Can You explain what is spirit?

Question

Sprit

Answer 1

unnikutan,
Spirit is associated with the wind, or breath. It seems to be frail and subject to all sorts of currents and external influences. It is invisible the the fleshly eye, so it is thought by some not to exist.

Our flesh is considered natural. The spirit, 'supernatural.'

I would, after Biblical study, say that the opposite was true; That the spirit is 'supernatural' is saying that it is 'More Natural.' It is eternal. It is neverending. Spirits don't 'die.' They continue throughout eternity.

In a Christian perspective, all spirits have eternal life. But the spirit that is baptised with the Holy Spirit is washed clean. God sees it as unblemished, but the sins of the flesh are still evident.

One thing that made the race of man different to that of the Angels, is the flesh. An angel is just spirit. But God made men different, they were made with the fleshly body, and they had their body and spirit tainted by the act of Adam and Eve.

Once cleansed, the body will die, but the spirit becomes returnable to the Creator, and will be a part of the Creator's eternity, while those who choose not to believe are not counted as those that belong to Him, they decided to believe in themselves, or in something else.

Answer 2

The Spirit
This is described as having no mass, no wave-length,no energy and no time or location in space except by consideration or postulate.
The spirit is not a "thing". It is the "creator" of things.
The usual residence of the soul, (spirit, awareness of awareness unit....YOU) is in the skull or near the body.
The soul can be in one of four conditions.
1. Entirely separate from a body or bodies.
2. Near a body and knowingly controlling the body.
3. In the body (the skull).
4. An inverted condition, compulsively away from the body and unable to approach it.

There are degrees of each of the above 4 conditions.
The most optimum of these from the standpoint of man, is the second.

The Mind
This is a communication and control system between the spirit and it's (his) environment.
The mind is a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities and interactions of the spirit with the Physical Universe and other spirits/individuals.
These activities include the operating of a body and the solving
of problems related to survival and existence.
The mind has 2 Parts:
The Analytical Mind. The keynote of this mind is awareness. One knows what one is concluding and knows what one is doing.
The Reactive Mind. This is a stimulus response mechanism.
This mind acts below the level of consciousness. It never stops operating unlike the Analytical Mind which can be less aware or even completely unconscious.

The Body
A carbon/oxygen engine. This can best be studied in such books as "Grey's Anatomy" and other anatomical texts.

Answer 3

Spirit is the energy that we use to do all things. This energy itself records all our history, and when we die the body releases it. When it finds a suitable host in an embryo that doews not yet have a spirit, it incarnates itself into the embryo. After all, without energy, the embryo would not have life. Maybe this explains all the still-borns and miscarriages? No Spirit-Energy found it

Anyway, I'm not totally sure of this theory. It just strikes me as a possibility. Call it my working hypothesis. I won't force it on anyone else, I promise.

Answer 4

The Bible teaches the trichotomy of man (I Thess. 5:23). Man is a spirit, has a soul (mind, will, and emotions), and lives in a body. We are made according to God's image - not a physical one, but in a spiritual sense. John 4:24 states God is Spirit. A spirit is an incorporeal being. Spirits do not have bodies in and of themselves (Luke 24:39). I hope this helps. God Bless you.

Answer 5

In religion and spirituality, the respiration of the human being has for obvious reasons been strongly linked with the very occurrence of life. A similar significance has been attributed to human blood. Spirit in this sense denotes that which separates a living body from a corpse and usually implies intelligence, consciousness and sentience.
Spirits are often visualized as being interconnected to all others and The Spirit (singular capitalized) refers to the theories of a unified spirituality, universal consciousness and some concepts of Deity. All "spirits" connected, form a greater unity, the Spirit, which has both an identity separate from its elements plus a consciousness and intellect greater than its elements; an ultimate, unified, non-dual awareness or force of life combining or transcending all individual units of consciousness. The experience of such a connection can be a primary basis for spiritual belief. The term spirit has been used in this sense by at least Anthroposophy, Aurobindo, A Course In Miracles, Hegel, and Ken Wilber. In this use, the term is conceptually identical to Plotinus's "One" and Friedrich Schelling's "Absolute." Similarly, according to the pan(en)theistic aspect,

Spirit is the essence that can manifest itself as mind/soul through any level in pantheistic hierarchy/holarchy, such as a mind/soul of a single cell (with very primitive, elemental consciousness), or a human or animal mind/soul (with consciousness on a level of organic synergy of an individual human/animal), or a (superior) mind/soul with synergetically extremely complex/sophisticated consciousness of whole galaxies involving all sub-levels, all emanating (since it is non-dimensional, or trans-dimensional) from the one Spirit.

In Christian theology, the Spirit is also used to describe God, or aspects therof as in Holy Spirit, referring to a Triune God (Trinity): "The result of God reaching to man by the Father as the source, the Son as the course ("the Way"), and through the Spirit as the transmission."
