Don't immanentize the eschaton! A thoughtful summary and evaluation of Eric Voegelin's anti-monism, by David Chapman.
Chapman has come to the same conclusion as Thanissaro Bhikkhu, apparently independently, that what passes for Buddhism in the West is actually primarily a continuation of the Idealism of the early 19th century Romantics.
Chapman also explains that the Illuminatus Trilogy was mainly intended as a critique of Eric Voegelin and the right-wingers of the 1960's and 70's who were influenced by his critique of communism, fascism, and other authoritarian utopian movements.
