Definition of the SPIRIT or Soul Inside Man
 
For this discussion, I'd like to presume that there is a SPIRIT inside each of us and inside all plants and animals. It's totally possible that there is NOTHING inside of us but consciousness until we die. I'd like to pose the following questions to the group:

1. Who created the spirit inside of us?
2. What is it made of?
3. Is it a mirror image of we look like in the physical world?
4. Are all spirits adults or do they grow in direct proportion to our body growth?
5. Are spirits male for males and female for females?
6. What is the connection between our minds,thoughts and our spirit?
7. Does the spirit "record" all of our sensorial experiences in life?
8. What kind of spirit is inside a mentality disabled person?
9. What language do spirits communicate in?
10. Can spirits be at any place at any time just like our thoughts can?
11. How old is your spirit? As old as your physical body or older?
12. Where does the spirit go after the body dies?
13. What measures the intelligence of a spirit?
14. Are all spirits are the same development level?
15. Does being evil or being good affect growth and change in our spirit?
16. How does the spirit differ from a soul?
17. Do auras really exist and are they a component of or the spirits inside of us?
18. Is possible to have a female spirit inside a male body and vice-versa?
19. Do similar spirits "connect" better with each other? (soul mates?)
20. Do spirits have feelings after departing mortality?
21. Can a spirit be full of light while others are full of darkness?
22. Can spirits communicate with the living?
23. Where is the world where spirits go after departing this life?
24. When does the spirit enter the body?
25. Do midgets have normal size spirits?
26. If you're afro-American or Caucasian, what color is your spirit?
27. Where was your spirit before you were born?
28. The War In Heaven: was your spirit there when it happened, IF it really happened?
29. Can spirits "enter" your body and overtake your mind?
30. Where do evil spirits come from? Why are they here?

I realize these are a lot of questions but someday, when we die, the reality of the spirit "might" be something we will all have to deal with. Do you think you come come up with some answers for 1-30?

The questions don't matter.
The answers don't matter.
The truth is in your heart.
Only you can find it.

Good and Evil are only defined by YOU. No one else can tell you what is good or evil.

16. How does the spirit differ from a soul?
Not really sure, but I think St Andrew or St Joeseph mentions it in the bible yes? That may be where the answer lies.

No

30. Where do evil spirits come from? Why are they here?
They are just like evil people, its a choice.

I order to establish that we actually exist, after centuries of pondering on the subject by the world greatest philosophers... René Descartes finally came up with the famous, Cogito ergo sum.. or Je pense, donc je suis; or I think, therefore I am... and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that we exist...

And that was just to prove that we exist... so... I certainly wish you the best with your quest to find an answer to your 30 questions... :)

Our spirit includes our minds and thoughts.

I don't know what an aura is.

18. Is possible to have a female spirit inside a male body and vice-versa?
I suppose. But like I said a spirit does not have genitals, so it doesn't properly have a sex.

I guess so.

20. Do spirits have feelings after departing mortality?
Spirits don't *exist* after "departing mortality."

Depends on whether the spirit lives in a cave or in the Sahara Desert.

Spirits don't have physical size.

Invisible.

27. Where was your spirit before you were born?
It didn't exist, or it wasn't "your" spirit.

28. The War In Heaven: was your spirit there when it happened, IF it really happened?
There have been a lot of wars here in heaven. Which do you mean?

29. Can spirits "enter" your body and overtake your mind?
Definitely. That is what TV advertisements do.

Because no one can be told what it is you have to see it for yourself.

Does that sound cryptic? It's not. Explaining consciousness, is like explaining SR, eventually you have to see it for yourself, until then it's just words, just a belief, just a difference of opinion. Information is informative, but without taking that information and doing something with it, it remains as information, words, theory, beliefs.

Enjoy!

DaveTyler 05-27-2007 08:00 AM

Max you cant show ************, you cant show them the path, cause then you will be showing them YOUR path, my path to enlightenment is different from yours, vica versa. There is no "one path".
