I have a suspicion, not yet confirmed (speaking somewhat academically), that the rise in EO interest maps to the general trend toward all things Eastern in the cultural West. I don't know how well equipped the EO is/are, given their decidedly mystical vs. doctrinal bent, to counter the meteoric rise in gnostic / theosophic interest--such that someone could hold some blend of EO and gnosticism/theosophy without too much cognitive dissonance. BUT I don't know, so if this is way off base and offends any of my EO brethren then I mean no offense.
