There are many spirits other than those of man. Have you ever been on a mountain top or stood alone in the majesty of a sequoia forest? Have you loved an animal or felt the warmth of “home” from a house?
As you enjoy rapport with a pet, that love is as real as the love you feel from a fellow human. Does that pet have a spirit too? Yes, its spirit is in the intangible whispering of its innate being as with an individual persona. It has the universal Sub C of its species, but also the Consciousness of itself as an individual. It can love a human with its C spirit. After its demise, its spirit lives on. As your immortal soul lives in Eternity, by using your “will” you can make contact with any goodly spirit that ever existed. This includes your loving pet. Through you, your pet lives eternally.
All beauty, warmth, and love that you have ever experienced are available to you. It exists in Spirit form and will not pass away with the end of time. It becomes part of the River of Knowledge and is stored in the Tree of Eternal Life. When our soul and spirit merge in Eternity, we can bring up and enjoy anything we desire as it is all there and stored in the spirit world.
Inanimate objects
What about houses, mountains, furniture, growing and constructed things? How do they get spirits?
Mountains are exposed to the elements of nature, the winds and rains and sunshine. They are admired by man and loved by animals. Men find themselves closer to God in such majesty and worship the whisper of God they feel there. As they perceive the view around them, the feeling of ecstasy evolves. This creates a spirit in the mountains over the centuries.
Houses can become homes from the warmth and love expended on them and in them. All the emotions and activities within a house adhere to it and it develops its own personal spirit. Some houses never become homes or worse. When bad things happen in a house, cave, or other enclosed areas where life occurs, there are negative imprints left there. Sometimes the imprint is so strong that the spirit there can be felt and picked up by perceptive people. Houses have a neutral spirit until something longstanding or outstanding occurs.
Growing things have a small spirit usually (unless you talk of the giant Redwoods). But plants too can love and be loved; a prime requisite for a spirit to develop. The large old trees have developed such a strong spirit that it can be clearly felt when you stand among them. It takes Man’s emotion to put a spirit in something.
