I think there is something in the Protestant inspired cultures which
idolises the Dynamic, and is neglectful of the need for SQ patterns in which
that DQ might flourish.

I think I see what you're not quite saying and can understand why you might
associate this impulse with Protestantism, but it actually goes back further
and deeper than you seem to imagine. The conflict between socially mediated
religions and the lone-wolf approach can be traced back to a conflict
between the ethnic monotheism of the Levant and the mysticism of pagan
Europe. Even in the stories of King Aurther, which predated Luther by a
thousand years, the knights set out on their search for the grail with each
choosing his own point of entry into that dark forest. Cambell is quite
detailed about all this. And I think its very much worth knowing because
Phaedrus is one of these solitary seekers.
