What are the Laws of Spirit?

Question

How is spirit different from energy? Energy obeys certain laws in that it cannot be created or destroyed. How are the laws of spirit different from the laws of energy?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, merely transformed. Mass is a form of energy.

"In relativity theory, mass and energy are two forms of the same thing"

Yes, it is difficult to put into words sunman. How can Heaven and Hell be the same yet different?

Answer 1

Questor, I'm going to go out on a limb (again).This may not be the type of answer you intended to receive . To me spirit is Identity and energy is Action. Quote;"Identity may be termed action which is conscious of itself. For the purposes of our discussion,the terms 'action' and 'identity' must be seperated, but basically no such seperation exists. An identity is also a dimension of existence, action upon action, an onfolding of action upon itself,--and through this interweaving of action with itself, through this re-action, an identity is formed. The energy of action, the workings of action within and upon itself, forms identity. Yet though identity is formed from action, action and identity cannot be seperated. Identity, then, is action's effect upon itself. Without identity action would be meaningless, for there would be nothing upon which action could act. Action must, by it's very nature, of itself and it's workings, create identities. This applies from the most simple to the most complex. ....action is not a force from without that acts upon matter. Action is, instead, the inside vitality of the inner universe--it is the dilemma between inner vitality's desire and impetus to completely materialize itself, and it's inability to do so. This first dilemma results in action, and from action's own workings upon itself we have seen that identity was formed, and that these two are inseperable. Action is, therefore, a part of all structure. Action, having of itself and because of its nature would seem to destroy identity, since action must involve change, and any change seems to threaten identity. It is a mistaken notion, however, that identity is dependent upon stability. Identity, because of its characteristics, will continually seek stability, while stability is impossible. This is our second dilemma. It is this dilemma, between identity's constant attempts to maintain stabilty and action's inherent drive for change, that results in the imbalance, the exquisite creative by-product that is 'consciousness of self'. For consciousness and existence do not result from delicate balances as much as they are made possible by lack of balances, so richly creative that there would be no reality were balance ever maintained....Identity must seek stability while action must seek change; yet identity could not exist without change, for it is the result of action and a part of it. Identities are never constant as you yourselves are not the same from one moment to the next. Every action is a termination...And yet without the termination, identity would cease to exist, for consciousness without action would cease to be conscious. Consciousness, therefore, is not a 'thing' in itself. It is a dimension of action, an almost miraculous state, made possible by what I choose to call a series of creative dilemmas. It should be fairly easy to see how the second dilemma evolved from the first. I have said that the second one resulted in ---and constantly results in---consciousness of self. This is not ego consciousness. Consciousness of self is still consciousness directly connected with action. Ego consciousness is a state resulting from the third creative dilemma, which happens when consciousness of self attempts to seperate itself from action. Since this is obviously impossible, since no consciousness or identity can exist without action, we have the third dilemma....consciousness of self involves a consciousness of self within---and a part of---action. Ego consciousness, on the other hand, involves a state in which consciousness of self attempts to divorce itself from action---an attempt on the part of consciousness to perceive action as an object...and to perceive action as initiated by the ego as a result, rather than as a cause, of ego's own existence. These three dilemmas represent three areas of reality within which inner vitality can experience itself. And here also we have the reason why inner vitality can never achieve comeplete materialization. The very action involved in vitality's attempt to materialize itself adds to the inner dimension of vitality itself. Action [inner vitality] can never complete itself. Materializing in any form whatsoever, it at once multiplies the possiblities of further materialization. At the same time, because inner vitality is self-generating, only a minute fraction of it is needed to seed a universe. In line with the statement made earlier that action necessarily changes that which it acts upon [which is basically itself], then it follows that the action involved in [your creations] changes the nature of [the creations]. I have spoken often of consciousness as the direction in which a self focuses. Action implies infinite possibilities of focus." End of quote. The Seth Material by Jane Roberts.

Answer 2

Energy and mass occur in the physical realm. The spiritual realm is under God's control and direction. The physical and spiritual realms are altogether different, the former being subject to the latter. All things natural are created out of the spiritual. The phrase 'laws of the spirit' is not in the Bible. But Rom 8:2 compares the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (ie the New Covenant) with the law of sin and death (ie the Old Covenant)

Answer 3

Spirit is nonexistent, hence has no laws. And energy can be created or destroyed if converted from or to mass, but unless you are a research physicist or a nuclear weapons designer the conversion can be ignored.

ACTIVITIES OF THE SPIRIT

Angels are spirit [ as of John 3:5,6 water and spirit and in Day ages 5 of creation, animals are water flesh creatures ]; angels do not die Luke 20:34-36; Rev.5:11 Angels are vast in number, all though the 66 bible books.
