When I was a kid I used to read survival stories, and wondered at the ability of some people to make it out of seemingly unsurvivable situations. One of the most amazing to me was the story of Ernest Shackleton and his trek out of Antarctica. It seems incredible that he made it, and yet he did. Why?
The more I have read on the human 'spirit', the more I have come to believe that we have an energy inside of us that, when accessed, allow us to do seemingly impossible things. People who survive impossible situations have called upon this energy to keep their bodies functioning long after they should have perished. Some used their children as a way to access their energy, while others used their love of life and a determination to succeed. In either case they drew upon their source, the very energy that animates life itself
The word 'spirit' derives from the Latin 'spirare', which means 'to breathe'. In the broadest sense 'breath' is the energy that moves through each one of us as we live our lives. Some western religions refer to this as the Holy Ghost, while eastern religions call this 'Chi' or 'Prana'. Martial artists claim that when you consciously access this energy you can execute seemingly impossible physical feats. Saints and sages are recorded as using this energy to perform miracles.
The question is not whether you believe these stories, but whether you can see this power operating inside yourself.
You have 'spirit' inside of you, and when you access this energy you can do amazing things. All creation comes from this energy. You, as a conscious being, are able to direct it, choose it and make it 'real' in the world. The only question is whether you will allow this energy to show itself.
You cannot deny your spirit, because it exists. You feel it every time you wake up, smile, laugh, or do something powerful. You can, however, try to hold it back. You do this through doubt, fear and resistance. People who doubt themselves or fear dying are usually the first to perish in a survival situation. This is because they are blocking their own spirit...their life energy.
When you love, laugh, feel joy...are kind, compassionate, and caring...have faith and believe in yourself, then you access the 'true you'. You live in the energy of your spirit, and make everything possible.
Today resolve to allow your spirit to shine through! Intend to display your life force, and move through the world with it as your anchor! If you do this you can literally create miracles...and live a happier and more meaningful life!
