Yes Lepus, it was. (And yes it is commercialised now....unfortunately!)
But if we look deeply we will find these ideas are all related. They are not so separate! "Religion" has made them so with its confines. There is a meeting-ground for all these concepts which are speaking of the same thing in different 'languages'.
Well...that's what I see anyway, but don't mean to force my vision on others who may see differently.
