Very interesting, thank you for sharing this. I think it is very much in line with the aspirations of religious Hermetists during the Renaissance. This attitude has many threads and expressions in contemporary (sub)culture which is as it should be. I think we lack a bit the critique of scientific materialism that unites all these intuitions and spiritual experiences, despite the absolute carnage it has inflicted on us all, including in its Lutheran pre-history. We still subscribe to the idea that scientific materialism is a precondition of civilization and social progress. In fact it's quite the opposite. It is a secular religion with no human values leading to nihilism. Science does not require the dogma of scientific materialism, it requires the light of inner experience of the divine.
