THE SPIRIT




                       The Spirit on the other hand is a separate entity.

               The spirit is a component of God. It is of God but not

               God. In human terms it could be analogised as a molecule

               of  the  composition  of  spirit,  the  composition  that  is

               called  God.  As  in  the  body,  each  molecule  has  a
               particular and definite function, so too with God, each


               molecule has a particular and definite function.
                       This spirit that is included in the human being is

               immortal;  always  was  and  always  will  be.  It  is  the

               animator of the human form and connected to the human

               form through the mind. The spirit that  is part of the

               human being is not the total individual spirit that is a

               component of God; it is a component of the individual

               spirit. Humankind cannot have an acceptable concept of

               what God is or how vast God is. Humankind cannot

               have  an  acceptable  concept  of  how  many  individual

               spirit components make up God nor have an idea of how
