Third Resurrection Polemic #2

Does Jackson only see the third resurrection (I may wrongly understand him here) to come about only through the mastery of so-called Sunni “super-tradition”? By what means does one attain that mastery? Perhaps it is true that charismatic leadership seen in the second resurrection is a thing of the past, but does that also mean a denial of some form of social organization replaced by DIY individualism? Perhaps it is worthwhile that one take a hard look into the Sunni tradition and see its means of knowledge transmission and hierarchical leadership manifested through the various Sufi turuq.
