fanaticism

Fanaticism is misplaced enthusiasm, over zealous, no spiritual self control. Tillich: "fanaticism is the attempt to repress elements of one's own being for the sake of others. If the fanatic encounters these elements in somebody else, he fights against them passionately, because they endanger the success of his own repression.

To be a fanatic is to emulate what one thinks as to those who actually have the true power. It is going too far because the spirit has not been trusted enough to know the limit and so it becomes false praise, false enthusiasm, superstition and spiritual pride.
[96, 145]
