---

The philosopher is inwardly a non-traditionalist. Why should he, who seeks or dwells in the fullest mental freedom, condition his mind by the opinions of others or conform his life according to the beliefs of others? Why should he, who knows that the Spirit bears no labels, attach himself to any particular system of thought, values, or rites? Do not therefore expect him to belong to any creed, religion, sect that you can name or to adore its symbols and submit to its clichés.
