Reflection on today's presentations (November 30, 2010)

I have heard it said that when you die your spirit floats above your body and looks down at a shell of a man or woman. Well, what if I were to take a step back while still in my body and take a look at my spirit? It seems that we can do the exact opposite when we are alive. To step out of ourselves and look at what we have done to these spirits. Are they thriving? Are they speaking to other spirits? Are they talking to the spirit right next to them? Are they truly alive or just waiting to be set free from this inactive shell? Witnessing these people speak about what they care about revealed to me that each one of them had a seed of love for something radiating through their spirits. Their body was vocal about it and very drawn to the reality of it. As though their spirit already knew what they wanted to say before they even said it. It was just waiting for them to express it. Now after expressing it and making it known to like spirits, I believe that they are more apt to live it. It was like a self proclamation of their future being working in accordance to the direction of the spirit that is moving them. The directions to life are already within each one of us. Unfortunately, the crafty serpent (i.e., the devil) has created distractions for all the bodies of the world to be self consumed with lifeless technology instead of proclaiming to like spirits their intentions to help one another commune, propagate, and revitalize fellow shelled spirits of the world around them. I am very impressed with the potential that I have seen tonight. To be privileged with the task of leading these hungry spirits to educational environments where tangibility is a reality is an effective way to help the spirit entice the body to move according to what it is meant for from the beginning. I believe that what we are meant to do is exactly what the Bible says which is to be stewards of the garden. The dictionary defines steward as a person who manages another's property. We are spirits of God that have been instructed to manage his garden. It's unfortunate that we have to teach these bodies what our spirits already know, but it is a pleasure to see it in action. Like a seedling sprouting and reaching for the light, so we are learning and reaching for God for understanding through his creations (e.g., nature).
