  Soul and Spirit - Ludwig Klages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Spirit without soul, on the other hand, can neither be thought of nor imagined, it is acosmic and lies outside consciousness, and is revealed only by its influence (which, in fact, however, is incessant) upon the elements in ourselves, which, under its ray, are frozen and shattered.
Spirit may turn to the element, and the element to spirit: each with a deep indwelling need to imitate the opponent, which leads to processes of indefinite length in a twofold direction.
Spirit seeks to tie down the stream of happening into the unity of ego, and to dictate its "law" to the content of the world, and thus become "reason"—that is, the vehicle of logic which atomizes and conquers one part after the other, and yet can never read a riddle.

When his holy spirit would come over a person it would be in what he called an "Ecstasy" Tertullian describes this "ecstasy" as the same as when the power of God over shadowed Adam when he fell into a deep sleep.
But others imagining themselves possessed of the Holy Spirit and of a prophetic gift, were elated and not a little puffed up; and forgetting the distinction of the Lord, they challenged the mad and insidious and seducing spirit, and were cheated and deceived by him.
He goes on to mention that the leaders of the church after studying the "babbling spirit" and the prophecies that did not come to pass judged it to be the work of a "false and seducing spirit" and they separate themselves from the heretics and withhold communion from them also.
