I’m not sure if I have publicized yet my feelings about the nature of spirit. I realized in my post concerning reality that I left a bomb in explained. I made the claim that energy is spirit. I stand by that claim. Here is how I explain it.
I believe that we are all eternal, spiritual creatures; that we are confined to our physical existence for a time and that we will return after our time here to our purely spiritual existence. I make this claim based on my understanding of the divine personality we call God through his avatar Jesus and what is recorded about his live. For convenience sake we will refer to the divine as masculine. Now, my understanding of God is that he is the sculptor of all physical things. If this is true then all of our reality belongs to him. I also believe that God, like other artists, expresses himself in his creation and spiritually permeates are reality. If he spiritually permeates all things, then God is quite literally in everything. Since I believe that God is greater than the sum of his creation I will refer to the part that permeates us as spirit.
Now if spirit permutes all matter then what is spirit? What is the basic building block of everything in our existence? Energy. Energy is both a wave and a particle, unique in that quality, and yet it is found at the base of everything you can and can not imagine. What holds molecules together? Energy. What is the power by which things operate? Energy. What can not be destroyed? Energy. I am energy, you are energy, it is energy that lights the LEDs on your screen and it is energy that delivers the light to your eyes. It is energy that your brain uses to interpret these words and it is energy that controls your mood concerning what you are reading.
If energy is the basic unit of physical existence then it is, at the very least, extremely closely related to spirit.
