...but from what I understand is that Carse resists — academically at least — perennial-philosophy-ish ideas that would flatten the nuance and irredeemable contrasts between complex religious histories and people.
If he can say that 'religion in its purest form is a vast work of poetry', then I suspect that Carse may be sympathetic to your statement about 'poetic voicings'. Perhaps he just wouldn't assert that all these human expressions correspond to the same mystical reality/experience.
1) My sense is there are effectively 2 diff. projects. The modern academic study of religion largely starts w observable cultural traditions and tries to define "religion." Contemplatives, like yours truly, look to them as expressions of, and resources for, experiential practice.
2) There are many types of contemplative/ meditative/ mystical/ transpersonal experience. But there's a core "apophatic" current of practice observable across cultures. That practice entails cultivating a kind of honest experiential immediacy that's literally before words.
