Autoimmune Disease of the Spirit

Some say that what we believe is what ultimately matters. Some go so far as to say that our faith or lack thereof has eternal consequences.

When I look at myself and everyone else who makes up the world, what I see is this: What we do matters. Our actions matter.

Our actions have consequences. Our actions makes a difference. They affect everyone else that makes up the world. Our actions change the world. Our actions actually create the world. Yes, we, all the living, create this world as we go.

Our spirit is what animates us. It actions us. Because we're spirited, we're alive. We move. We act. We create. We make a difference.

The difference we make either affirms or denies our own and other's spirit. Our actions create a world that either promotes or denies life.

Denying the power of our actions, denying the importance and consequences of our actions, denies the spirit in us that actions us. It denies life. 

Saying that what we believe is what ultimately matters, is a symptom of a spirit-related illness. It's an example of a human illness in which a human's spirit is turned against itself and denies rather than affirms its own life. It's a symptom of the autoimmune disease of the spirit.
