The Faerie Queene + an old sense that there was something in comparative religion and philosophy got me here. For better or worse. The beauty of the first two books made me stop in my tracks, inspiring me to read source material to get the full effect. Source material that was then expanded into a kind of curriculum spanning may different religious traditions and leading into to, aesthetic philosophy as it pertains to great art as mystical experience as well as metaphysics, phenomenology and psychology as continuations of religious tradition in a secular mode. Fuck I love that poem.
