HEALING AND DEALING ARTICLES
The Spiritual Body
Desiring Spirit and Cultivating Faith
I talked about how spirit has to commit to the rest of itself; the mental,
emotional and physical bodies, in order for us as whole beings to be fully
embodied and present. So what's our side of it, how do we have responsibility to
draw our spirits to us, and keep them with us? Desire is a key. We call on the
angels, we call on ascended masters, we call on devas and faeries, we call on
Jesus, we call on Buddha, we pray to God. The step we may have been missing
here is to consciously call on our personal spirits to be present with us, to guide
us, to help us be big, to bridge the gap to the Divine.
Our spiritual power is relatively untapped, and having a close, honest look
at our misfired lives reveals a reflection of this latency, manifested as a lack of
flow, a lack of abundance, a lack of grace. Certainly we all have moments and
seasons of time when these gifts are present with us, but those moments pass,
and quite often we find ourselves feeling as though having fallen from a great
height, wanting yet experiencing lack. Certain bodies of so-called spiritual
wisdom have wanted to distract us from our subjective reality's truth that we do
indeed feel lack. We are told to look at all we have, look at how much better we
have it than the people in (fill in name of 3rd world country here). We have to get
real with how we feel, and not compare ourselves out of our true feelings there.
It's a complex loop. True, unadulterated desire for spirit can draw and keep
spirit present, but in our emotional bodies we have to deal with the hopelessness
and old denied rages and hurts at having deeply desired spirit in the past only to
have spirit not come no matter how much we wanted it to come. We have
judgments holding these old feelings in place that say, among other things, that
desire for spirit's power is wrong, that desire to be one with our spirits doesn't
help anyway so why bother feeling desire. These judgments, and others like them,
need release in the manner described in a previous article ("More On The Mental
Body"), as do the old, held feelings with them. The more we can do this, the more
present our spirit can be with us, if we can dare to reach for it again. Healing for
this part of us might look like asking God for help in this area, to help guide our
personal spirit back to us, to help our spirit integrate itself as part of the whole
being, to help each of us know individually how to attract and keep our spiritual
body present and aligned with us.
One last key aspect of healing with our spiritual bodies is cultivating a sense
of faith that what we want, finding our right place and path in life, will come to us
via our spirit once we put it out there. Trust and faith in whatever we call God,
and in our spirit, can come once we move through all old anger and hopelessness
and hurt towards Spirit for not being there for us in the past.
