To seek spiritually is to break the covenant of the commonplace. Many, many communal bonds are made of this negative-magnetic filament by which souls are bound to their common clinging, their common despair. This bespeaks a general state of ontological fear. To dissolve these bonds is precisely to face losing the principal ties that bind. Make no mistake. Seeking the spirit can be lonely and arduous enterprise. Thus the first stage of seeking the spirit is always registered as a form of overcoming resistances.
