What does it mean to say you are a spiritual being?

What does it mean to say you are a spiritual being?
Copywrite 2017 George Hartwell christian marriage counsellor
Imagine that you are a spiritual being. That your true core is a spiritual care with a spiritual processing centre, a spiritual perceptual ability and with the ability to choose and act in the spirit.  who could think, feel, choose.

Imagine your thinking in the spirit. It would be nearly instantaneous.

Imagine perceiving in the spirit. You would know what is real in the spirit world. Is that what children experience?

Imagine feeling in the spirit. Experiencing hostility or love, agitation or peace, depression or joy as who you are in your inner being.

Would we treat depression and anxiety different if we understood more about what this means in the spirit? I know we would.

Your choices, your desires, your visions, your goals - would they be different if you were more aware of yourself as a spiritual being? I believe they would.

Our spirit - the supernatural part of us, the breath of God in us - that is core of our true self. The human spirit is core to a full and human life.

Can you see yourself, your true identity as being spiritual? I don’t mean religious at all. I am talking basic psychology. I am talking about what it means to be human. We are spirit beings living in physical bodies.

What happens if our human spirit gets lost inside; is inaccessible; goes missing in action? What if that part of us that makes us human is under-functioning?

When that happens things like the following are experienced:
  1. We feel lost as if we are in a fog.
  2. We have difficulty connecting to people.
  3. We detach from others and unable to feel what they feel.
  4. We will have difficulty making good decisions and may ignore future consequences.
  5. May have trouble feeling our own feelings.
  6. May have troubles learning.
  7. May have health issues.
  8. We may have trouble connecting to God.
  9. We may have a struggle becoming an individual.
The reason that this is experienced is because we are spiritual but those capacities to be human must be nurtured by love (healthy attachment) from earliest childhood. Our physical needs nurture our body while spiritual connection (love) nurtures our soul (human spirit). The full capacities of the human being only emerge when the child has had loving connections right through childhood.

Marriage serves as a second opportunity to grow into emotional maturity. Here is another time of bonding that nurtures our spirit allowing us to grow more fully into our identity and opening up greater awareness of our feelings, our likes, our talents and our life mission. More joy is experienced from life.
