What is Spirit?
=The word "spirit", from the Latin spiritus, refers to "breath", which was taken from the Greek “pneuma”.
Spirit may be thought of as Essential Energy -- present everywhere, eternal, un-changeable. Let us think of Energy also as Light and also as Love, as in the Light of Love. Light is an attribute of Spirit. Love is an attribute of Spirit. This analogy may not be perfect but we may find it helpful and we need all the help we can get in order to talk about something that is not readily visible nor readily discernable by the senses of our bodies.
Energy is simply Energy, Spirit is simply Spirit, it is as simple as that. Neither positive nor negative, it simply is. The ‘Law of Conservation of Energy’ implies that Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is eternal and unchangeable, having always been, always will be. Its form may change, but the Energy remains the un-changed. By considering Energy as Light, it may be easier to see how Light, how Spirit, expresses Itself.
Spirit is Source. Spirit shares It’s Light because that is how It expresses Itself.
Spirit knows only Truth, being only Truth. It is from Truth that Mind receives It’s inspiration.
Spirit inspires. The Mind focuses this inspiration to manifest in the physical world.
