The Spirit - Part II

In our past issue, we left our few readers with a simple, although profound, question: What exactly is our spirit?

Distancing from the materialistic notions that consider the spirit as something almost physical, it would be a good idea to start with this outstanding phrase:

"Each spirit emerged from the Divinity as a pure thought. That is why the spirits are the perfect work of the Creator."

When medidated upon, these few words, taken from one of the teachings of The Third Testament, shed more light than all prior attempts to explain what the spirit really is.

Just think about this: Before there even existed material time or space there was God... and God is spirit. He didn't start to be an spirit AFTER the Creation (He was the One that created it, remember?), He always has been, and always will be, a spirit.

So, to equate God with an energy is somewhat absurd, since energy is a creation, it was created just the same as material time... and space.

In other words, the Spirit of God is beyond any material time, space... or energy.

And since our spirit is in the likeness and image of God, it is only natural to reach the conclusion that our spirit, likewise, is also beyond material time, space and energy.

After all, a pure thought is not an artifact nor an object. It is, simply put, an abstraction, a concept.

The state of being not yet active or evident, is understood to be a latency or latent state.

So, when spiritual Creation started, it was preceded by its notion, which was prior to that, latent in God's divine mind. Thus, our spirit too was a notion in latency until life, having love as its driving force, emerged.

Let's see:

"Do not be confused if I say that even before you existed, I already loved you."

"Love is the beginning and the end in the destiny of everything created by the Father."

"There was the Divine Spirit filled with love, even though He was the only One who existed."

"So that God could name Himself Father, He created from His bosom spirits, creatures similar to Him in His divine attributes; this was your beginning; this is how you surged to the spiritual life."

"Your spirit possesses eternal life which was transmitted by the Divine Spirit"

"Your spirit has emerged from Me and he must return to Me, pure and perfect."

After taking all this into consideration, we can say that our spirit is similar to our God's Spirit.

So there you have it: Your spirit, my spirit, our spirit is much more than an energy or force... it is a pure thought that emerged from God.
