The mind is a powerful, alterable device. It can be aimed or guided by spiritual parameters or physical. Mankind has been so conditioned to the five (5) senses that we really do not have much sense. "If it feels good, do it"; "It looks good, must be OK!"; "I feel like I'll be alright"; "Sounds good to me"; "Just let me have a little taste"; "It smells awful, so it must be bad". Ever hear any of these. We live by our senses and then wonder why we cannot achieve joy, peace, and love.
Spirit is of the "heart". Spirit is what and who we are. God breathed a part of Himself into each of us. We are a part of the "glue" which holds together and controls our world/universe. We are a measurable, (sometimes) visible, electromagnetic field (force). It is our spirit. It can be connected to the Creator or source by the Holy Spirit much as plugging a cord into a wall and turning on a radio.
We do not tap into the source for our "juice", so we do not get "juiced". Therefore, it is impossible to reap the benefits of joy, peace, and love. Psychology is the study of the mind. The mind is guided by something. As long as it is the flesh (senses), the existence will remain a shallow, unfulfilled one. Plugged in to the Holy Spirit will yield all those things for which man so futilely searches and cannot find. We try to intellectualize that which cannot be discerned in that manner and become frustrated with our failure.
One does not go to Taco Bell for information or repair of his automobile, so why do we seek these things from any place but the Creator?
Psychology of the Spirit, mmmm! Food for thought and space for blog.
