☑️ The Spirit

Close your mouth & without using any words or sounds, say “Spirit”. Who said that? Was it you? But with what voice? How did you even hear that voice? With what ears? Even better! What about when your sleeping & you enter the REM stage of sleep where you typically have lucid dreams (or what I call entering the Astro World :P)? If your sleeping, how do you see your dreams? How do you hear the environment & surroundings of the dream? Have you dreamed of something delicious? or even gotten hurt? Didn’t you believe your dream was real? What senses are you experiencing all of this with if you’re safely sleeping in bed (I hope). Have you ever thought to think about that logically? Some call it energy, essence, life, vitality, or vibe. Well, the majority of the population, including myself, like to call ‘The Spirit’. People call it a various amount of different names they share the same or very similar meaning.

the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul.

“we seek a harmony between body and spirit”

(source: Thesaurus.com – http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/spirit)

There are so many names, ideas, & perceptions that people use to refer to this & I’m not saying my views & opinion on this is fact or false. I’m simply asking some intelligent questions to stimulate your thinking, give you the textbook definition & source, & following up with what I perceive.

At all times I want you to follow this motto:

“Do not believe or disbelieve, simply have your own experiences” -Spirit Science (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSpiritScience).

Mind, Body, & Soul (The Spirit) is the trinity of life. Its the major components of what makes us who & what we are as we know it. Society only focuses on the tangible things which would be your Mind & Body, along with everything it perceives. Ever just take a moment & think, if you were to control someone to do what you want them to, wouldn’t you have to alter their perception of their mind, body, &/or their soul. Depending on what your goal is. Now, look at society, which one of the three does manipulators prosper the most by controlling? It would be the Spirit. With control of one’s spirit, you control their belief, their morales, & their overall perception of life. Control over one’s spirit will give you easy control over their thoughts, which dictate their actions. You’ll also notice that the tactics in which you go about succeeding with this, are also widely known. But that’s a different conversation. lol! I say that to say this, the spirit is the most overlooked, under thought, underestimated, & misunderstood thing that is naturally apart of us. The spirit is just as much a part of you as the reflection you see in the mirror.

I believe the spirit is I, & I am the spirit. I don’t believe that who or what I am, is the body. The body is simply the vessel. Many will agree with me. But, many don’t know the extent to that. Some people will say they believe this, but fear death or acknowledge it as the end of life. In my opinion, most people who are like that, are people who believe spirituality but aren’t quite living it. The spirit is life, the spirit is eternal, the spirit can never be destroyed. The body can die. But for me, the spirit lives forever. So with that thought, what is ‘death’? We don’t die, we simply transcend. To where? Well, everyone has their own belief, but it’s up to you to seek that understanding. An understanding that sits well with you. Until you seek the knowledge of what the spirit means to you & experience it on your own, you will run into many mistakes in life. You will always be at risk for being a controlled pawn by someone else. Or even worse, a prisoner to yourself.

Technology, along with a range of other things we experience in the day-to-day life, keep us distracted & numb to feeling our spirit. It also reduces your spirit’s senses & how it’s connected to the world outside of us. Here are some examples of when your spirit is in full effect:

• Have you ever met somebody & just got a bad feeling about them? Maybe you felt weak, light-headed, instant agitation, nauseous, or a gut feeling. Whatever it is, that’s your spirit giving you a sign. Or just a bad vibe. What about when you feel an immediate attraction, like someone is trusting, or you feel secure around that person. Most attribute that to god, but we can all agree that it was a sign from a higher power. Most people are so numb to their spirit, they can choose to ignore that sensation or they misinterpret the feeling. The details of the issues will & can vary. Remember, good & evil wears many masks. We can’t use any of our 5 primary senses (The human body has more than 20+) to experience this. Only the spirit does.

• What about Judgement? What do you use to weigh your decisions? Judgement is not simply thoughts & logic. Judgement is also balancing logical decisions based on feelings &/or intuition. Either way, you spin it, it’s your spirit.

• Your morals are like the DNA of your spirit. Staying true to yourself is key. Anything against that will result in self-destruction. No one person has the same in-depth morals no matter how similar it may seem on the surface. The zoomed out view of a DNA strand all look the same, but even twins have different coding. Your ability to judge a decision based on whats right or wrong for you is your spirits code of morals. Your morals make you who you are. In today’s society, you are taught what your morals should or shouldn’t be. Whether its religion, race, politics, finances or family upbringing, something is putting you in a place where you have to live according to a standard code of morals. For some, it may fit well with them to comply but for others, it may not. Either way, that sensation you get that tells you if its right or wrong? Your spirit.

• Love. Yes, you can express love, vocalize love, & think love. But what part of you feels it? You could be manipulated to believe a false sense of love, but even still, where does that feeling come from. You feel it in your spirit.

Many religions or people will teach that spirit & god go hand-&-hand, & they honestly do. But the spirit is typically ONLY associated with God. Some even consider spirits are a sort of entity or ghost & you must die to become one. That is the biggest misconception. Spirit is everything you do, everything you think, & every part of who you are. You don’t need to die to become a spirit, you already are one. You are the spirit. Your body is the vessel. You feel, you translate it with emotions & then you act from there.

| Spirit -> Mind -> Body |

Although you may act without thinking, no living thing can act without feeling. Because to feel, is to LIVE.

Tell me what you think of my perception! Do you feel where I’m coming from? Do you see it partially or completely different? Let me know what you feel ’The Spirit’ is to you in the comment section below. Namaste!

**Reminder**

Everyone has their own belief on what spirit is & no one person is right or wrong. It’s your belief. In the case that you may differ with my views, I ask just understand where I’m coming from, try to experience it, & see what works for you. “Do not believe or disbelieve, simply have your own experiences”.

**Side-Note**

Whether you agree with my logic or disagree, just try to comprehend where I’m coming from because this is the foundation of a lot of my future posts. So to understand this (not believing) will help you understand many of my future works.
