Just what is spirit?

'Spirit is invisible, but is the essential realness.  It's the light, and the visible is the shadow that it casts.  It's at the bottom of everything.'

Thanks Dave, food for thought here - especially this: 'It's the light, and the visible is the shadow that it casts'.

Hi Everyone,

I've appreciated the thought provoking observations here, what came to my mind in regard to this "spirit analogy" topic is gravity.

Gravity, we live in it without really being overtly aware of it (until perhaps as we age and climb up stairs).

No one can really explain it completely, it has become even more mysterious as one delves into quantum mechanics and string theory...

A quote from NASA Astronomer Dr. Sten Odenwald;

"If you could turn off gravity, it is mathematically predicted that space and time would also vanish!"

Hi Deb,

Glad you enjoyed this incredibly amazing snapshot of craftsmanship, beauty, artistry and mystery provided by the Author of all things!

I know that for some physical things hold little interest or perceived relevance but to me it speaks volumes as to the creative powers of our God. If we cannot fully comprehend the physical wonders of His handiwork (in the present realm/age) how can we even pretend to understand or anticipate the spiritual wonders that await us in the ages to come.

Brings to mind a couple of old favorites of mine;

Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

1Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
 

Peace,

Joe

Hey Joe

I see you as one of the "us" in this statement of Truth ~

1Co 2:10  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

In fact I know you are us, by His Spirit! I am fully persuaded ~  :)

Blessings to you brother
Deb
