Duméry's religious philosophy
the spirit as constitutive exigency of the absolute
pp. 66-104
Abstract
There is a spirit in the soul, untouched by time and flesh, flowing from the Spirit, remaining in the Spirit, itself wholly spiritual. In this principle is God, ever verdant, ever flowering in all the joy and glory of his actual Self. Sometimes I have called this principle the Tabernacle of the Soul, sometimes a spiritual Light, anon I say it is a Spark. But now I say that it is more exalted over this and that than the heavens are exalted above the earth. So now I name it in a nobler fashion. It is free of all names and void of all forms. It is one and simple, as God is one and simple, and no one can in any wise behold it.1
