Spirit is Higher

"Everybody seems to already know that the nature of God or Spirit or Consciousness or Being is higher in meaning, value, and inherent glory than the separate ego or the unique objects that make up the world around us. But I think we tend, more often than not, to overlook or just not see the profound implications of that simple truth."

In this blog, Andrew Cohen beautifully illuminates the nature and the face of Spirit - the Unmanifest and the Manifest, the One and the Many. He describes the evolution of human consciousness as a process in which ever-greater complexity and higher integration continually arise out of previous levels, and suggests that our personal evolution "depends upon our willingness to strive consistently to make philosophically and morally challenging distinctions".

"If Spirit, or God, is that which is always Highest, then how does that affect our perspectives and our judgments? Are they always informed by the natural hierarchy inherent at every level of the very fabric of the cosmos?"

Good question.

there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
when she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
with a word she can get what she came for
