What Is The Spirit of Life?
Letters To My Son #2
I wrote about what Spirit is and what it means to enter into the spirit here.
Now, let us find out what the Spirit of Life is so that we can enter into it.
The Spirit of something is the source of the thing’s inherent movement.
It is the power which makes the thing exist.
So what is the nature of the power behind all the life you see around?
What is the nature of the power behind your life?
Science has proved that this power is not material.
We now know that all material things are made of a universally distributed substance called ether.
And the particles of this ether are countless and in absolute equilibrium.
So, mathematically, you can say that since the particles are in absolute equilibrium,
the power which began to gather the particles of the ether to form material substances and the whole world, did not come from the particles themselves.
From this knowledge, you can see that this power is not material.
You can also see that this power is able to gather the particles of the ether in certain ways to build up a material universe with all its inhabitants by an orderly sequence of evolution.
And in this sequence, each stage of what is created, lays the foundation for the development of the next stage.
To put it simply,
You can see that this power is able to select and adapt means to achieve aims on a stupendous scale.
And it also distributes energy and life according to a pattern of universal progression.
Now since this power is what gives life and movement to the universe, it is Life in itself.
And since it can select and adapt means to ends, it is also Intelligence.
And Life guided by Intelligence becomes Volition.
Therefore, you can say the nature of the power which is behind all creation, is Life, Intelligence and Volition.
And this power is the source of all Life, including your own life.
This Power is the Spirit of Life.
And it is this Spirit of the whole universe that you must enter into if you wish to reproduce it as a spring of Original Life in yourself.
Now you have seen what the Spirit of Life is.
But how does it work?
