Hi Sigismund,
I guess the truth that psychoanalysis gives us is just too harsh for any notion of spirituality. It basically kills the dignity of any behaviour.
I'm not sure that the things we learn in psychoanalysis can really help us. I think it only made the pain bigger.
I also think Buddhism has nice insights into how to live a decent and pain-free life. But one thing I still can't fit in my mind is the notion of abandoning wishes. Or maybe I'm just too young to think of that :)
To me helping people is maybe the only true spiritual path one might follow. I hope I find some comfort when I'm able to do that.
Ralph
