So last night, considering all the ramifications of letting go of God and Godding, a great man came to my help:
“When one man suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.”
R. M. Pirsig
The initial feeling was one of dizziness, since now the world was held together by physical forces and none else. But then I asked: hasn’t it always been like this, and haven’t miracles been the only way for the Divine to manifest itself? And musing thus, I fell asleep, to dream of rains of codfish.
P.S. Why moths fly towards flame.
