"...the further away from the Divine Source an emanation is, the more inferior it is. Eventually it crystallizes into matter, which is at the farthest pole from spirit, and hence is evil."

Intriguing. I've always had a bit of a problem with the "spirit good/flesh bad" concept -- I think it's ultimately self-defeating, since we cannot get away from the flesh. However, there is something seductive about it. I think that the things that my mind are interested in are almost certainly more important than the things that my body are interested in. I'm not sure about any "divine spark" though.
