Carnal conception
Trades a Priceless Present for
A "personal dream."

Egocentric thought
Trades a Priceless Present for
An idea called “me.”

Relative thinking
Trades a Priceless Present for
A dream of Being.

[Rich Note: For those more theologically inclined, the "the Kingdom of God," "the House of the Lord" or the "Mind or Consciousness of God" might be substituted for "A Priceless Present" in any of the offerings.]
