There's a hymn my niece put up on her Facebook page, called "Christ has no body now but yours." Many modern Christians think that Christ "exists" when we do Christlike things, and in no other way. William Blake says something similar.

Ooh, deep. Completely irrelevant, but deep.

And how would you recognize what is really deep?    

After all it would bear no resemblance whatsoever to the imaginary profundity you conceive to convey with your name dropping references to this philosopher or that.
