Thx for the reference ‘At the gates of spiritual science’. Rudolf Steiner, right?
The point is, before discovering DJ / Gigi, I went a completely different “spiritual” path: Western (ancient and mordern) philosophy and taoism. And in fact I rather avoided going to deep nito European but also Indian mystery schools, considering that well understood philosophy and knowledge of history is doing the job. And I saw invisible forces only in form of abstract entities or principles, like Yin and Yang indeed.
For example, I saw the rationalist materialist principle getting stronger let’s say since the beginning of the Renaissance, and like in the Yin-Yang balance, it creates necessarily a counter movement: Romantism, subjectivity, traditionalism etc. So I saw no need for Mystery Schools nor significant influence by them, as they were much more the manifestation of this historical counter movement. For instance, Romantism started in the late 18th century and went on through the whole 19th, so the idea that there was a mystery school intervention in late 19th is still strange to me: except if these “Mystery Schools” were immaterial of course But that’s not the way they talk about…
Edit: I still don’t know, and it seems to me, these two different perspective and not very compatible…
