Recognise Spirit

One way to view man is as a Spiritual being, clothed in flesh. Throughout our observed world, we can see energy, recognisable in the collection of electrons on the negative terminal of a battery, to pass to the positive and cause light to emit from your torch, and recognisable in the pot plant that responds to water on a hot, dehydrating day.

Different frequencies seem to give rise to some different qualities. I'm proposing that Spirit has an operable frequency, a capacity that can be activated by intelligence. Our capacity to activate Spirit by intelligence is not innate and can be developed and built so that man can serve the function of Spirit in the world of physical matter.

One outstanding characteristic of being a developed human is our individuality - we have a variety of choices of action open to us as a result of understanding our own behaviour. With time, we can grow the understanding that we have of our own, and then the outside worlds', operations. This individuality, registered in our consciousness, is one possible indicator of an existence that lies beyond the physical body. When we humans replicate (wow, erm, let me try that again), when we are born and grow as people, we grow in a variety of ways so disparate that it would seem that we're responding to an environment much larger than the one that we can just view with our eyes, and hear with our ears. Individuality grows as our intelligence grows, and learning, responding to the environment continues throughout a human lifetime. Our choice is to whether we consciously engage with the accumulation of intelligence, and individuality, or not.

Consciously grow Spirit, or not. Each individuals' choice. We can use the higher rungs of illuminated intelligence to come one step closer to the oneness of real understanding. Wisdom.

Pick up the Tao, the Way, and know that it is consciousness.

Pick up a quote from Einstein: 'the meaning of human life....a single hearted endeavour to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature'.

Visit Teilhard de Chardin: 'The principle is that consciousness is the peculiar specific property of organised states of matter'.

Recognise that our individual human brains make the patterns that we see in nature, in our observed environment.

If meditation helps clarify the perception, or the patterns, indeed it would seem useful to calm down, and slow down the world to the pace of a meditation cushion as often as possible. Yeah.
