It's a truism that Spirit is all around. We're made of and by the creator who is known by a thousand names and remains nameless and unfathomable.

Joseph Campbell said that we cannot comprehend the idea of the creator, we cannot express our connection, and that all we can do is the third-best thing: to attempt to describe our feelings and our thoughts.

Joachim of Flores, a 12^th century Christian mystic, thought that there were three great ages of mankind.  The first was the Age of the Father, which is where God speaks to us and treats us like his children.  This is the stern god of Judaism and the old testament.

The second great age was the age of the Son, where we have an intermediary--Christ and his priests--who can talk to the father and plead our case to earn us forgiveness.

The third great age--the one that he thought was just about to occur--is the age of the Spirit, the Holy Ghost, where we engaged in direct communion with Godhood, without intermediaries and without mis-communication. Like him, I think that time is here.

Again.

And it's not just something we can do. It's what we must do.
