[...] He sometimes is confused about the God concept also. [...]

Your concepts about death and nature, however, force you to see man and nature as adversaries, and also program your experience of such events so that they seem to only confirm what you already believe. [...]

In the past, because of your God concepts, private revelations were indeed highly unwieldy. [...]

[...] Moreover, why would our species want to depend upon as fragile a conception as epiphenomenalism through which to comprehend our reality? [...] Jane and I wouldn’t be surprised if ultimately, as a result of mankind’s restless search for meaning, we didn’t end up returning in a new official way to our ancient concepts of spirit within everything, animate and inanimate. [...]

There is also much here to be explained, since your conception of male and female is greatly distorted. [...]
