“Goldman imagines a dematerialized liquid reality, an alchemical transformation that occurs in the world, via the body, revealing the sacred in the profane and the profane in the sacred. Because this state of “oneness” entails a radical solidarity with every human, indeed, with every particle in the universe, the boundaries that separate the terrestrial from the numinous, the self from the other, human from animal, and subject from object collapse, and all hierarchies are razed. Patriarchy is rendered not only absurd but cosmically powerless.” —Asti Hustvedt
