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.

Spiritual food is just as important as the normal food. A person's spirit deserves nourishment but few individuals do these. All that most people are concerned with is beautifying their bodies and satisfying their stomachs. Yet, the body and the stomach will be destroyed and the spirit will remain. Being beautiful and eating right have their place in wellness. However, one should not forget the need for spiritual nourishment.

The spirit is largely ignored. No wonder many people are living sad, meaningless lives. Happiness, satisfaction, and comfort are all in the spirit. Growing one's spirit can be through meditation. It can also be through prayers. Being part of a belief system will help with this matter. There is need to belong to something bigger that transcends all the cultures.

There is some mysticism to life. Not everything is understandable. There are things that are beyond the scope of human understanding. A person may want to know why people have to suffer. One may desire to understand what happens when an individual dies. All these are questions that cannot be answered by flesh and blood. They require spiritual reasoning.

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.

Religion is as old as civilizations. Since the first man inhabited the world, there has always been the reverence of a Greater Being. Ancient people looked towards the mountains and the lakes for help in terms of trouble. However, modern people look inside because one's spirit is the inner self that communicates with The Divine. Christianity and Islam are the leading religions.

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.
