Everyone is of the spirit. When we are in spirit we feel an unrelenting sense of joy. When we experience joy in life, we experience ourselves: the spirit.

When we help people experience joy, we are helping them experience themselves, who they really are. What prevents us from being of the spirit is the weight of our thought. “I have rent to pay… I need to shop for groceries… How do I make more money–” Our thoughts help us survive and function, but they also stop us from experiencing who we really are.
