1) It's not an occult book, OP is dumb.
2) He says that your religion is just as valid and correct as is Paganism, Islam, etc. He pretty much states that Christians might as well believe in UFOs.
I assume you disagree?

Not at all. His whole project is just undermining all grounds for making definite statements. Its basically just hardline epistemic skepticism.

You really want to box him in as some neo-vedanta hippie or something, when he explicitly isn't.

i dont realy care that much what some druggy believed i have only cursory knowledge of him.
My point was that if you believe we are all one the next step down the epistemic ladder is epistemic nihilism, because it makes knowledge impossible.

he's a trashy new age esotericist, basically his entire argument is based on progressivism and evolutionism, which is generally counter-intuitive to traditional esoteric knowledge
read fall of spirituality and don't fall for promethean demonic trickery, this shit has very close ties with the "elites'" religion, no wonder why if you see into its subversive character.

>> No.20300685

what if I told you evolutionism is more convincing than "new thing bad"

>> No.20300707

>>20300685
Anti evolutionism is rejection of universal equality as a principle, you probably don't understand why someone would decide to reject it, so I see no reason to argue unless you're interested and are in good faith.
