Belief Has a Religious Substructure
belief has a religious substructure. If you go all the way down into someone’s belief structure, right to the bottom, what you find are religious presuppositions. The person might not agree, but I don’t think that matters. I think generally people don’t know. [1]
Interpretations
Religion & Divinity Jesus is a metahero - the distillation of thousands of lives, taking their best bits. His fundamental mode is true speech. The divine is what is of ultimate transcendental value.
God is whatever lies outside our knowledge structure. Totalitarianism makes knowledge structures all-encompassing. They know everything. (That is the unconstrained vision, no?)
The highest state is coming into alignment. Magical things happen as the logos manifests itself.
Whatever your highest ideal is, that is your 'God'. It's why rage and lust were regarded as gods in the past, because they could drive people along.
Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, because you’ll never get away with it
There truly is no separation between you and the world; even if you see a drunk in the gutter, that is you, because it causes a disturbance in your field. If you figure out how to solve a problem for someone else, you figure out how to solve it for yourself.
Christ is who you can be, if you were everything you could be
The hero story is of someone voyaging beyond order and taking on the dragon. Because that’s where the gold is. And we know that; that’s why we go to the movies which tell us that again & again.
