The Origins of an Orthodox Ideologue World War I and the Turn to Religion

Our ordinary alterations of character, as we pass from one of our aims to another, are not commonly called transformations, because each of them is so rapidly succeeded by another in the reverse direction; but whenever one aim grows so stable as to expel definitively its previous rivals from the individual’s life, we tend to speak of the phenomenon, and perhaps to wonder at it, as a “transformation.”

These alterations are the completest of the ways in which the self may be divided.

—William James, “Conversion,” The Varieties of Religious Experience
