Richness of soul and spirit

RICHNESS OF SOUL AND SPIRIT 

 

  1. Question number one: what is spirit and soul?
  2. The second: is my spirit rich and soul fertile?
  3. Is my body well-connected with my spirit and soul?

 

I don’t know the exact answer, but my gut feel is that it is the summary of all good that I have felt, experienced, seen, observed and done. All the good intentions that I carry in my heart and mind, translated or un-translated — my spirit absorbed all this and shaped itself.

 

Thus, if now I have to feel my spirit is very light and fulfilled, as whatever I experienced and achieved is embedded in the will of God and as he is only kind and giving, my spirit too is nothing more than a microcosm of the infinite mercy and energy of kindness and giving that it receives from the source of all that is visible and invisible.

 

Defining spirit is not easy, as it is converted to the infinite and eternity.

 

But this small note does direct me towards the answer and I cannot put it into words or visible explanations, but I can feel the richness of my spirit via the infinite source.

 

Another way to understand the reply to the question is, if I ask myself if I do love my loved ones, and just how much I really do love them.

 

If the answer is that I love my loved ones infinitely and will do everything for them, I can then surely say that my spirit is full of love, care and concern, and thus I do live in the spirit of love and care. A short metaphor can explain this. If a container, which is made of plastic, is full of pure water, people will generally not be too concerned with the type and quality of plastic. They will, however, be very focused on the purity levels of the water. The soul and spirit to me are like the water quality in a human being’s existence and not the body, which is like the plastic container: it has a lower significance in the hierarchy.

 

As soon as I write this, my spirit lifts to a high, I am in loving spirits that can made me do everything — large or small— on a path of love, care and compassion.

 

This small experiment with my own feelings of love and care reignites my spirit, which in turn prepares my brain and heart to respond to challenges that will have to be undertaken as I, in the spirit of my love for my loved ones, can reshape the strength of my head, heart and body and achieve the call of the soul and spirit. It is about creating the right intent to make positive action possible.

 

In same spirit of love, care and compassion, my head will guide me to keep myself fit and fine. If I am not fit and fine, I cannot serve my spirit of love and will not be able to positively serve and nurture the purpose of my spirit.

 

I hope this indirect very small explanation shed some light on the questions as to what is spirit? It’s role in my life?

 

It also makes me go through the simulated experiment and experience the depth and purpose of the spirit. Once we are in harmony with our spirit and our self, we are much more well-aligned with Allah and his purpose as to why he created us.

Past, present and future

PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE

What is the right balance between nurturing past relations and assets vs. focus on present and future-related pursuits?

This question comes to my mind every day.

I move between the present and past extremely frequently and always try to stay loyal to it, while simultaneously doing maximum justice to present responsibilities. But inside myself I harbor a deep guilt which keeps raising its head inside my psychic ocean. It tells me I must care more for my past relations and find out where the old friends and relatives with whom I spent some of the most beautiful parts of life are, and what can I do for them.

There are some characters who have passed away, and I just hold on to the beauty of the time spent with them, as well as the high and lows I enjoyed with them in my soul and spirit .

I feel that keeping a good balance between the past and present is vital for a smooth inner being and a balanced personality.

What do I mean by inner being?

Let me dig a little here. I mean that sometimes I have a multiple persona — whoever John Kingz (JKZ) in the past, is not the same JKZ at present. To me, this logically means that there is more than one being in any individual. However a bridge does exist upon which both past and present JKZ both travel on. What I mean by this refers to the smoothness of the inner being as the strength of the connection between the past and current self. The smoother the bridge, the more coherent and stronger the character of the person.

I will always remember the three lines of my grandfather:

“If wealth is lost, nothing is lost.”

“If health is lost, something is lost.”

“If character is lost, everything is lost.”

When I now link this to the past-and present-self concept, I feel the above three lines mean that the two tangible items (wealth and health) are less significant while the invisible, intangible attribute of character carries far more weight-age. Therefore I feel the link between past and present selves is the strength of character required to have a good balance, where past relations and the character feel the same closeness to the past as to the present and future. Once that is established, the soul, spirit and happiness levels lift inside the present self, which then acquires the right values and leadership traits to not only do justice to the past and present, but also for the uneven and uncertain roads of the future.

Thus, love your past and loved ones from their. Keep the fragrance of friendship alive, no matter how those characters from the past treat you. Sometimes you aren’t treated well, or at least not as well as you expect, but still — persevere on the road of one-way care and one-way love. You will deposit values that you may not even realise, but one day the only saving in your mortal and after-life bank are those gestures of love and care that will stand by you, while everything else — wealth, health, beauty, etc. — will all be consigned to the dustbin of eternity.
