“The spiritual mind (reiseishin) is the highest and most excellent of all human mental capacities, unique to humanity. Inspiration or spiritual wisdom all emerge from this mind. Every profound and lofty thought has its source in the spiritual mind.” — Nakamura Tempu

霊性心は、われわれ人類の精神のみに特有された極めて優秀性を有する最高級のものである。普通人には容易に発現し得ないといわれる、かの霊感とか霊智とかいうような特殊のものは、いずれもこの心から発露するものなので、いわゆる神秘的な偉大な思索や、崇高な思想というようなものは、一切この心を本源として形成されるものなのである。
