First sentence: This essay has three main goals: to introduce and somewhat contextualize the papers that follow; to bring out some implicit (and generally unintended) dialogues among them; and, in order to encourage further discussion in future issues of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, to introduce some new perspectives, including the historical development of Western art, cognitive linguistics, and the sacred.
