"Blessed are the poor." As the saying goes. Funny how that saying is said by very wealthy cardinals and other officials...
I think the fact is that the archetype of 'spiritual realization' has for a long time been the monk, the hermit and over time it became characterized that the methods were actually what provided enlightenment rather than them being methods for the individual on their path of seeking.
However, I think that is all artifact from the elite priesthoods that began in Egypt and Atlantis, when divinity was 'preserved' for those who were in power and it became a widespread idea that the common people were unworthy of such experiences. It's the same now, except we do not realize the priesthood is the corporate class, the celebrities and politicians.
However, the fundamental realization in this is that all are equally worthy according to the directions of their free will. Thus, in truth we have conceptualized human civilization according to a pyramidal structure of organization. However, this is just a concept, an idea we have clung to out of comfort and out of the desires of those to remain at the top. Times are changing now though and the top of the pyramid doesn't have as much sway over the bottom and the common people are beginning to see that all this time what has been kept from them is something that was theirs from the very beginning.
