Transcending religion
We are made up of three distinct and separate but intra-dependent parts.
The body… which is made up of cells, tissue, and organs…
it metabolizes fuel and produces energy.
The soul… is our mind, it senses the physical world around us…
it learns from what it sees, hears, feels, tastes and smells…
it can feel an emotional response to what it senses….
And our spirit… which senses the metaphysical.
Our spirit is the breath of the Creator within us.
It is the third eye, the sixth sense, the tiny spark of divinity within us.
It is eternal, as is the Creator, because it comes from Him.
All religions and belief systems attempt to explain what the spirit knows.
We are eternal beings.
We will one day return to our Creator.
Some believe we make many trips to the physical world before we return to our Maker.
Some believe we enter paradise or Valhalla or Nirvana once we become perfected by good deeds and right attitudes.
Some believe we must be cleansed of sin and forgiven to reach the Creator.
Others believe we must do many good works to reach heaven.
But all belief systems recognize the spirit of man as truly being there.
It is often confused with the soul..
it is often denied, along with the existence of the soul, by science.
It cannot be measured by science…
It cannot be proved by science…
But it’s presence is felt by honest folk when they see a newborn babe.
Or watch their loved one die…
experience terror or complete joy…
or unspeakable tragedy…
war…
injustice…
it is our spirits that cries for the deep unknown..
unexplainable..
unfathomable…
mystery.
Our spirit can be grieved..it can be humbled… it can be joyful.
These are not simple emotions like that of the soul..the mind.
These are the deep groaning of the human spirit that compel it
to move towards perfection.
It is my desire to become as much like the divine as my spirit can possibly attain.
This is true spirituality.
