Materialism or spirituality. It is the crux of human life. How materialistic or how spiritual we are tends to produce effects in how we behave towards ourselves, and others, and God. If we ignore the spiritual things in life, or rather, the holy spiritual things (there are unholy spiritual things, and these are best avoided), we are left with the materialistic naturally human tendencies, which lead to fits sudden jealousy, dishonesty, and ultimately harm to those we should not harm, our truest neighbours and friends, those we should love. On the other hand, there is a whole level of human experience we easily miss out on when we are materialistic. Truth is at the heart of it. It connects spiritually minded people at a certain level, similar to how we dream. Indeed we can be most conscious of it in our dreams, or daydreams, when the materialistic ways of thinking, and human nature urges, and baser feelings, are less active. Yet to live materialistically is to allow the spiritual to stay dormant, and even to effectively die, ignored, forgotten, so that we might not believe it even exists, and deny any evidence of its existence in others too. But it does exist, and some have fostered its existence without falling into the pitfalls of unholy spirituality or abuses. True spiritual life is there between the material and the abusive. It is based on spiritual aspects of deep awareness which is not false, nor based on abuses and mind alterations, but true and heaven-given. It reaches its ultimate development in the most charitable of love, and in purest kindness, which highest heaven honours, even though it is typically hidden from public awareness and social credit. The greatest boost to this spiritual life is the message of the cross death and the resurrection of the Christ, Jesus, and the gift from God of the Holy Spirit to those who believe it. This resurrects that dormant spirit of truth. It fosters a community of shared awareness of this truthful spirit and its power to make behaviour more noble and holy. This community has Jesus as its head, its household master, connecting all both individually and together to God and His heavenly domain. This leads to a new kind of worship, which is actually very ancient, and which is the kind of worship God requires, in spirit and truth, rooted in no place or holy site, but irrespective of location on earth.
