Hegel noted that philosophy tends to be one sided because each philosophy is a reaction to what came before it. A similar tendency I noted with numinous value. One generation reacts against the over amount of abuse on one side of things and goes overboard on being secular. Then the next generation sees the problem with that, and overreacts and goes in the opposite direction.
The ideal is to find the right balance of values.
[I mean to say like Reb Nahman from Breslov suggested that over excitement in the service of God is also an evil inclination. That is to say fanaticism is not the path of Torah. As God told Moses to warn the people not to go up into the mountain or even to touch it. Saloplsky says the same exact thing about obsession with numinous value is a sign of a schizoid personality. That is a whole long lecture in his series.]
