You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

The soul can never be corrupted with the corruption of the body, but it is like the wind which causes the sound of the organ, and which ceases to produce a good effect when a pipe is spoilt.

The spirit desires to remain with its body, because, without the organic instruments of that body, it can neither act, nor feel anything.

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.

The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.

I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.
