Well it doesn't sound very interesting when you put it like that. Campbell looked for patterns in mythology. Jung looked for the same in dreams. Looks to me like WS is looking for the same in comparative religions with a just a dash of special sauce. This always has a campy appeal for some philosophy bums the same way outsider art appeals to some followers of the arts. (Guilty.)
Some people think curiosity about dreams and other products of the unconscious is like a curiosity about what we leave in the toilet bowl. Not me. I like poking around in there and seeing what I can find.
The phenomenology of the mind is endlessly fascinating. (Truth be told, hooey is one of the important ingredients in special sauce.)
