They don't call it, "the straight and narrow", for nothing!

"Good and evil" arise at the brink of the Unknown, as we bring Order to our furthest extents by clothing the unknown in threads drawn from our experiential memory, making vital associations to it. So we power our fears, with the creations of fearsome images. So we create gods and devils, which become powerful as we feed them our vital energy by our attention to them.

Your values are distilled from your experience; special power of cohesion emanates from the sensory aspect of experience. Any value you can "create" must depend from experience--there's no other possible source. Experience has a sensory aspect, an emotional component, and a mental articulation. Any value that does not derive from personal experience must be counterfeit. All your values are based, or rooted, in the experience of your body. Sensory experience engenders emotional experience, as stimulus/response cycles become habitual, yielding specific complexifications corresponding to "emotions", feelings. Mental articulation is the fundament of mental experience wherein the sensation and the feeling are triangulated with a "name", a symbol that MEANS a peculiar merging of contexts, representing a unique position in time and space.
