Yes, a chair is to sit on. A soft chair is more comfortable than a wooden box. And yet the ground will do.
There is custom, and there is comfort, and there is purpose.
And yet everything is more than it is taken for.
There is a spiritual lining in everything. The spiritual, unseen, often forgotten, is the main event.
Take a vitamin, for instance. There is an unseen vibration in a vitamin. There are analyzed components of a vitamin, yet it is the unseen vibration that strengthens you. It is always the spiritual unseen that works.
The outward observable has its place. A church building has its vibration. The one at the podium giving a sermon has a vibration. The words he or she speaks have their vibration. The unseen gives you its full value. The physical is only physical. The mental is only mental. The spiritual value is everything.
We can call the spiritual value consciousness. This is not consciousness as conscious of something. This is the state of consciousness, or, if you like, the vibration of it. We can call consciousness a vibration or a beat. It is not the music, but the beat of the music. Something from the music gets into your bloodstream.
You who are really unchanging are changed by everything, and you change everything. You are the changer and the changed. However uncognizant of the spiritual you may be, or may prefer to be, you are loaded with the spiritual. You are a God-given spiritual Being on Earth. You are the beautiful spiritual of which I sing.
You know there is a vibration of love. There is no chart of this vibration before you. No neon lights light up and say here is the spiritual measure of love, yet there is the spiritual in all love. There is a glimpse of the spiritual, perhaps so quick you don’t see it, yet something has transpired. The spiritual has transpired.
A rock you sit on has its spiritual value.
Everything is more than you think it is. You are more than you think you are. You are far more. The subtle unseen is far more powerful than the overt seen, touched, heard etc.
It is what you don’t see, can’t touch, can’t hear with the ears, the scent you can’t smell, the untasted taste that buoy you. Food is food, for instance. Broccoli is green. You don’t hear its vibration, and yet it is broccoli’s vibration that nourishes you. Underlying all the physical is the spiritual. You are a sensate spiritual Being. You don’t even know your own vibration. You can know it is rising. You must know your vibration is rising higher. The higher a vibration, the lighter it is. You are a high note growing to a higher note.
The essence of you is already lighter than air. Within the acorn lies a whole tree. It cannot be seen. It is empty. A form of consciousness is transmitted. Which is mightier, the acorn or the tree? The tree and the acorn both serve, and yet the physical is not greater than the spiritual essence.
The spiritual aspect is not a far-flung idea. The spiritual isn’t something far away. The spiritual is more than an idea. It is Reality. You are spirit. You are more spirit than anything else. Spirit is love that has nothing to do with the physical, and yet the bounded physical houses unbounded love. It contains it. Every physical being on Earth is a container of love. Every physical being on Earth is really and truly a spiritual Being. You are. Believe Me. You are a spiritual Being. You cannot be less.
