What is the sacred? It seems to be a way that groups bond together by seeing something outside themselves as of special value to them. The group values itself as the only people who can see that sacred thing.What is ideal identity? Let me suggest that it is similar. We each aspire to be the instrument by which others can connect deeply with something they value. And the more that others are compelled and entranced by this connection, the more that we feel we have achieved our ideal of identity.F
