ABSTRACT

I’m going nowhere. I’m just traveling. I’m on a pilgrimage,” says Siddharta to Govinda (Hesse 1960: 87). Elsewhere in this book, I connected the concept of spirituality to the idea of a

permanent displacement (see Threshold 4, footnote 10). In other words, spirituality seems to open a space that can never be occupied because it is, ‘by definition,’ ec-static, not static, un-stable, enduringly moving.1
