10 Days Of Upheaval & Fulfillment
”Spirit being” may sound new age and fanciful but the spirit is not some far out abstract even though it is groovy. It is not a fabrication of the imagination. Forget all those television and movie representations of what the spirit looks like. We are living souls pure and simple. The exact form is changeable. Along with the divine essence that makes up the spirit in humans, there is also water, air, carbon and other elements the spirit consists of. These same kinds of elements are part of the physical body also. The spirit is able to merge with us because it possesses complementary properties. Each person is basically the compound element of spirit, mind and body. This is the personal trinity. Food also has the same properties as our bodies and spirits – so it can merge with each in a healthy way. Food is a child of Universe and Earth just like each of us. This is why food contains physical nutrition for the body and spiritual nutrition for the spirit. What is food for one part of the personal trinity also feeds the other two parts. Food for any living organism comes from its natural habitat. Only the natural contains the elements necessary to sustain the natural. Spirit beings are no exception. This is why our spirits feel renewed and recharged when we are communing with other aspects of the natural world including other people who are behaving naturally. Creation feeds Creation. Food and nature are sources of spiritual nutrition. We can also get spiritual nutrition by merging passions, purposes and gifts; by honoring our shared existence with other aspects of Creation; by giving/receiving encouragement and appreciation; by having conversations; by learning human history and by interacting with cool people. This last part must include both feminine and masculine energies. Spiritual nutrition includes anything wholesome. Spiritual nutrition feeds the spirit, thaws the lock of logic and helps us evolve to using the best of spirit and mind. This also prepares us to use the body to the best of its abilities. Whatever we endeavor, food makes us better. What we feed ourselves matters. Nutrition is the difference.“A man won a fight with one arm. His spirit told him, his mind showed him how and his body delivered.” - - Noah in Gladiator (1992)
