Spirit of Spirits

This post draws on aspects of God.

"God is a spirit". He is the creating force of the creation, all things that exist are animated by the currency of his power.

Just as energy is never created nor destroyed by our scientific understanding, God is also eternal, and his creative force moves on through all created things that were, are, and will be.

The material world explains this with the concept of time. 'Now' is the present expression of the creative force. The past is our memory of creation's old material form and interaction. The future is the form to be, and it's interactions. This illustrates the eternal nature of God, but it is not the entirety of God himself; it is only what can be derived by studying the material creation we participate in.

God is an intelligent spiritual being. We can verify this by looking at the created objects of the creation.

Look at a tree and the way it grows up and out, fulfilling a coercive pattern that it must. Look at the human body, it does the same.

There is hardly any material creation that is not indicative of an intelligent spiritual development.

God is called the spirit of spirits in Christian literature. In order to understand this, lets look at something that has spiritually manifested into being, such as the tree and it's fruit. Where do they get their momentum to grow into their form?

We are are persuaded to think "the seed",the "gene", or the "rain, sunlight, dirt etc." But when we separate any of the parts from the whole we miss the mark.Man must combine all his discoveries to see that the factors, (rain, dirt, co2, sunlight, seed, gene, etc.) work together. And the origin of each contributing factor have their own origins and factors, but they are all in the movement, being spirits of the great spirit of life

This is why God traditionally holds the description "The spirit of spirits"
