3.16
Gods, paradoxically, both grant and are expressions of the sense of our world. They both keep the world together and are within the world.
Gods never come from only ourselves. They come from and express a history of decisions.
Gods are equiprimordial with world. Even ‘no gods’ is a variation on gods.
When we’re drawn into things, we’re drawn (knowingly or not) towards an onto-theology. We may sense a spirit, and even dance with it — that is, we let ourselves be enchanted. — A thing has a world to offer.
Things, too, cross into our world, for we, too, have a world to offer. Things always go beyond themselves: attendants can be messengers. — All things are promiscuous.
