Life as a spirit
QUESTION: Masters, I am not sure whether this is a silly question or not. As humans we need air, food, water, etc. to exist in a physical body. What do you need to exist as spiritual beings? ~David, UK
ANSWER: First, no question is totally silly, particularly when it gives us a good chuckle! Thank you. Let us just say that human bodies are very labor intensive. You have to feed, bathe, exercise, and love them—sounds almost like a pet, right?
Our essence—container if you wish to compare it to a body—doesn’t have a set form. It expands, contracts, divides, and morphs at will. We can rejoin the Source from which we came, choose to be observant of multiple places at the very same moment, or reenter a human shell for yet another go at learning life lessons in the duality of planet Earth. We can also choose to enter into another life form and follow its requirements. The possibilities are limitless because we, the same as you, have total freedom of choice.
So, let’s see, your question again was how are we sustained? We exist on a very simple substance which inhabits the entirety of existence: unconditional love. Many also refer to it as universal energy, the same substance that healers use to heal, re-balance, and re-energize your human bodies. That is the substance we need, and the driving force is our sentience.
