Yarr, ye be looking for the one piece huh? It's still out there for the taking!

Ok, pirate lore aside I reckon you'd find enriching info at H3uni - hands head heart are a pretty fundamental triple in the fourth way search. The Bennet fork was a bit renegade in that it shunned and was shunned by the orthodoxy but was ultimately pretty informed by the lineage. Put shortly in that it conserved the best of the past but adds a futures twist to the search for fundamental novelty.

In my humble opinion what your pointing at is recovery from the deontic box/cross; which is somewhat necessary for any form of convention (language, etiquette etc.) to exist but recovering from this process of 'civilisation' then requires a pretty long recovery. Rehab from 'being muzzled' also seems to require further (real) education so that we can understand the game and see through the complexities of the world to its profound simplicity.

If we're lost in words, symbols and unconscious behaviour etc. and can't see beyond them then there's no escape; which is kinda what traditional seekers are asking masters for - once civilised, there's a need to find our 'autochthonous' selves again to escape the confusion, along with an intentional development path that brings balance to what is otherwise a hazardous journey.

Anyway, musings aside I messaging of 'saving the world soul'; I hope that purpose remains a sustaining source of nourishment for you!
