My two cents on what is spirit.. and why relgion per sec may not have much ado with the other as even an agnostic can be sprirtual.. while most of the time the two paths of reglion and spirit walk hand in hand.. but not always so... nor does it need to be.. for example: true buddium..is by nature , not a reglion.. is a way of self exploration and self improvement that has little to nothing to do with a dieity...


Spirit
The Way of the Eternal Soul


The way of the Spirit... as it takes flight...this is the part of ourselves that is bound to Earth only by the needs of the flesh
that currently houses it

What is Spirit ? What comes to mind when we say that ?
The will? The inner self ? The real self ?

All of this and more are correct... the Spirit is the part of us that IS us the real self that the body is just a shell for this time around

Ok so what does that mean for you?

The Way of the Spirit is to unloose the bonds of the flesh and stand as our true self... we do this all the time.. every night when you sleep the soul is set free to seek...to learn...to grow.. its why Dreams can be so enlightening

The way of Meditation is yet another were we seek to let the spirit move above and beyond the earthly coil

But why do we do this?

Because the spirit within is what moves all the rest... its true nature is what moves us to do anything.. be it action in life or in the circle...its the spirit that makes Magick real...it is Spirit that can stand with the Great Mother and seek wisdom...it is Spirit that returns to Earth in reincarnation when we return to Earth after riding the comet of rebirth we know a great deal more than when we were here before... we have talked to others.... our teachers not of the flesh..but than knowledge is suppressed as we come back as child.. and must relearn to get in touch with that inner self

This is what training of the mind is all about... an attempt to reconnect with the Spiritual self

The Way of the Spiritual warrior.. the War is always with the self to allow right action to flow thur us and become one with everything

The ways of most all teachers from history past to now.. from Buddha to Plato... from Egypt ...to Asia... all have taught this way of freeing the self to be the self thur Spiritual liberation

When we stand at circles center...this is the ultimate realm of Spirit..as this is where we become again the Spiritual being we started as

May you Union with your higher self be Blessed
