In the “dynamics” of attack is sacrifice a key idea. It is the pivot
upon which all compromise, all desperate attempts to strike a
bargain, and all conflicts achieve a seeming balance. It is the symbol
of the central theme that somebody must lose. Its focus on the body is
apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The body is
itself a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of saving just a
little for yourself. To see a brother in another body separate from
yours is the expression of a wish to see a little part of him and
sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached
to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a little nearer
or go a little farther off but cannot join.
