That's a whole lot of words (and drugs) just to arrive at existentialist Christianity. Reading Kierkegaard would have been faster. Just kidding, I liked this essay, even if it is a bit scattered.
An odd thought: Spiritual insight is contagious in a memetic/evopsych way. Successfull spiritual insight translates to more success in life, which leads to normies adapting your behaviour in hope of success, which leads to subconscious adaption of successfull spiritual practises, aka Jordan Petersons': The best way to proselytise is just to be a shining example of a good believer for your religion, like a bonfire.
People just adapt successfull spiritual axioms from other people, I think the most popular ones atm are that quasibuddhist nondualist capitalism thing, general vague nihilism but with values aka metamodernism, and of course existentialist Christianity but I might be missing some.
I'm not really sure that I'm truly trying to proselytise, more like inspiring positive action. Like I can live with diversity of opinions, but I think we have to be trying harder, pushing harder.

It may have indeed. Honestly, quite a lot of people who never engage with spirituality are ironically very spiritually advanced. One of life's twists.
