Fear and Trembling

There are three stages of being: reason, intuition and counter intuition which roughly correlate to Kierkegaard's esthetic, moral and religious categories. Kierkegaard, who could have been a great counterintelligence agent, illustrates the religious in Fear and Trembling where he addresses Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac, an act which requires the ultimate leap of faith. Such an act can only be described as counterintuitive since no parent sacrifices their child. There are the exceptions you read about where mothers abandon their children. Of course scripture deals with that too in the story of Moses. Counter-intuition also resembles counterintelligence and hermaphroditism. In all of these you play both ends against the middle.
