Letter Or Spirit, One Kills, One Gives Life

Head to heart, from letter to spirit. The journey from one to the other is the longest 18 inches in the world. When we began questioning life’s orthodoxy; as we all do too some degree usually beginning in our teens or early twenties, we could never dream where the thread would lead. As we age, and hopefully grow a little wiser, the fire to question unfortunately dims for many. I suppose that is not all bad, it would be hard to imagine a world full of middle aged teenagers where the trains ran on time. Unfortunately advancing age often brings complacency, rolling over us silently like the fog that slips in on cats paws, the passion we once had in our thinking and lives dimming; the fire all but extinguished. Having become invested in the status quo, it becomes easier to go along than to address hard questions.

How do you live today? By letter or spirit?

The world requires certain rules, laws if you prefer, in order to function but rules when enforced at the cost of the individual run contrary to The Law of Being, that we are all spiritual beings, connected one to another. The secular world operates on the letter while the spirit begs: Is it “correct or right” to refuse help to anyone simply because they don’t meet the letter of the law? The letter answers all these questions with rationale, while the spirit weeps.

Who has also made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for letter kills, but the spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6)
