โThe church has made a fetish, an idol, of Christ, and has refused to see the profoundly universal significance of the Incarnation.

โJung believed that formal Christianity had misunderstood Christ and the Incarnation. The incarnation did not stop with Christ, but continues in and through us, and to understand our relation to the infinite is to realize the incarnation ๐ข๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ด.โ - David Tacey

Personal: I love this. I have come to be very aware of how my unfolding sense of who I am is constructed by others. Identity feels like oneโs skin; but, the metaphorical fabric is made from threads of relationships organic with me. People who have meant the most are, quite properly, โunder my skin.โ
we may have a โfeelingโ for another person with whom we may have a โtouchingโ experience.โ - Julian Jaynes
โIn the abstractions of human relations, the skin becomes a particularly important metaphier. We get or stay โin touchโ with others who may be โthick-โ or โthin-skinnedโ or perhaps โtouchyโ in which case they have to be โhandledโ carefully lest we โrubโ them the wrong way;

from what was mirrored,โ writes Richard Rorty, โand thus would not be a mirror at all. The notion of a human being whose mind is such an unclouded mirror, and who knows this, is the image, as Sartre stays, of God.โ An attempt to escape this condition is an attempt to escape from humanity.
The problem with Western philosophy is that imagery is always trying to transcend itself. The map is not the territory. You and I can speak of our maps in edifying ways; but, thatโs all we can do. โThe notion of an unclouded Mirror of nature is the notion of a mirror which would be indistinguishable
