I'm just a "regular guy", and I think there is a neo platonic resurgence on the horizon. Maybe I'm wrong but I describe it as a "non religious Hellenistic spiritual path". I think that having an experience of transcendental Beauty helps one be more open to the words of Plotinus. I found neo Platonism after searching for something that might explain an ineffable encounter I had with that "Beauty". I was a staunch materialist at the time and the way that Plotinus and Plato approach the transcendent allowed me to find ways to grok that experience without feeling "weird" about delving into the world religion or new age.
