When you ask the question what is spirit? You open the door to many interpretations. I am giving here my understanding (from my reading and exploration) of what spirit is to me.
Spirit is the unseen force within all people and within all worldly things. Spirit is the driving force behind all creation. Spirit is the core of your being that knows everything. It is the energy that propels things into manifestation. It is that voice inside that tells you when things feel right or wrong.
Spiritual Connection
When you are in the quiet of meditation you are bridging the gap between the ego that goes about everyday life events and your true spirit within, the core of your being the energy that supports your life. Letting go of outside distractions allows you to touch your spiritual core.
Have you ever been so involved in a project you love doing that time passed without notice, everything just flowed as it should, and all the pieces fell into place with ease? Your inner spirit was guiding you, because you let go of everything around you and focused on the task. Spirit is that place inside you that gives you the inspiration and love for that task because it is right for you, it is what you were meant to do.
So when you ask what is spirit? I say to you it is your center, the core of your being that knows all you need to know to live a happy fulfilling life. This is not to say that you will never experience ups and downs in your life. Answer the question for yourself, what is spirit? You will touch the core of your being and begin the journey to spiritual awakening then handling life's challenges will be easier.
Spiritual Living
Incorporate into your life those things that you enjoy that make you feel good about yourself and at the same time you are honoring your spirit. Be aware that every living being has the same inner spirit and try to see that in them as well.
When you honor spirit in others and in the world around you, you honor your spirit as well. We are all one with the universal energy that is the one Divine Spirit that created our world and everything in it.
Whether you realize it or not every positive thought and act stems from your spiritual center (that inner voice) and you are planting the seeds of positive change in the consciousness of the entire world. So ask yourself what is spirit? And live your best life now.
Living Words of Wisdom, sharing ideas and methods to achieve a happier, healthier, body, mind, and Spirit.
I’ve always wanted to know "why" am I here what is the purpose of my being on this earth in this body. In the 70s, with the big "new age" movement going on, there were plenty of new resources to helped answer my questions, for me the philosophy made sense. Authors were writing books based on the new age thinking that body, mind, and spirit are connected. That hit home for me, so here I am writing and sharing.
