Hi,

Someone can present me with a iron-clad logical argument to the that
working counter to the expansion of consciousness will get me more
money, pussy, fame, power, rhetorical finesse, and health, but that
would, for me, be no argument in favor abandoning my axiom. Valuing
consciousness, for me, is not a means to an end. There's no point in
evaluating whether it's the best way to get me where I want to go.
It's not where I'm going; it's who I am.

This is a profoundly important point, I think -- and really at the core of the discussion. Faith isn't about rational assent to a proposition; faith is about internalizing, about *embodying* the principle, and bringing it to life, as it were.
An exposition of faith is an incarnational narrative, a story about how the present you came to be.
Right?

matter how you use it)
