To say that something is esoteric and needs initiation is redundant. As for the metaphysics of religious traditions, what do you think is it that allows these various traditions you listed in OP to have interfaith dialogue in the first place? Surprise, surprise, you find transcendence being taught in all of them. Do you perhaps think that the observation that a Mahayana Buddhist monk wears different clothes than an Daoist is a valid cause for conflict? You may entertain the notion that you might be a brainlet, but you are not THAT big of a brainlet, are you? Because you did notice that we live in an age of religious pluralism, did you? So will you please leave people cataloguing tearing each other over the tiniest of superficial, exoteric differences to people like Twitter leftists and other witch hunters, while the saintly men and women that know better can pray for peace together according to their particular traditions, languages, etc.? Are we going to have a problem or what?
