As a child, teenager and young adult in Guyana, Barbados and then Jamaica; the word spirit or its most popular used form “spirits” meant mainly an invisible evil (negative) force or presence that was always waiting to overcome any form of good that might exist. A presence and force that I lived in fear of until about eight years ago.
So why and when did the change occurred?
I can not say that it happen with a bang but it certainly starting with me being fed up being fearful of something I could not see and had come to fear with a passion. So armed with my resentment for my fear of “Spirits” I set out to investigate my deep belief about "spirit" or "spirits" for myself and confront my fears.
Yes, I had many, of which the Devil was high on my list. Without going into details, I can safely tell you that I no longer live in fear of “the devil” or “spirits” of people who are dead or as I now say “made their transition out of this physical world”.
Today I view the concept of the "Spirit” as the one universal energy force that sustains every thing visible and invisible in this world and Universe as we know it. Put another way I now hold the view that “Spirit is the energy that sustains All things as Life and causes All things to BE (that is - to Exist)”.
Therefore since Spirit causes All things to BE (become manifested or made visible), then it is safe to say that the essence of Spirit will continue to be the essence of anything that it caused to be.
