CELEBRATING THE LIVING SPIRIT!

The idea of Living Spirit usually implies that only those things we associate with Spirit, or having a spirit, is alive. Yet metaphysicians and quantum scientists have shown us that even that which appears lifeless, like a rock, a table, or an atom, are not actually “dead” matter at all. Science has looked into the fa reaches of space and the inner workings of sub-atomic particles and seen consciousness looking back.

Everything is ALIVE with Spirit, as Spirit, and this Reality is most often depicted in art, science, religion, and spirituality as LIGHT. From the photons of light at the quantum level to the halo of light seen in auras and religious icons, LIGHT is the visible presence of the intangible essence of Spirit.

Light makes Spirit visible while Love makes Spirit palpable. We feel the presence of the Divine when we experience and express love. LOVE is most present when we practice unconditional, pure, Agape’ Love – the love that sees through appearances, beyond differences, and past the human condition to the Living Spirit in each and every person. This is the LOVE that is the very impulse of Life Itself, which flows through creation as the heartbeat of the Universe.

How fitting, then, in this Season of Light and Love, that we celebrate the Living Spirit through so many different spiritual traditions. Every tradition adds a layer to our understanding and recognition of the Presence. Every tradition helps us explore the truth that Spirit is living, in us, as us, and as all creation.
