted by such an ideology.

Especially so when its practitioners do not declare their intentions and seek to covertly spread their silliness. Once they did; the "You will own nothing & be happy" drivel got pushed.

Evil in general is very vocal; so it is impossible to hide once a certain crescendo is reached.

I've spent more time in woods than in schools.

Real "paganism" is never defeated, it merely retreats home, and grows stronger as it waits quietly.
