It may reasonably be taken to mean that we need to give up our collusions, addictions and codependent support of their alienative ways---and start coming into each other's presence as holy and sacred beings worthy of respect and dialogue. It is our collusions, addictions, fixes, fixations, technocracy and our codependent support of their alienative ways---which we need to bring and sacrifice on the sacred altar, so that our lives may be altered by God, rather than controlled by our preoccupations about being in control. Workaholics are unlikely to be still long enough to know God as the honest power of true Love. Workaholics fill all of their time with frantic business designed to keep God's presence hidden from them. They keep open and honest people at a distance and appropriately alienated, and so are not distracted from their addictive work of saving themselves from themselves and from their dishonesty which they cannot perceive or deal with. They fill their holy days of rest with more duties, the fulfillment of which is supposed to save them from damnation---but does not. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
