One sees and breathes, but seldom does one notice or state that one is seeing or breathing. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 48, Sentence #140)

Goreans are unlikely to forget such things. Many Goreans, as I understand it, though such things are seldom made explicit, being more taken for granted than proclaimed, more understood than expressed, have a view of the world and reality which might be found surprising by the average individual of Earth. It is difficult to find words for this as the feelings and attitudes tend to be pervasive, or nearly so, and thus tend to be so obvious or familiar that they are seldom articulated or named, particularly by the Goreans themselves. One sees and breathes, but seldom does one notice or state that one is seeing or breathing. In any event, I can do little more than gesture or point at such things, with some clumsy, dull, haplessly inadequate words. It does not occur to the average Gorean, for example, that nature is divided into two distinct substances which somehow, incredibly, one in space, the other not, interact with, and affect, one another. Nature is one, it is thought, and worthy of existence. - (Avengers of Gor)
