“ …in all human beings the desire to enter into contact with the sacred is counteracted by the fear of being obliged to renounce the simple human condition and become a more or less pliant instrument for some manifestation of the sacred.
Mircea Eliade in Shamanism, quoted by Morningstar. (via mills)
I like this quote a lot. And (but?), at first, I thought it was somehow taken from “Morningstar”, you know, that service that, like, rates mutual funds? I found that particularly noteworthy, vis a vis fear and the simple human condition, lol.
