Answer:
its like a womb
where he would turn more religious
Explanation:
in his article “Body Double: Saint Augustine and the Sexualized
Will,” James Wetzel offers the complementary suggestion that a key
metaphor for Book 7 is that of a womb.10 When Augustine turns inward,
he finds himself in a place of unlikeness. There, Wetzel writes, “he is
unlike God, who is presumptively spirit, and unlike the created order,
which is presumptively material.”11 In that place of unlikeness,
Augustine hears God’s voice from on high: “I am the food of the mature;
grow then, and you will eat me. You will not change me into yourself
like bodily food: you will be changed into me” (7.10.16)
