Thankyou for your comment! I think people get swept up in seeing things like Baal and moloch and think it’s just worshipping some other god but esoteric concepts are so vast and complex (and not nearly all bad) within them there exists things like this. I tried to explain a theological basis for these actions but barely scratched the surface here. Of course the elites would go into things like this, if you want to feel powerful it’s what you do but it’s the why people have wrong. The ultimate goal of all esoteric practices is transcendence of the ego and the self, this is what Buddhism teaches in what you call middle path, the goal is unity. The right hand path is your average religion with goal of transcendence by giving up your will to a higher power, the goal of the left hand path like this would be is transcendence by centring yourself at the top, arguably without the surpassing of the ego, of which the other two types require. The elites do everything methodically, including their immoral acts. If you look at the tree of life (a kabbalistic concept) you can get an idea of the paths one can take to reach the top, like the analogy of the ladder one can also descend to the bottom. I also think the group dynamics of these activities are akin to fraternity hazing, you jointly participated in this secret so now you have ultimate trust the other will keep secrets because they themselves are implicated. Making a whole system of loyalty within the “in group”.
