Self-sufficient…

We now inhabit this self-sufficient immanent order, even if we believe in transcendence. Indeed, Taylor emphasizes the ubiquity of the immanent frame: it is “common to all of us in the modern West” (p. 543). So the question isn’t whether we inhabit the immanent frame, but how. Some inhabit it as a closed frame with a brass ceiling; others inhabit it as an open frame with skylights open to transcendence.—James K. A. Smith, How (Not) to Be Secular, 93 (emphasis original)

I don't know about you, but I'm dwelling in one with the skylights open!
