The Veil (2) Spiritual

A few weeks ago, I read a book called The Veil by Blake Healy. In the last chapter of the book, Blake gives some guidance to Christians who want to see the spiritual realms more clearly. This chapter is very good. He explains why we should all expect to see more clearly.

The spirit realm may seem like some distant ethereal plane that only affects our side of things in the form of a warm tingling sensation during worship, but the truth is it never leaves you and you never leave it. You may not be aware of it, but you exist in the spirit realm just as much as you exist in the physical. You are one hundred percent there and one hundred percent here. Since the circumstance in our physical lives are usual more apparent than those in our spiritual life, we are often distracted from our spiritual existence. That does not mean we are there any less. In fact, we are constantly affecting the spiritual atmosphere around us with our thoughts, actions, and mindsets. Human beings, more so than any other creature on the planet, have an immense capacity for affecting their environment. This is also true of the spiritual environment.

You recognise whatever you see in the spirit. Though you may not fully understand it, there is a familiarity that comes when you see. Perhaps this is because, though we spend most of our attention on the physical realm, we exist in the spirit realm every minute of every day.

Since our spiritual senses are capable of being much more finely tuned than our physical ones, it stood to reason that anyone should be able to get a decent ideal of their spiritual surroundings.

His most useful piece of advice is too talk to God about everything.

Understanding what everything was usually came with seeing it, understanding why it was there required dialogue with God.

Everything we think and see should be done while in conversation with God.
