PNEUMATISM (Aquarius)
[3] The tendency just described, the philosophy of feeling, is often called mysticism. The error in a mystical outlook based upon mere feeling is that it wants to experience directly what it ought to gain through knowledge; that it wants to raise feeling, which is individual, into a universal principle.

[4] Feeling is a purely individual affair; it is the relation of the external world to our self as subject, in so far as this relation finds expression in a merely subjective experience.
