Is there a common spiritual nature between all human beings?

Question

I do not mean ie the need to reproduce or form an emotianal bond ect , more of an undeniable fundimental essance we all share

Answer 1

Hush and feel the heart beating within you. Come to the realization that there is a heartbeat just like yours within all other people. When interacting with others, become conscious of your own heartbeat and of theirs.

The day that it was written in books about gods was the day that ended peace.

Perhaps we should stop writing books and speak to one another and just try human kindness, and take better care of ourselves and neighbours.

Rather than seeking any connection, everyone wants to outdo everyone else. Everyone seems to be trapped in their books and dogma that they fail to see that we are all human beings with real hearts beating inside of us just trying to make the best with what we have.

Answer 2

paul h,
I think that there is. We all have a spirit. It's just that some are aware of it, and some are not.

Those that are only believing in what they see are either in total denial, or completely blind to it. I have been gifted with a few experiences that made it pretty much impossible to deny the fact that I have a spirit.

I feel sorry for others that either don't know that they have one, or are attempting to explain their experience away as some sort of chemical combination in the brain.

Answer 3

That's a very good question.

Yes, in fact Jesus said at Matthew 5:3 that those who were conscious of their 'spiritual need' would be happy. So yes it is something which is part of our essence as humans, we were created with a need and desire to worship our creator and we can only be truly happy when we satisfy this need properly.

I hope that the following link will be very useful in answering your question.

Frax.

Answer 4

Definitely.. and it is more evident than you think.
Think of the attractions we have: greed, gluttony, sex, power, vanity.. they are common.
Think of the good we do - generosity, kindness, affection, empathy, healing, trust... these things are common as well.
We have a common condition - and that is what God knows as our Creator and has spoken to us about - all the thngs above are taught to us by God.
We a have a human condition - but often are too close to it, or too broken to see it or to let it benefit our lives.
Our souls are unique yet all of these things are shared in our condition - and the deep need to know God and have friendship with him and his unconditional love. But we, in our nature and self-centerdness, deny it.
We are from one Creator who formed us in his image - a spiritual image of the things mentioned above, but unique from any other individuals with our own talents and abilities - isn't it beautiful?
But given free choice we rebel, have broken from a pure God and have made our broken condition - but there is a way to reconciliation through Christ.
God Bless - terrific question.

Answer 5

The only common nature among the humans is the feeling that there is an agent for all the happennings in the world as our experience on he earth is ha nothing happens without somebody or something being the cause of it .Every body was ignorant of the qualities of nature and everybody thought that there is somebody in the sky who is causing rains and riding a chariot that made thunderous sounds and sen fireballs to punish the humans ehrn they got displeased with them. The foundation of ignorance and the need for for controlling the wayward humans some intelligent persons capitalized on the ignorance of the humans to create the cocept of God and religions with all the consequential systems of punishments and rewards for sins and virtues respectively.
The fact is that nobody was born with a specific purpose and nobody was creaed with any purpose . Man has not understood the very character of nature till todayand would never fully undersand it . One simple proof of this point is that man speaks of nature as something different from himself and something
from which he is totally independent . It is just like the
hand or leg or any part of the body considering itself as something diffrent from the man or independent of the man.There is nothing really artificial in this world . Because
everything we fabricate artificially , is made up of the products of nature and things that are natural and we only arrange them or put them in combination of diferent netural things and some specific order to make something or other . Nothing is made of anything that is not made or created naturally. So is the
man and all lives and all animate and inanimate things in this
universe .So man is part of nature and a component of natural universe . He is nature and if nature is God , he is part of God . A man and any being is made of so many organs and each organ of any being , however important i might be , can not exis by otself . every organ depends on every othere organ of the being . The hand of a person can not exist by itself . So is his leg , his eyes , his mouth , o any inernal organ . They by themselves do not constitute the man . it is the combinaion of all these
and the concerted action of all the makes the man and enables him to live .If he and does not do some job , the mouth would not get the food . If the mouth does not grind the food and the tongue dose not taste the digestie juices would not secrete and if he diestive juices do not secrete and he tongue does not mix them
with the food , it would not pass down to the stomuch easily and get disintegrated into the different basic nutrients
to be mixed wih the blood to be taken to the cells of all organs of the body by the work done by the large number of organs of he body. evey one of the organs and the cells in them get their share of the food procured and processed by all the organs of the body in a concerted manner .This is how the society must also work. Just as each organ of the body did its job perfectly wihout any bias , prejudice or favour , every section of the society should do its duy for he welfare of all secions of he society as propounded in he priciple of varunashrama in Ghagavad Gita.If every part of the machanism , - Every wheel of a clock discharges its duty properly without bothering about the duty of others , every machine woud function efficiently. The spiritual nature in the humans should be directed to the achivement of the comon goal of the welfare of humanity and not of any particular religion or church or God . They are not to serve the Gods and the religions , but humanity. if the gods are not for the welfare of the humanity as a whole but for any particular group of people belonging to any particular religion alone , and for punishing the others , that God should be inhuman and not godly and should be worse than a mad man. It is how the followers of religions are picturing the Gods. They have nothing in common and everything in opposition to others not belonging to other religions . This is the reason for the enmity among the religions and the competitions for conversion. There is a competition for the enrollment of people and subscribers for various religions and this is nothing different from business competition by whatever name the efforts for conversion might be taken up. Every one attributes some reason for everything they do . Even a thief adduces some cause for his theft and the murderer adduces some cause for the commission of murder . The causes adduced do not justify the commission of the offences. The commonality in spritualiy is not a reality , It is a joke and in reality what is common among the religions is competition
and hatred and enmity. only when we accept the turth and realize the mistakes , we can mend and improve and rise at least one rung up in the ladder of human civility .

Answer 6

String Theory suggests there might be. Practically though, no. We occupy different spaces - we have different brains. We don't share anything in common any more than we do with a rock.

Answer 7

THE WORD IS CALLED LOVE SPIRITUAL LOVE ,NOT SEX PHYSICAL LOVE. THE WORLD AS I SEE IT IN SPIRIT IS SPIRITUALLY DEAD IN MOST OF THE PHYSICAL LIVING MORTAL SOUL ON THIS DAY .I FEEL ALL ALONE IN A WORLD THAT HAS BECOME A WORLD OF THE LIVING DEAD.A WORLD FULL OF LOST SOULS THAT ARE NO LONGER LIVING IN SPIRIT .,BLIND AND DEAF SPIRITUALLY DEAD IN LIFE AND DON'T EVER KNOW IT .The way of the spirit is what lives on.The way of the soul it comes to parish in the end.For nothing lives forever in this world ,ITS THE SPIRIT WITHIN YOUR SOUL THAT LIVES ON INTO EVERLASTING LIFE.
