Do a little more scanning, you should find gnosis and many other 'spiritual'
oriented paths veer far off course with theism in many ways. Ontological
reductions toward archetypal figures aren't necessary (gods), interestingly
I've found the newer pagan paths to be the most advanced and flexible. In
both, /you/ choose, they seem to be acquainted with the notion of many
schools, then there's life. Kinda like Taoism's syncretism in that respect I
guess. You could speak with any of these for hours and know they are talking
about the sciences but seeking hermetic constructions in all angles, with no
mention necessary of 'fantastic' stories. I think the term is 'eclectic
pagan'. That is, for /some/, of course..
