Gods die with men who have conceived them. But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.
—D. H. Lawrence, The Plumed Serpent
In ancient times the world of spirits was everywhere acknowledged because it was a matter of direct experience and open to all but the most insensitive. The world of spirits was as familiar to primitive man as is the dream world is to modern man. The spirit world became the later “spiritual” world after undue emphasis on mans’ mental development had obliterated the astral world in which he originally had moved with as much ease as in the mundane world.
—Kenneth Grant, Nightside of Eden

This one's really eye-opening - she talks about self-preservation here, and cover emotions.
"There is no lower vibration on this planet than powerlessness"
"Anger is an emotion that covers fear and hurt because fear and hurt are powerless states"

I'm not into this kind of spirituality, but I found this touching.
"One of the biggest problems with religion is that people stubbornly, insistently reduce God to their own size; they imagine that God loves the same people they love, and that God hates the people they hate. This is not just insidious theology; it’s actually idolatry, because people are just worshiping a blown-up version of themselves. So let me say it simply: God’s love transcends all of that.
When your parents reject you, God loves you; when your friends or classmates make fun of you, God loves you; when your priest, minister, imam, or rabbi tells you that you are an abomination, God loves you; when politicians cater to people’s basest prejudices, God loves you. No matter how many times and in how many ways people make you feel less than human, God knows otherwise, and God loves you. When you feel frightened, or abandoned, or humiliated, I hope the unshakeable conviction that God loves you can help hold you and enable you to persevere."

I object to the use of the term "spirit" to define anything meaningful (I think there are better words that aren't so loaded, vague, and immaterial), but I recommend the reading of Lucretius's On the Nature of Things.
