I have nothing against spirituality & spiritual stuff. lts religion l don't care for, telling ppl to believe this nonsense & do that evil thing, discriminating against ppl, perpetrating & perptuating wars, etc.. l don't have a problem with Spiritual Beings but l do wish religions would just go away
I'd rather use neo-Romantics, then. Romanticism was a European movement, Transcendentalism the American one. And the American Transcendentals caused the Civil War. Nasty stuff.

Anything valuable and genuinely dionysian from the Awakening has been pretty much been wiped out already. But since humans need these things, they will come back. Looking at the cosmic cycles, I doubt the alpha-wave prophets will be quite so apollonian as you say. There may indeed be some false hedonism from the next 1T (and indeed the current 4T) for them to react to. The condition of pop culture is depraved to the max, but that was not Awakening culture, even if that is its distorted and empty legacy, thanks to the more-recent repression and commercialization process.[/quote]
Millennials are into the boomer sex-positive trend, which degenerated into wanking to Internet porn. Too bad! So there has to be an Apollonian reaction.
Quote:Another belle epoque like the 1880s is possible too in the next 1T and early 2T, which could release more-refined pleasure seeking.
What about early wave (born in late 2020s) being Apollonian, while late wave (born in late 30s) can be devoted to "refined pleasure seeking", since they will remember less of the porn-infested Millennial world?
