Spiritual Growth Is Necessary For Wellbeing

By Jerry King


The body does not exist in a vacuum. It depends on one's spirit and the mind. This trinity brings the fullness of a human being. Thus, spiritual growth is a matter of paramount importance. It is through spirituality that life becomes meaningful and purposeful. What one sees, touches, smells and hears is pure vanity. The things that are unseen and untouchable are the ones that matter most. Such are found in the spirituality realm. People have varied spiritual perspectives. One may think that the spiritual relates to things far above the sky. Another person may have an inward perspective.

Food for the soul is vital. People feed their bodies. The body is adored above everything. It is given the best of clothes and perfume. The mind is also honored. People go to school so that to grow their minds. The affairs of the heart are never left out. That is why a person will search for a life partner.

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.

To many, life seems a mystery. Some see life as one big Rubik's cube or an unsolvable crossword puzzle. This is because of failure to connect the dots. The equation will be complete once the spirit is factored in and one will be able to enjoy the abundance of life. It is not all about flesh, blood, thoughts and emotions.

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.

The three major religions of the world emphasize spirituality. These are Christianity, Islam and Judaism. This is because of the belief in a Higher Being who is omnipresent and controls all the affairs of the world. There are many other religions apart from these. All of them emphasize on the purpose of one's spirit. Religious activity is usually geared towards nurturing an individual's spirit.

Being spiritual is not the preserve of people who subscribe to religious ideology. One can decide to grow spiritually even if he is a non-believer. This will have many benefits. This growth involves taking a deep look inside oneself. It more about the inside than the outside. No one else can see the spirit of another person. People only see the physical.

The spirit is bigger than everything else yet very few people see the need to grow in this area. Before one was brought to this world, he was a spirit. After dying, an individual will become a spirit. The human body is not eternal but the spirit endures forever. It will leave the body and exist in its own.
