[Photon absorption serves as a metaphor for interpellation.

A person receives (absorbs) a broadcast message. The message interpellates the whole person. When the person receives the signal, “she” hears a call.

It is as if ‘religion’ broadcasts a waveform that matches the receiver of the human mind.

Religion addresses us from a distance.

In order to do this, there must be a distance.

This is where God, the Other, comes in.

God provides the space for regarding ourselves.]
