Jesus says, " I am in the world, but not of it." The writer claims independence from the incarnate, sensual body. Technology does not arise from the sensual body itself, but from the light which feeds it, the light whose source is "outside" the body. Jesus also says, "I am the light of the world." The writer claims his productions are made of light. The text is supposed to illuminate the dark world.

Jesus is born of the brotherhood; it is the "second birth" that is the real birth. Jesus is born of written words, not of the sensual body; Jesus is a fiction. The text offers a mirror which transforms the sensual experience into a purely visual experience. All phenomena are represented, but the full embodied sensual experience is missing. The reality of the text is, and remains "virtual reality."

The claims of independence, of "virgin birth" get us nowhere. Our fictions are never actually free of the sensual, genital body. Technology cannot free the child from his Mother; the whole project is cooked up within her womb.
