Andries, if you take k as a route to acid like bliss states, you've got it in one, our approach to spirituality was always that the bliss of merging with god consciousness was at the core of all spiritual truth.MC Phats then worked VERY strongly on linking himself in as the source of, and seriously at the core of, any experience.
For suburban premies like me, where k had a much more pronounced role in our reality model as balanced against gm's role, & if like me you then found the k working, and you thought the techniques and the practice were seriously the bees knees, voila, he has a career and we have a sub zen cum bhakti yoga guru.
The abti intellectualism of it was one of the major attractors.
Bliss junkies really, and still have a bit of a problem with that one.
