That connection to the Other goes under many guises. Always has, always will. Thomas Aquinas referred to "the Prime Mover", Thomas Merton referred to the many paths up the mountain.
I love the many paths up the mtn, I had/remembered my spiritual experience while looking at the mountain from work having a smoke, small epiphany. then that week in a meeting, indigenous fella says yeah gunneboolah is a very spiritual place, and you don't have to be a black fella to feel it, I was like fkn not wrong brother told him about it. but yeah being on step 9 and doing 10 11 12 everyday feels like I've climbed so much mountain, just a bit further, and I wish all my buddies still at sea level could see the view from up here, 30 years I was stuck down there. last thing I wanna do is rub it in their faces I know how much that used to piss me off but I get it now
