What and where is Spirit?

From The Christian Science Journal - May 16, 2011

Originally appeared on spirituality.com


If you’re like me, you’re looking for more and better spirituality than you had yesterday. Working at it each day, I’m growing a little at a time through searching the Bible and the best book I know that unlocks the verbal mysteries in the Bible—Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

I’ve been reading those two books for some time. But that’s not in itself requisite to begin one’s spiritual discovery. It can happen right now. It’s only recently, in fact, that my own search for a more reliable spirituality led me to the definition of Spirit in the Glossary of Science and Health. Seems odd that I didn’t do this before—at least not quite this way. It’s all part of forging ahead, I guess. There are moments that make you wonder if you’ll ever get the hang of it, and there are other times when you know you’re gaining some valuable insight. Spirit can go unexplained until one has a dependable source to refer to like this definition.

Anyway, I feel closer to Spirit now that I have more specific answers. Here’s what I found the other day that’s making it more tangible to me.
