“ Every human reality is a passion in that it projects losing itself so as to found being and by the same stroke to constitute the In-itself which escapes contingency by being its own foundation, the Ens causa sui , which religions call God. Thus the passion of man is the reverse of that of Christ, for man loses himself as man in order that God may be born. ”
