However, because of the stereotype that spirits cannot be seen with the eyes, many people misunderstand invisible concepts and abstract things to be spiritual. They claim to live ‘spiritual lives’, but they ignore matters that are in front of them and disregard the responsibilities they must handle in the body.

Semuon gives this definition, ‘a spirit is a permanent being’. The key point is ‘permanent’. ‘Spiritual life’ refers to a life seeking permanent blessings, not a life which seeks after invisible ideas. Furthermore, a spirit is ‘a being’. ‘Spiritual life’ is about specific interaction between spiritual beings, not abstract concepts.

The core attribute of spirit is ‘connectivity’. Heaven (which is the spiritual world) is not separate from God (who is spirit). Though the Son was begotten from God’s bosom, He is not separate from God. The blessings that God gives are connected to God. God gave us the Holy Spirit. He is not distributed to each person, but He connects each person with God. ‘A spiritual person’ is not someone who has many possessions. He is a person who is connected with God. When this person receives things from God, he always meets eye-to-eye with Him (since God is connected to them).
