What is the essence of life? It must be the spirit because without our spirit we become a corpse. The spiritual aspect of our existence is in reality the most important and powerful part of our existence yet it is the part the majority of humans give the least attention to. Even when we think we are in most cases we are actually fulfilling an ego based identity and a worldly idea of what spirituality is. I know this because I have done this and watched it being done for 15 years. There is so much to it our spiritual existence that is right in front of us but we do not recognize it because we are so used to seeing things with our eyes and defining them with our brain that we miss the true essence of everything we view and experience. Our mind is a very valuable tool in living this life but it is not the ultimate level of life to aspire to nor is it capable of defining many experiences and situations. Just think about a time where you had an experience and felt emotions that you could not put into words. I can remember a time when I was on a beach looking at a sunset that was so incredible it would be impossible for me to explain it to you. Witnessing the birth of my children is another example of an experience you cannot put into word. So much of life is experienced outside logic and the five senses yet so many of us rely on exactly that, exclusively, to choose how we intend to live life.
Let us all begin to notice the moments of life in a new way. Let’s not label and explain our experience but simply experience it and feel it to the fullest. Then we may begin to live life from a higher place within ourselves.
