I don't reject spiritualism at all, I just reject ideas that use the spiritual to justify manipulation of the material. I think the spiritual and material are linked. One affects the other so to speak so if you act a slave in the material, you've enslaved yourself spiritually also.

I reject notions where people use a spiritual framework that none of us truly understand to justify taking actions that are not beneficial to one in the material but beneficial to others and justify it because the spiritual will be better in a manner you can't perceive.

I will give you an example. A man with a gun comes to your house and points it at you. He says give me all your stuff or I'll kill you. You have 1 hour to comply. You ask the internet for advice. Someone on the internet says you should give him what he asks for because material possessions don't matter, all that matters is the spiritual and if you try to defend yourself you could cause harm to the person but you should love your enemies because if you harm the guy, you could harm your spirit. Another guy says take your gun and defend your property by killing the guy. Assuming there's no other risks involved and you will kill the guy and successfully defend your property that to me is the correct choice. Your spirit will be better off for you taking this route also. The first choice is manipulation. It's something the guy who pointed the gun at you would tell you so he faces no challenge in the material world himself. Any ideas that are similar to the first choice are bad ideas that I reject. All good ideas for your spirit will benefit you in the material as well.
