“‘The Ultimate Ground of Being’ is Paul Tillich’s decontaminated term for ‘God’ and would also do for ‘the Self of the world’ as I put it in my story for children. But the secret which my story slips over to the child is that the Ultimate Ground of Being is you. Not, of course, the everyday you which the Ground is assuming, or ‘pretending’ to be, but that inmost Self which escapes inspection because it’s always the inspector. This, then, is the taboo of taboos: you’re IT.”
