Mind, Body And Spirit

Ancient Teachings tell us that each one of us are composed of
Three Principal Characteristics: Mind, Body and Spirit.
Spirit: When we speak of Spirit we are referring to Divinity Itself.
As a Creation of Divinity we contain that Spark (a DNA Imprint,
if you will) which identifies all of us as a "Child" of Divinity. That
Spark, that DNA Imprint, is within all of us. It is that Divine Essence
which Ancient Sanskrit teachings refer to as the "God Within",
the Atman. Atman, our God Within, is linked directly to Brahman,
The Creator. This teaches us that we and our Creator are One.
Spirit is also described as the Vital Life Force which is Eternal and
Perpetual. Spirit gives life to all of Creation. Spirit is that Life Force
of The Creator which provides every living thing with its very own
Unique Personality, its Divine Nature.
This Unique Personality is what the Ancient Egyptians referred
to as the Ba. The Ba is depicted, hieroglyphically, as a bird (which
represents Spirit) with the head of the deceased individual. This
depiction tells us that although the deceased individual is no longer
a part of the material realm, their personality, memories and Spirit
remain with us, and within the universe, forever.
It is this Spirit...this Ba...this Divine Life Force which provides the
Spiritual Energy that animates our physical body during our
current Incarnation. This Spiritual Energy which animates our
physical body is what the Ancient Egyptians referred to as the Ka.
And while the Ba is eternal, the Ka is temporary and only serves us
during our physical Incarnation in the material realm.
Body: This is the physical structure which our Spirit (our Ba)
occupies during our current Incarnation. Our body is formed of
matter. Being formed of matter means that our body is temporary,
and it has certain limitations which are governed by the natural
laws of the physical realm.
However, our physical limitations can be reduced, and our physical
experiences can be increased, by mastering the Spiritual Energy
that governs our body by way of our Mind.
Mind: The Mind is the Undefinable third aspect of our Divine
Nature which, along with our Spirit, is in direct contact with Divinity.
The Mind is Limitless. It is through the mind that we create,
imagine, excel and grow (both Spiritually and materially). It is also
through the Mind that we can choose to limit ourselves with thoughts
of inferiority and inadequacy.
Our Mind is that Spiritual Tool which we refer to as Free Will. And,
as the Mind maintains a continual and direct access to Divinity, it
has the power and ability to achieve anything we choose for it to
achieve.
The Mind can change our Thoughts. When we change our Thoughts
we change our experiences. When we change our Thoughts we also
change our Destiny. We can use our mind to free ourselves of
self-imposed limitations. We can use our Mind to heal ourselves.
We can use our mind to heal others. We can use our Mind, through
Meditation, to access Divinity and thereby get answers to whatever
it is we wish to understand. Our Mind is Powerful and Limitless in
its abilities and it is the one "thing" over which we have Absolute
Control!
The Spiritual Energy contained within our Mind can take us from
"rags to riches". Our Mind can access the mysterious and unknown.
Our Mind is the Direct Link which allows us to speak to, and hear
answers from, Divinity.
Each one of us possesses a Mind, Body and Spirit. We could not exist
in the material realm without all Three of these Characteristics. It is
up to us to choose how we will use these Divine Three.
Eternal and All-Powerful Divinity is forever with, and within, us.
Divinity always stands ready to grant us the Peace, Contentment
and Harmony we long for. Our Mind has to simply choose and
focus upon only those Blessings which are important to us and
Our Divine Nature.
Once our Mind has determined what it is that we truly want it then
communicates our request to Divinity. Once our Mind is in Direct
Harmony with Divinity we can then experience, and enjoy, all the
material and Spiritual Blessings that Divinity is ready and willing
to bestow upon us.
