Reply #35: “…but of what? Does "it" really matter?”

Perhaps nothing. Perhaps everything.
Like stepping towards Sheldrake…perhaps there is a truth to be gleaned…only the investigation and the preparedness to undertake it will tell.
Perhaps a process of sorting pearls from dross, smoothing the way, spreading the knowledge of prior experience/investigation.

Take one from many potential- Castaneda, academic fraud/hoaxster, never did the Anthropology he claimed, never met the people he reported-‘La Catelina’ the ‘witch’ is actually the Hotel in which Dr Tim Leary set himself up. Castaneda, saw himself as engaged in a battle against Leary for the minds of a generation. Having worked in psych services I have met many such minds…knowing the truth behind Castaneda helps me and helps them sort out the shit from the shugar.

“There being no secret behind anything, just interconnectnets of everything”

Again, Perhaps, perhaps not. There remain things that can be examined/verified to be called true or at least probable and things that can/should be disguarded as useless bullshit.

The OP raises the issue of messianic return- Perhaps no one is returning, Perhaps they are all coming back on a crowded buss, perhaps the thief has been and gone.

I’m suggesting there is enough information/clues to suggest that the latter may well be the case.
At least as much evidence as Sheldrake provides for esp.

Enough evidence to prompt an interested person to enquire further. Not interested?…cool.

But perhaps the ‘secret’ is an open secret and perhaps it matters to the very core of our understanding of “interconnectedness” and what we understand of it and do with it.

Jiddu was only of interest and only introduced inasmuch as he leads back to the Theosophical Societies study and conclusion.

All the best
