As spirits in a physical body, we use concepts to anchor our psyche in this world such as love and truth. Depending on individual personality and social environment, these concepts are arbitrary to the strength in which we apply them, but we need something to hang our hat on. We need guideposts to find our way as we navigate our way through society. We all have a perception of what we believe as true and in this age of science and mental acuity, our ability to witness and reason is generally what we use to discern the truth. In other words, if it's logical, if it makes sense then it must be true. However not all truths are based in our logic, they just don't make sense to us here on earth. For instance, a person that chooses to drink alcohol and thus become an alcoholic has increased the complexity of functioning as a member of society. It isn't logical to be an alcoholic, making life in general more difficult but the truth is that they are an alcoholic. An argument could be made that no one chooses to be an alcoholic, but is there anyone that doesn't know the risk when they choose to drink? The practice of this concept ties into faith of course, but in my understanding I am working hard at grasping this so that it is second nature. Our human experience is constantly challenging us to ask, "How can I believe in what I cannot see?" The quick answer is usually, "You believe in air, don't you." But that is backed by scientific discovery and evidence. The witnessing of my ego and the discovery of my soul is beyond our earthly concepts and logic. So I will happily and excited continue on my journey; letting go of conventions and discovering new concepts of truth and love.
God speed
