Many people seem to get hung up about the concept of Spirit. How I conceive it is quite simple but may be different to your view. Mine is this – I am a spirit, I have a mind and I live in a body. From my viewpoint, my spirit is eternal, was placed into my body or connected to my body at the time of conception. Was it alive before that?, I don’t know. My understanding, thus far is that my spirit was created by God and therefore is part of God. I am not God, I am a creation of the Creator. I don’t worship my spirit, I worship God. Having come from God, I have the nature of God. As I spend time in God’s presence I become more like Him. When I was growing up I was told many a time to be careful with whom I mix. Chose your friends carefully because as you spend time with them, you pick up their habits and so become like them. Spending time in meditation, being still before God, helps you get to recognize His ways. As I dwell on the things of God, I recognize Him more easily in everyday life. I become more like Him.

About abundance tree
Have had a deep yearning for spiritual things since a child. I have always found understanding spiritual concepts and teachings easy to grasp- as if they come naturally to me. My desire is to impart my spiritual knowledge onto others so that they can benefit from the wisdom of the ages as I have.
Yes, the leaves of one side of The Great Tree can view freely a whole different world from that of the leaves of the other side! They somehow realize internally that the view is not the thing itself. The word "miracle" has "mira" = "to look at, to wonder at" as its Latin root. The only thing real is the Life inherent within the Great Tree and all its members. Everything else is a breeze, a wind, a storm, a noise, or stillness.
