You distinguish between personality and Spirit. So while our personality strives to survive and succeed and get our physical and psychological needs met, our spiritual nature is the eternal part of us that operates behind all of personality's masks. We want a meaningful life, but we're worried about the mortgage, the credit card bills, college expenses and the retirement fund. So we're busy and preoccupied that meaning and spirituality has gotten gets lost in the midst of it all. It's the life force we share with all living things.
Spirit lives in everyone's heart.
It's our basic nature. It's our connection with others, the world and the universe. It's why people go to churches, temples, synagogues and meditation centers. It's what people pray to. It's what we sense when we feel wonder or awe, as when we hear Ave Maria or Kol Nidre , chant Om, stand in a virgin forest, or hold a newborn in our arms.
