To be is to be seen to be; to know that something is is to believe that it is seen, to participate in that seeing without coinciding with the seer. Everything that matters is thus an act of faith, and since we cannot see ourselves we must merely believe ourselves to be seen. It is quite in order then that certain things might matter more than ourselves, for example, the belief in an absolute seeing, or not. Everything is a moveable counter in a game of reflections until it gains standing, perhaps by breaking symmetry. For a matter to have standing in the world is for it to be consistent over transpositions of perspective. If you see it, if it matters to you, and they see it too, then it is worthy of my belief, and my knowing of it may be real. Transpositions in perspective being a social talent we acquire in order to inherit the world. In none of this need I see anything at all, I need only look to you to check whether you see something, without actually seeing you, and presumably you are doing the same. Descartes expressed this by placing 'I am' on the far side of the 'therefore', the assertion on the near side being in the form of a 'there is', or a 'they see'. Everything that has standing becomes more or less an allegory of the constitutive seeing from which we are alienated, and as such points out of the frame, or would if we could follow it. Thus everything is spiritual whether we know it or not, and especially when not.
