Spirituality information tells us that we are all one. We are all one with the source of our existence, this process we call God. In essence, we are God in physical form. Do you think of your self as God? In the realm of the physical, relative universe we basically call ourselves Human Beings. Not human doings, human beings. Let's take a look at this three-part being we call a human. The three parts of our beingness are mind, body and spirit. There are many names that we can use to substitute for what we are going to describe as our beingness. Each of these triad labels depicts this three-in-one relationship with different words but they all reference the essence of the holy trinity that makes up who we really are. The ultimate characterization of the holy trinity is called Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is the way a theologian might describe the essence of God. This gender specific description might just as easily be called Mother, Daughter and Holy Spirit. Either gender can be used for the absolute definition of that which gives rise to (Mother, Father), that which is risen (Son, Daughter), and that which is (Holy Spirit). If you were dealing within the field of psychiatry you would be talking in terms of the conscious, subconscious and super conscious. Philosophical discussions would revolve around the id, the ego, and the super ego. The scientific community would be dealing with these concepts of energy, matter, and anti-matter. Poetic license brings forth images of mind, heart and soul. For our discussion within this literary genre of metaphysics we are going to use the more spiritually based label of mind, body and spirit because it so accurately describes the concepts that are relevant to our dialogue. Body, mind and spirit. The physical, the nonphysical and the metaphysical. One part of our beingness is physical, the body. The other two parts of our beingness are not physical. Our mind is nonphysical and our spirit is metaphysical. My dictionary describes metaphysical as 1. Of, or having the nature of, metaphysics 2. Very abstract or subtle 3. Super-natural. (I really like this one). Metaphysics is defined as 1. The branch of philosophy that seeks to explain the nature of being and reality 2. Speculative philosophy in general. "The branch of philosophy that seeks to explain the nature of being and reality." We are not seeking to understand and explain the nature of doing and reality. Doing is what happens after we make a choice concerning who we are being. The action of doing is what ultimately manifests our creations but that choice of actions is determined by who we are being when we make the decision to take action. The body, the physical part of our beingness, is the part that takes the actions and has the experience. The mind, the nonphysical part of our beingness, is the part that conceives the experience to begin with and sets in motion the creative process. We know that nonphysical means that something does not have a physical form or presence, but what does metaphysical mean? The spirit, the metaphysical part of our beingness, is the disembodied part of us that purely "is." The nonphysical aspect of ourselves, the mind, the universal mind of God, has the knowing which we seek to experience. The body, the physical aspect of ourselves, gets to act out our experience, that which we know of from the mind, and our spirit, the metaphysical aspect of ourselves, can then "be" that which we know and experience. So, contrary to what many people have thought all their lives, we are not "discovering life" as we move through each moment of now. We are, in fact, "creating our lives" and the world we live in, in each and every moment of the eternal moment of now. We are in the continual process of creating life experiences in order to fulfill our purpose for existence, which is to experience in the physical realm all that God knows as concepts in the realm of the absolute. Good job. Bravo. We are God, goding.
