hen,
I'd share your suspicion but for this slip into "authentic" time that
would also be going from one worldview to another, because a worldview is
just such an outlook on an epoche. I guess I'm not sure what your
question is asking. Certainly, I wouldn't think it so easy to survey or
overcome something like Christendom whose underhandedness is tremendous.
Are you so sure that in the ascription of responsibility and the subject
( in reference to Steve C.) there's not some genealogical connections
between the Chrsitian soul ( over whose care we sweat and strain ) and
what you mention as self-consciousness? Doesn't Cx heighten the pangs of
conscience and ruin our innocence?
