Spiritual ni-hility and anxiety torture people, while by means of blood rushing, body movement enables the impulse of self-preservation of the subject to be briefly released, real survival will to be slightly expressed, and spiritual crea-tivity and autonomy to be momentarily pleased, satisfies the survival needs of spirit as integrity, remits the contest between spiritual survival needs and social machine’s unification pressure. However, Japers also pointed out that man is spirit, spiritual redemption can be carried out only by the efforts of spirit itself. Therefore, in order to return to real survival, body movement has no connotation of exceeding. Body movement is only a trick used by spirit it-self, which kills the symptom but not the disease.
