The Spirit of Mankind

The true spirit of mankind lies deep within the confines of the mind. In order to access the inner spirit, one must first shut out the endless chatter that dominates the mind. This of course is the first step required in order to "get in touch with the spirit."

Mental Chatter

Most third dimensional minds run at light speed evaluating thousands of thoughts in a matter of minutes. The majority of these thoughts are: regrets from the past, and worries about the future. As these thoughts dominate the mind the spirit seems to take a back seat to the useless chatter of the mind.

Meditation is an excellent way to get in touch with the true inner self or the spirit. As these useless thoughts are controlled the true spirit slowly emerges out of the confines of the darkness. But, sometimes this spirit is never heard because the ego and worries about self preservation usually controls the mind.

The Spirit Voice

Once the ability to reprogram the mind (and these useless thoughts) is accomplished, the true inner voice can be heard in all of its glory. This is the God voice which lives inside us all.

Some people refer to this voice of reason as instinct or hind sight. I like to believe these thoughts to be our spirit of the soul. These pure thoughts are what guides us through our lives, and all of our future endeavors. Opening up this line of communication requires patience, and also a lot of consistency.

Healing the Spirit

Just as anyone would clean and protect the body, the mind and soul also needs the same protection, and cleaning. Your thoughts are what rules and dominates your decisions that you make in life. So, a healthy mental perception is not only important to yourself, but also to your family and friends.

This "spirit" is what guides you not only in this incarnation, but throughout eternity. The spirit or the soul is on a never-ending path of enlightenment. Each lifetime takes you closer and closer to being what your higher self desires.

But, without negativity in each lifetime our experiences seem to be shallow and without meaning. This is where the soul and spirit learns to thrive, as it goes from one existence to the next in its quest for ascension.

Letting Go

Learning to let go of the past, and the ability to not fear the future is an excellent way to open up the pathway to the soul. Living in the now (or the moment) is the best way to calm destructive emotions which dominate the mind.

Wanting to hear the spirit is the first step in spirituality. Once the heart is opened the soul begins to bloom like a beautiful flower after a cool spring shower. The mind is now a powerful tool just waiting to be used. Once you've exercised this powerful muscle, the options are truly endless.
