The philosophical way of thinking is slightly different from the ordinary way of thinking of the man in the street. I do not mean that you should be philosophers. All our thinking is commercial. We cannot think in any other way. Anything that we speak of in regard to the Spirit has to be metempirical and we have to shed the prejudice of earthly ways of thinking even before we take the first step in the practice of the way of the Spirit.
All prejudices have to be shed.
This is one of the conditions of emptying yourself. It does not mean that we have to vomit what we have eaten. We have to vomit the prejudices of the, mind. Hard it is to overcome a prejudice. And prejudice has grown like a fungus or a mushroom on our very consciousness itself.
