Dear Sam,

"I feel [Girard] has captured something essential about the social level."
Sure. 'Mimetics' is THE essence of the 3rd level and 'greed' (or less
morally biased: 'wants'/'wishes') is the essence of humanity. 'Homo sapiens'
is the animal that knows what it wants and mistakes wants for needs.
I don't know Andre Trocme. I do indeed like your New Testament summary. I'm
not sure whether the 'you' that dies because of NOT loving is the same 'you'
that is killed BECAUSE OF loving. Seen in the light of my Genesis3 poem, I
feel it is not. (www.antenna.nl/wim.nusselder/schrijfsels/genesis 3.html) I
would write: "Unless I love, I die. If I love, 'I' will be killed, but I
will survive." It's a matter of identification with sq or DQ.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
