Spiritual Growth Is Vital 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 spirit matters. A person who feeds his soul grows. One who only feeds his body is doing a great disfavor to himself. If there is need for holistic wellbeing, an individual should feed the soul, the mind and the body. Knowledge and information help the mind to grow. However, growing spiritually is a completely different ball game.

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.

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.

Man was meant to be a spirit being. However, most humans try very much to separate themselves from their essence of being that is their spirit. Before a person was conceived and brought to this world, he existed as a spirit. With death, the body decomposes and perishes and the soul is removed and starts existing on its own.
