It's because this is the central strategy religious and spiritual leaders use for defrauding people. All leaders that use this technique say the same things. They will say things like in the case of Witness Lee, "get out of the mind and get into the spirit" or within the New Age something like get in tune to your "higher consciousness", ect.
What this really does is work to get people into a heightened emotional state where they're no longer thinking rationally but reacting to everything emotionally. And when you're in this state, you're the most suggestible. God is holy as is his Holy Spirit. He's not only "spiritual", God is also rational (Isaiah 1:18). You don't need to get out of one to get into another. And neither do you need to get into the Holy Spirit because those born of God already have his spirit in them.
