Here are a few quotes supportive of the definition of the word "spirit". "Like fire, which is a spiritual order of vibration, spirit is latent in all matter. One might as well try to operate a steam-engine without its boiler as to give motion to matter against the conditions imposed by nature, or to propose a new method of controlling the action of our physical organisms (other than through the sympathetic transfer of our mental forces) as an improvement on the one instituted by the Almighty." Keely, A Newton of the Mind "Spirit is a universal essence pervading all nature, even unconscious matter, and manifesting in many ways, such as cohesion, adhesion, etc. It is a Divine, universal, essence-like Soul, but of a lower rate. Spirit essence makes its first material manifestation in the formation of electrons, which enter into the composition of atoms. Soul, as an essence, can manifest only psychically, because of its very high rate of vibration." Lewis "And when it is realized that that portion in matter that is taken into the body of man from plant life [vegetarianism], and from the active forces, is from this very essence (that universal force called Spirit) that the experimentations are to be made upon, how much more effective, how much closer are the experimenters or operators to the very force or vitality in the body to which the experiments are to be carried for an effectual activity in the affairs or in the life of the body or man itself." Cayce (440-13) "The basis of an the individuality of an entity must come from its ideal spirituality. For all is born first in spirit, then in mind, then it may become manifested in the material plane. For God moved and the heavens and the earth came into being. God is Spirit. Man with his soul, that may be a companion to the Creative Forces, is of that same source. Thus to grow in grace and knowledge, one applies, one has, one uses one's spiritual self. And with what spirit we apply, we grow also in mind and body." Cayce (3424-1) |
