Cool find.

I found this earlier today,
and it sounded like what you were talking about:

"It is important to remember that in esoteric circles there are no rival traditions, only different ways of approaching the same goal. The East is a place of beginnings, while the West is a place of manifestations. The two are not competitors, but are part of the same whole. The sun tracks from east to west across the heavens and esotericism reflects this movement. In the East religious devotions are practiced at the day's beginning: bathing in Mother Ganga, offering hymns to the sun, performing morning pujas in answer to generations of belief. In the West the devotional practices come at the day's end with vespers, evensong, and the greeting of the Sabbath. The Mysteries themselves belong to no one culture,tribe, or nation, but are part of a universal wisdom that is our inheritance."

"Mankind, more than is realized, is an expression of the part of the earth upon which he subsists.
A rose of the West should not aspire to bloom like a lotus of the East."
