Spiritual Growth Is Necessary For Wellbeing

By Jerry King


A human being is body, mind and spirit. It is important for all these areas to grow. One should not take spiritual growth for granted. It gives sense and meaning to life. Life will become better once a person embraces spirituality. This is simply connecting with something bigger. There is more than what an individual can see with his eye. There is the realm of the spirit. This is unseen and intangible. One can choose to see it as something outside one's body. Alternatively, other people think that they have spirits inside them.

Food for the spirit matters. A person who feeds his soul grows. One who only feeds his body is doing a great disfavor to himself. If there is need for holistic wellbeing, an individual should feed the soul, the mind and the body. Knowledge and information help the mind to grow. However, growing spiritually is a completely different ball game.

Most people have abandoned their spirits. They do not care about spirit welfare. Some individuals do not know that they have a spirit. That is why happiness is becoming an elusive thing. One can search all his life for something that he does not understand. That search for something elusive ends once a person makes a spirit connection. Prayers will help.

To many, life seems a mystery. Some see life as one big Rubik's cube or an unsolvable crossword puzzle. This is because of failure to connect the dots. The equation will be complete once the spirit is factored in and one will be able to enjoy the abundance of life. It is not all about flesh, blood, thoughts and emotions.

Growth is needed whether it is body wise or spirit wise. At the end of the day, what matters most is going to the next level. There are various spirit levels. With continued growing, it will reach a point where one will have spirit eyes. These will see great and amazing things that the normal eyes cannot see or comprehend.

The three major religions of the world emphasize spirituality. These are Christianity, Islam and Judaism. This is because of the belief in a Higher Being who is omnipresent and controls all the affairs of the world. There are many other religions apart from these. All of them emphasize on the purpose of one's spirit. Religious activity is usually geared towards nurturing an individual's spirit.

One can be a non-believer yet place a lot of value on issues pertaining to the spirit. It is not an issue of faith. It is more than what someone believes in. This matter is primarily about the inner self. That side that no one can see but only a person. People can only see the outside. They cannot see the soul.

There are three human realms. The greatest of them all is the spirit. It is the center that controls the mind, emotions and the body. A person should strive to grow spiritually. This will lead to growth in other areas. The body dies and the mind fades away but one's spirit will endure forever. The soul has an everlasting nature.
