When we first get an inkling that there’s another realm – the realm of Spirit – we can’t help but get rather curious about how it could impact our life.
Our thoughts naturally go to “spirits”, demons and things that go bump in the night. But we be wrong!! It’s Spirit (capital S), Infinitude, Eternality — the realm of God. Don’t run away yet – wait till you hear what’s really going on.
We get to choose which to believe: (a) matter is overwhelmingly real, solid, formidable, subject to birth, death and all the ills in between or (b) matter is pure illusion.
When we decide that we really want to “get” the claims of enlightenment (born out by such reputed scientists as Einstein himself) that matter doesn’t of its own accord have a leg to stand on, we find there exists a ‘substance’ (called Spirit), having precious little in common with matter.
The only fine point that we find so difficult to wrap our matter-based, matter-laden brains around is “how in the world is it possible that infinite, perfect, eternal Spirit is right here where matter seems to be?”
When we do start to realize this unspeakable, glorious truth, a whole new world opens up for us. All we have to do now is to realize we’ve just got the first inkling: there’s infinitely more waiting to unfold!
