Superstition or supernatural?


Since the majority of our society is void of any understanding of their spirit being residing within, most spiritual topics are labeled as mysticism or superstitious or magical. I will agree that some spiritual aspects are such, but the realm we are seeking is not. It is the realm of Truth. It is not evasive or elusive. It is the foundation for all that is and all that every will be.

"For God is Spirit, those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:24
"Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. " 2 Corinthians 3:17

This foundation is of the utmost importance. We must come to an understanding that we were created  human as: Spirit, soul, and body.
If we neglect this understanding, we neglect 1/3 of our constitution, the most important 1/3 of our being!!!
Without proper understanding of the spirit being we have developed into  a "sensual" society driven by the 5 senses: taste, touch, see, hear or smell. 
The mind or intellect is the primary driving force. It must SEE to Believe. It has an insatiable appetite and desire to achieve and become and divide and conquer. It is "human nature." It is "self-preservation." It is "first and foremost." It is "me, me, me."
 
With awakening comes the awareness that it is not just "me, me, me." Everything we do affects someone else. Every word we speak either blesses or curses someone. We are all connected even at the level of atoms and particles. Quantum physics has proven this intricate intertwining of this physical world. We are all beings of light. Everything was formed from light and God's spoken word. 
"...The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light." (Genesis 1:2, 3 AMP)

If we want to awaken, if we want to experience heaven on earth. It starts with a shift from Self-ish to Self-less. From "me" to "you." From mind to spirit. 

"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling." Ephesians 4:4

As we come to understand the spirit within, we must understand how to nourish it. Just as the saying goes for the body, "you are what you eat." The spirit goes by,"you are who you feed." Everything we put into our eyes and our ears is affecting our spirit. Every thought that crosses our mind, every word we speak from our mouths is molding and shaping our spirit being. 

There is a Cherokee Indian Adage to describe the struggle that occurs within the spirit being: This grandfather describes it as a battle.

My son, there is a battle between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’

The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’
