Not to pick on Sarah Palin, but since she put herself out there as capable of being one cancer away from the nuclear trigger, we really, really, really need to ask ourselves if we want a Spirit bleeder in that position, a Spirit bleeder referring to the term Spirit bleeding which I came up with in my last post and got me to thinking how we might understand it, from both the personal and collective perspective, first letting Spirit have a wide range of meanings that have one central intersecting meaning that refers to the capacity for and energy of love/ compassion, a love that uplifts one's spirits, expands one's sense of wellbeing, and continuously creates the opportunities for a consciousness expanding understanding of life and one's own being, all of this giving us a definition of Spirit, which depending on one's identification as religious, irreligious, nonreligious, atheist, agnostic or politician, shouldn't offend, as each person can add what they want to in terms of a Kosmos, a first cause, God, Absolute, Big Bang or for those less imaginatively endowed, little bang, but the point being for a blog that aims at being all-inclusive, I am attempting to give a malleable texture to these posts, and in this particular word, Spirit, something that the reader can hold as a content of the imagination, an aspect or quality of mind and body, as a soul, self, atman or whatever more expansive or boundaryless understanding one wants and turning to that other word, bleeding, combined with Spirit to indicate a lessening of Spirit, an absence of love, an injury to one's sense of wellbeing, inhibiting consciousness expanding understanding, leaving us with two two-word combinations, Spirit bleeding, as a qualifier and Spirit Bleeder, a person who bleeds the Spirit from others, and finally, recognizing that we all have the capacity to and sometimes act as Spirit bleeders, this post is to begin the differentiation of body, mind, and Spirit with the intention of "sitting" in each through meditations to come in future posts, with the idea of gaining some awareness of how they affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions, thus providing a foundation for integrating them into a greater sense of self awareness and presence in the now.
Is this going to fly?
