When we begin to speak about Spirit, it is well to realize that this is not the same as the spirit that is spoken of when we use terms like school spirit or team spirit. Spirit that I am writing about has no us as well as no them. There is not even an inkling of background and foreground, figure and ground as artists call them. The Spirit of which I am speaking joins all in a realm of energy and vibration. Awareness of this realm is and has been for humans throughout time been a prerequisite for our humanity. Whether we reflect or absorb energy, whether we are a source of positive or negative energy and whether or not we respond to the spirit of others often affects our relationships and possibilities which present themselves to us. We need to understand the Spirit with which things are given if we are to make sound decisions on our choices.
A few examples must be considered and today there was an excellent example played out for us at Edwards Air Force Base. In the Spirit of "preparedness" a drill was taken a bit too seriously. The news was transmitted around the globe that there was an "active shooter" situation there. The whole thing was a mistake, but the purposes of the fear mongers were still served, quite well. Officials in the national "security" establishment used this fake report as fuel for the fear machine, reflecting a white hot light on the fact that they want us all to be afraid during our upcoming holiday weekend.
Gang of Four put it best, "Independence ain't dependence." When we allow our Spirit to be hidden under a bushel, it deprives the world of the opportunity of seeing the light that is within each of us. My friends at the Beehive Collective share the message, "Talk to strangers." that is how you spark interaction, how you lend credence to the idea that we each live as Spirit as well as flesh and blood.
