• The spiritual differs from the religious in being able to endure isolation. The rank of a spiritual person is proportionate to his strength for enduring isolation, whereas we religious people are constantly in need of 'the others,' the herd.

But the Christianity of the New Testament is precisely related to the isolation of the spiritual man.
