hmm... sorry i cant help you there... i dont even remember the chapter and it was a library book... all i remember is the thought that struck me.. and of course i remember it was temples book... but i guess youre right.. maybe temples context could have been diff... maybe i forgot the original textual meaning but hung on to what came to me.... but well what i posted here is exactly what i wanted to post and meant... but if you should like to know the original words of Temple.. then.. i think it was his book of Gifford lectures ...long time back... maybe you can fish out the quote and context... and make a new post;-)...
