Why do we associate spirituality with the above.
Even when we look inward for peace there is the idea of lift for the soul.

The body dies.
The mind goes on.

They both know suffering.

The body scars.
The mind learns.

What the body builds, time takes away.
What the mind creates carries on in others.

Neither is necessarily eternal.

This why the spirit exists. It always has, always will, and forever moves the present.

The spirit moves the body and inspires the mind, but the opposite is never true. Why else would the body strive to live. Why else would the mind thirst for knowledge.

There must be something that exists beyond. Something everlasting. An existence more than is capable in physical life.
Here is where many stop.
It is here where some limit the spirit to the mind.

How simple it is to make the spirit “teachable”
How easy thoughts flow when the mind’s relativity of the haves can explain away the nots.
But the spirit is not teachable, only the mind. And physical blessing enable clarity of thoughts.
The mind is more than thoughts, it is creative. And because of this, it knows inspiration.

Does the spirit inspire? It certainly instills.
Does the spirit teach? It moves when caused to stumble.

Living in the spirit is eternal. This is not argued.
Living in the spirit represents something better.

Is life owed to spirit?

In good spirits and of bad spirits? No! It is low spirited.
And back again, the spirit provides lift.

Death and the earth, ground echo throughout the human mind.
Perceiving this way, one might say that the spirit’s purpose is to leave the earth. But this is merely the spirit’s relation with the body.
With the mind, the spirit brings peace, inspiration, and love.

Hard to imaging that the spirit is more than love. Then again, we can know love, but not fully the spirit. Eternal love, well, is that not spiritual love.

Time to ride the wire, fly b-eye why're…
