Spirituality (n.) always means holding back some libido that would otherwise be squandered at once in sexuality — part flows into the spiritual expression, the rest sinks into the unconscious and wakes the images that correspond to it.
Spirituality (n.) cannot be willed: principles we choose stay under our control and so can never rule us — which principle rules our attitude is far more a matter of fate.
Spirituality (n.) shows its conceptions among all peoples with any articulate consciousness, so their denial by a civilized people is a sign of degeneration.
Spirituality (n.) points to a goal beyond the natural man, an absolute necessity for the health of the soul — the Archimedean point from which alone the world can be lifted off its hinges and nature turned into culture.
Spirituality (n.) built by splitting off the instincts is a fake: nothing is more repellent than a furtively lewd spirituality — as distasteful as crude sensuality; each must live off the other.
