It has been identified with the transcendent and supernatural, but also with the immanent and natural. It has been associated with the mental and intellectual, but also with bodily feeling and passion. It has been considered the "besouling" or animating principle, but also to be other worldly or beyond life. It is often regarded as of positive moral value, but it can be perverted to evil ends. It is most commonly opposed to the material.... Matter becomes spirit as it flows from the indefinite infinite into the "utterly subtle." -- Liberating Philosophy: An End to the Dichotomy of Spirit and Matter (forgot the author) Anyone can be angry - that is easy.

One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life --Sandra Carey If as adults, walking around on two legs, capable of making independent choices that influence the world, we can identify our mature free will with that of God, then God will have assumed through our conscious ego a new and potent life form. We will have become God's agent, his arm, so to speak, and therefore part of Him. And insofar as we might then through our conscious decisions be able to influence the world according to His will, our lives themselves will become the agents of God's grace. We ourselves will then have become one form of the grace of God, working on His behalf among mankind, creating love where love did not exist before, pulling our fellow creatures up to our own level of awareness, pushing the plane of human evolution forward.... The call to grace is a promotion, a call to a position of higher responsibility and power. To be aware of grace, to personally experience its constant presence, to know one's nearness to God, is to know and continually experience an inner tranquility and peace that few possess. On the other hand, this knowledge and awareness brings with it an enormous responsibility. For to experience one's closeness to God is also to experience the obligation to be God, to be the agent of His power and love. The call to grace is a call to a life of effortful caring, to a life of service and whatever sacrifice seems required. It is a call out of spiritual childhood into adulthood, a call to be a parent unto mankind. --M. Scott Peck
