Some might call it a novel form of perennialism or syncretism.
Many dogmatists would call it heresy.
It appears that every tradition is pointing at the same things.
Not every tradition points at all of the things but they all occupy common ground.
No major legacy tradition has been able to remain unencumbered by nonsensical baggage. Likewise, no major legacy tradition has been able to prevent distortions from creeping into the teachings. Often those distortions ossify into dogma.
I'm doing what seekers have always done, including Buddha, Christ, Blavatsky, Newton, etc.
The words are key. Most people only learn the words and ways of the tradition they were born into. Some convert and, as such, learn a second tradition. Few actually go study them all looking to make connections.
I'm approaching 100 pages worth of written presentation notes that will also be feeding a book I'm writing called "What's in a Name?". Probably the best way to dig into my perspective is to check out Once Bitten episode 562 (link in my profile). It's a pretty thorough deep dive into my theory on the origin of the Baptism ritual. In that sense, my work is sort of like Brian Muraresku's. In fact, my work offers Muraresku's work the teleology it lacks.
