Finding the Spirit

 Just the opposite of mystics who say that sensory things are a veil, it is the nonmaterial abstract definitions that are the veil over the real Spirit Within, which activates life to evolve from within all the way to Godhood, while evolution shapes life from without.  This transvalues the veil.  

 

Deep beneath (not beyond) the general physical, psychological, emotional life of man, at the zenith of the mind is the Soul, which is the traditional, desire-free destination of traditional religion. Yet deeper still at the zenith of the Soul is the Spirit, or the Will To Godhood. When the Spirit is not known, or blocked, this blocks our chances at evolving to Godhood, because it is the Spirit that activates life to evolve to Godhood.

We have to be more like physicians of the Spirit than theologians and philosophers, in making the Spirit open and accessible to mankind. Why? The standard abstractions of the theologians and philosophers deny the physicality or supermateriality of the Spirit within the body, which is a real activating force. They have concentrated instead on nonmaterial abstractions while blocking the real Spirit in favor of the desire-free blissful condition of the Soul.

Looking for meaning only in the abstract is a problem in theology and philosophy. Finding meaning, as Nietzsche said, is to “become good neighbors to the closest things.” I would say become neighbor to human nature, to our biological drives and instincts. Here the Spirit can be found at the Zenith of the Instincts as the Will To Godhood activating life and evolution from within, while evolution shapes life from without.

We can use the mind and Soul to see or intuit the Spirit, but we can also ask the Spirit Itself to help enlighten us.
