Functions Of Being
Spirituality information tells us that everything in existence, seen and unseen, is interconnected. Your spiritual growth always leads you to this truth. You can use the law of attraction to focus on this truth and know it in your experience. Your spirit knows this truth at all times.
The mind and body are not clear on this fact. Unless they are. Typically the mind and the body, while residing in the physical relative universe, exist within a belief system that says they are separate from God and separate from all other people and things. This typical belief system stems from the agreement we all made with God when we entered the physical universe. We all voluntarily agreed to forget that who we really are is a spirit child of God with all of the same properties and abilities as God.
This voluntary amnesia of who we really are allows us to choose to be who we are, rather than knowing all along that we are a spirit child of God.
This choice, this free will, is the very essence of God's desire to experience every facet of itself in, as and through you. The resource you use to make these choices is most often the mind.
Your mind functions within the scope and totality of the universal mind. It's like you have your own library card to the infinite library of knowledge that exists to supply you with whatever information you may desire.
The information that is available to you serves you much like the duality of all things in this physical relative world.
First, this mind part of our mind, body, spirit make up is the storehouse of all of our experiences. This concept that we call memory is a function of the mind.
Secondly, the mind has the ability to bring forth, from the universal mind, that which we put our attention on. The universal mind is the storehouse of all knowledge of the physical and the metaphysical. What we consider our own mind has access to everything that is through its connection with the universal mind.
Living within the confines of this human body and living within the constrictions of space and time we, as humans, limit ourselves in the agenda of knowledge that we process at any given time. So, unlike the spirit, which has one hundred percent knowingness at all times, our mind and body restrict their knowledge to that which they have brought forth to deal with the life situations and circumstances that are important to them.
In other words, the mind is bringing forth that which the mind and body are putting their attention on. The spirit is bringing forth that state of being which allows the soul to know itself as God.
So, we have the body, the physical part of our beingness, that functions by doing things in the physical world which allow us to experience whatever it is that we are putting our attention on. Doing is a function of the body.
The spirit, the metaphysical part of our beingness, is always being something that reflects an aspect of God. Since God is all things, then the spirit has the ability to reflect all states of being. It is your choice. Being is a function of the soul.
The mind, the nonphysical part of our beingness, functions as the conduit of information, generally in the form of thoughts, between the state of beingness that our soul is after and the state of doingness that the body is demonstrating in every moment of now.
The body is always doing something. This is its job. It is a physical body functioning in a physical world. It is in a constant state of doingness. Whatever it is doing in any particular moment of now may be in alignment with what the spirit is being, or it may be doing what it is doing in spite of what the spirit is being. It is a choice that the body and mind decide on, given the information they have called forth, and based to a large degree on the foundational belief system that the person holds about life.
The spirit can lead you to those events, circumstances and opportunities that will allow you to experience that which you have indicated is your desire or intention to experience. Once again, what you actually experience is entirely up to you depending on the choices you make to fulfill these intentions and desires.
It is always a matter of choice.
