A very thought provoking piece. Could it be that war, unlike the aforementioned farming, contributes to esotericism? Or, maybe the pastoral quality of farming does not goad the mind as does the fear and horror of the battlefield. Perhaps we find farming, the production of sustenance for most of the world's human population, too mundane to consider that farmers may have as qualified a sense of the esoteric but consider it to be commonplace among any intelligent peoples. Perhaps we have not spoken to enough farmers. After all, they are too busy eking out an existence to be able to sit for hours discoursing on worldly events. As for the Amish, it may have something to do with "Look after yourself and the earth (Gaia, ... whatever) that gives you life and you will have a better community. Look after your community, and your community will look after you."
