Most of the ones who weren't predisposed drop it out of disinterest or get thrown out by the system. Dedicated practicing occultniks are rare so it's hard to say. Profound change and occult knowledge aren't for everyone, this isn't therapy.

Nice trips. I take some issue with the perennialist narrative if only because so much of it comes down to interpreting a religious experience into the language of one's peers, constrained as that is by whatever theocratic medieval shithole one happens to have made their realization in. In other words, you have to call 'it' god in a lot of cases. Deus sive natura and all that jazz. Buddha, as the scriptures evidence, came about in a period of intense religious debate in India so he was able to ditch that particular prior without too much trouble from any sort of ecclesiastic authorities (though Buddhism as a religion was destined to become a church all the same, just one without an absolute creator god). The god of philosophers is a sort of brood parasite upon the god of priests; which is what I see happening in all these systems where henosis is taught as the highest most esoteric truth. If you are god then god collapses as a concept.
