A life governed by the dictates of the world; one fraught with lingering emptiness and acute disquiet, is a life unacquainted with its own spiritual inner Being.
We are, without question, spiritual Beings. An apt definition of Spirit, affirmed in our own time, is that given by Samuel Johnson in his Dictionary of the English Language, published in April 1755, i.e., “Spirit is intellectual power distinct from the body.”
The term “intellectual power” used in this sense has to do with our innate capacity to sense by way of intuitive spiritual perception God’s presence: in essence, an enlightened intellect becoming our “spiritual eye.” Such enlightenment quiets the mind, affords a sense of deep inner peace and, most importantly, allows us to begin life anew secure in our own goodness and self-love.
