SPIRIT IS NEVER AN OBJECT; NOR IS SPIRITUAL REALITY AN OBJECTIVE ONE. IN THE SO-CALLED OBJECTIVE WORLD THERE IS NO SUCH NATURE, THING, OR OBJECTIVE REALITY AS SPIRIT. HENCE IT IS EASY TO DENY THE REALITY OF SPIRIT. GOD IS SPIRIT BECAUSE HE IS NOT OBJECT, BECAUSE HE IS SUBJECT. THE REALITY OF SPIRIT IS NOT AN OBJECTIVE ONE, BUT A REALITY OF ANOTHER KIND, AN IMMEASURABLY GREATER ONE, A MORE PRIMAL ONE... THE SUBJECT IS MORE THAN MERELY THOUGHT; HE IS VOLUNTARIST AND EXISTENTIAL. - NICHOLAS BERDYAEV, SPIRIT & REALITY
