“Gender, race, profession, nationality, age, position, and the like all become relevant as the “I” in all those bodies comes to think of itself as something constant and essentially connected to larger social realities.”

“Myths proclaim such attitudes toward reality. They organize the way we perceive facts and understand ourselves and the world. Whether we adhere to them consciously or not, they remain pervasively influential.”

“All religion posits such a supreme reality and subsequently builds an entire system of valuation around it. The difference between pseudo-religions like the athlete’s and real ones is that genuine religions proclaim an absolute reality as the centerpoint of their structure. That is, religion insists that what is essentially real and important to you subjectively must also be that which is essentially real and important in the objective world of fact.”
