Articulating the Ineffable

Articulating the invisible, formless energy of life is a challenging task for spiritual philosophers. Despite the difficulty, it is valuable to use words to point to something that is all around us. Metaphors are often used to convey the concept of spirit, such as the animating force in life or the breath of life, which can be felt but not seen directly. Additionally, spirit is described as the energy of all things, transitioning between form and formless, and as the intelligence behind life. Deepening our awareness of spirit can enhance our experience of aliveness and enable us to come alive.
