"Once metaphysical ideas have lost their capacity to recall and evoke the original experience
they have not only become useless but prove to be actual impediments on the
road to wider development.
One clings to possessions that have once meant wealth;
and the more ineffective, incomprehensible, and lifeless they become the more obstinately people cling to them.
Naturally it is only sterile ideas that they cling to;
Thus in the course of time the meaningful turns into the meaningless."
"the symbols no longer express what is now welling up from the unconscious as the end-result of the development of Christian consciousness through the centuries.
This end-result is a true antimimon pneuma, a false spirit of arrogance, hysteria, woolly-mindedness, criminal amorality, and doctrinaire fanaticism,
a purveyor of shoddy spiritual goods,
spurious art, philosophical stutterings, and Utopian humbug, fit only to be fed wholesale to the mass consumers of today."
