Question by Indo-Europeanist: Important works on Mystics vs. Organized Religion?
Can anyone give me references in the scholarly literature to the cultural conflict or at least dichotomy between mystics and organized religion? Either general discussions or, for example, mainstream Christianity vs. the Gnostics or other mystics; early Yoga vs. the Vedas; Taoists vs. other Chinese religions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

first if you dont believe mystics are “organized” you are mistaken. imo
they have to be organized in a limited way or they dont make any MONEY !!!!

first of all Jesus “DID” organize a church, and ordained apostles. so the argument against organized religion is a non-sequetor.
however, Satan also organizes religion in direct mockery. either that or God organized all churches and THEY all fell into apostacy.
