" Ideals and commitments are thus commonly the expression of entheos, the god within each of us, which accounts for the emergence and governance of our thoughts and actions. Scientifically explained, the god within is the manifestation of the attributes and attitudes we each derive from our hereditary endowment and our experiential past - the biological forces which generates the energy and provide the direction for our lives. This explanation is obviously incomplete, since it does not take free will into account, but at least it points to the mechanisms by which the responses we make to surroundings and events determine the characteristics that makes each one of us unique, unprecedented, and unrepeatable person."
- A God Within, René Dubos
