Everything is Spiritual

All actions, what we were, what we watch, how we communicate, it is all spiritual. The seats we sit in, the commercials we see, the news we watch, everything is spiritual. The clothes we wear, the things we think, the things we eat, and what we listen to, it is all spiritual. Everything communicates something about how we are interacting with the Creator. Everything communicates something about how our Creator is communicating or wants to communicate to us about our spiritual connection to God. When we are spiritually alive we can see this. When we are connected to our spirit, the spirit of God within us, the image of God that we were created with; we can see everything that God is doing.

The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can't receive the gifts of God's Spirit. There's no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God's Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God's Spirit is doing, and can't be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah's question, "Is there anyone around who knows God's Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?" has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ's Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:14-16

Psychology calls this insight and awareness. Some cultures call this a Satori or instant awakening. Some eastern religions call it enlightenment. Jesus calls it life. Real life is lived when we realize that everything is spiritual, that God is speaking to us through everything thing that happens, the things we see, the medium the communicates it, and the way that we think. For instance, churches create enviroments to communicate something to you when you walk in. It could be "we want to make you comfortable so you know that God is comfortable," or "we take music seriously and we want you to know God is in music." What people wear or do not wear tells you many things about them. Television commercials communicate spiritual ideas. They communicate what is important in the culture and tells us how people are living out their spirituality, what is really important to people. God's spirit is everywhere speaking to us in every way imaginable. Listen to those messages today. Slow down and recognize that God is speaking.
