We are spiritual beings having a human experience. What defines this most is when we awaken and become aware of our true spiritual form. It is characterized by an awareness of a natural capacity for forgiveness, faith, selflessness, empathy, tolerance, real love and compassion. These are the attributes of the soul, forgotten and inhibited once we are born into human existence and the weakness of the flesh. In such an awakening, we realise that we were not sent into the world to serve ourselves but to serve a greater purpose and that this involves various forms of self sacrifice. As spiritual beings we possess the ability to comfort the inconsolable, to accept the weakness in others, to defy apathy, to defy ambition and to defy temptation. We do not need to see to believe. If you have lived a life without ever knowing love, it is because you are alive, belonging to divine love. All things upon the earth are corruptible, including love. If we redefine human morality, we adapt to an acceptable level of evil, thus reinterpreting what is God given to rationalise our human existence. Such an existence is smaller than a grain of sand.The attributes of the soul are difficult to reconcile in a world that suppresses them.
Faith, Forgiveness, Empathy, and Selflessness are heavenly virtues inherited by the human spirit before the flesh is corrupted on earth. Once we recognise this as our natural form, we come closer to our natural home which is beyond this world, but we must accept the sacrifice of human rejection and persecution.
