Abstract
Efforts at human self-understanding have shifted to the cybernetic brain, with its "spirited" experience. The sciences give precursor accounts of the origins of ethics in mutually beneficial helping behavior toward kin and tribe. In faith universalized, the inclusive benefit is open to all. On becoming so remarkably spiritually informed, this primate, rising from the dust of the Earth, bears the image of God.
