Spiritual Growth Is Vital For Wellness

By Jerry King


A human being is body, mind and spirit. It is important for all these areas to grow. One should not take spiritual growth for granted. It gives sense and meaning to life. Life will become better once a person embraces spirituality. This is simply connecting with something bigger. There is more than what an individual can see with his eye. There is the realm of the spirit. This is unseen and intangible. One can choose to see it as something outside one's body. Alternatively, other people think that they have spirits inside them.

Food for the soul is vital. People feed their bodies. The body is adored above everything. It is given the best of clothes and perfume. The mind is also honored. People go to school so that to grow their minds. The affairs of the heart are never left out. That is why a person will search for a life partner.

The spirit is there. It exists, even if a person is ignoring it. It listens to everything in one's mind and knows beforehand what an individual will do next. Life will be meaningless and sad if one does not appreciate the value of the spirit. To be happy, comfortable and satisfied, growing one's spirit will help. It starts with baby steps.

There is some mysticism to life. Not everything is understandable. There are things that are beyond the scope of human understanding. A person may want to know why people have to suffer. One may desire to understand what happens when an individual dies. All these are questions that cannot be answered by flesh and blood. They require spiritual reasoning.

Growth is needed whether it is body wise or spirit wise. At the end of the day, what matters most is going to the next level. There are various spirit levels. With continued growing, it will reach a point where one will have spirit eyes. These will see great and amazing things that the normal eyes cannot see or comprehend.

Religion is as old as civilizations. Since the first man inhabited the world, there has always been the reverence of a Greater Being. Ancient people looked towards the mountains and the lakes for help in terms of trouble. However, modern people look inside because one's spirit is the inner self that communicates with The Divine. Christianity and Islam are the leading religions.

One can be a non-believer yet place a lot of value on issues pertaining to the spirit. It is not an issue of faith. It is more than what someone believes in. This matter is primarily about the inner self. That side that no one can see but only a person. People can only see the outside. They cannot see the soul.

The spirit is bigger than everything else yet very few people see the need to grow in this area. Before one was brought to this world, he was a spirit. After dying, an individual will become a spirit. The human body is not eternal but the spirit endures forever. It will leave the body and exist in its own.
