Living in Spirit

When we think we are only a body, we are in denial of our true source of aliveness. When we think we are only a soul, we forget to be human. We are in this body for a purpose, so that we can further actualize and move toward soul. Soul is not about being a goody-goody, or not making mistakes or never hurting - it's about being alive. There is nowhere to hide from life. We can become numb or deny it, but that only leaves us listless and depressed and makes life feel meaningless. Why not go with the flow and embrace our spirit nature.

The question whether soul and body are identical, therefore, is as superfluous as to ask whether wax and the shape imprinted on it are identical, or, in general whether the material of a thing is identical with the thing of which it is the material. "Is" and "one" have various meanings, but in their most legitimate meaning they connote the fully actual character of a thing. ~ Aristotle
