Foreword : "Spirituphile"is a bastard association of the noble word "spiritus" (spirit) and of the soft... Greek word "philos" (to love). Is it a neologism for a new definition of an attitude and feeling as old as the world?..... Note that spirituphiliais not spiritualism, let alone necrophilia, or worse, of necrophagy. Consequently, is spirituphile simply the one who loves a soul... (Example: I love the soul of Norma Jean, as I also love the soul of my late father, my grandparents' souls. Etc...)

A better term would be "amoranimus" De amore aimer et d'animus âme. Here is what the AI says:"Passionate about a person’s soul": This term denotes a deep affection or special interest in the spiritual or inner side of a person." So we qualify a spirituphile of amoranimus.

Far be it from me to pretend to be the only one who feels love for the soul of Marilyn Monroe. Far be it from me, the baseness of introducing myself first spirituphile. Away from me these perfidies, because, precedes me the history of the world and will follow me this one_ In short! Since I'm not breaking anything; I probably won't be a part of it. In short, the originality that I possess lies only in the fact that to call this archaic phenomenon, spirituphilia . ?

Do you want examples of spirituphilia ?

Since it cannot be exhaustive, here is a brief, even rudimentary list, of its members:

The very first conscious being of humanity. This one became spirituphile , when he was confronted with the death of a loved one, and discovered intuitively through this ordeal the existence of an "elsewhere".

All those who subsequently experienced a similar experience. Exceptionally, through my traditional beliefs, the mother of Jesus Christ was only one of them for three days.

All those who will live after us.... (!)...the same experience.

At the same time, over the past few millennia, thanks to legends and to history, and closer thanks to the media and the technology, secret or frank admirers of artistic characters, political, religious or other changes the profile of the spirituphile. This at the precise moment of the heroes' death or some time after....

Finally, it should be noted that spirituphilia art is not a "plastic" movement as well as cubism, fauvism, impressionism, art deco, and is not sprirtual art either. No! Spirituphilia art is a sign of faith and a way of loving.

A)_Faith distinguished by the certainty of a post-mortem life; there, where the soul is protected by the absolute being against our sickness.

B)_Love, (different from the one we know between the living), illustrated by the happiness of to communicate, from within, with these wonderful beings. In short, the culture of loving without expecting anything.

C)_These two elements reaching their paroxysms in their osmosis when they are expressed.

In conclusion, all paintings, sculptures, poems, symphonies, popular songs, operas, films, plays, drawings, odes, biographies, inspired novels, etc.... created in homage or for the love of a soul are works spirituphiles.
