"To believe in the supernatural is not simply to believe that after living a successful, material, and fairly virtuous life here one will continue to exist in the best-possible substitute for this world, or that after living a starved and stunted life here one will be compensated with all the good things one has gone without: it is to believe that the supernatural is the greatest reality here and now."
--T.S. Eliot

I like the idea of realizing the bigger picture of the greatest reality here and now and not to confine it only to the future. However, I don't like that the quote seems to put the supernatural at odds with the natural...nature itself will be redeemed and it waits to be so.
Maybe I misunderstand.
