 We develop our understanding of spiritual realities by looking at the formation of sentences and how they communicate meaning. We also examine our own struggles with anxiety and sin.The way we understand reality affects how we feel in different situations and around different people. If we feel comfortable and less threatened, it is because we have a good understanding of what is going on around us.Now that we are discussing the Spirit, let's look at how His presence comfort us and act as a great counselor.His attributes are our experience. That is, He is where His fruit is displayed, and He is where He is more present in His influence of what we feel and know to be in our influenced disposition. He speaks as being effective in changing our level of reality in His eternal weight as we feel led and moved up to experience in this eternal emanation of God's presence.He points us to the higher rock, which is beyond our current ability to experience. The higher rock is the level of experience beyond our current abilities to achieve. Where the Spirit is, there is freedom. If the presence of the Spirit is a divine influence, then this world will release its tension, and there will be a lifting of the weight of this world.The release referred to here is a sense of pleasure derived from His present power to influence our souls and help us reach a new level of communication with Him. I am influenced by my soul in some way; it is my presence in this world and the influence of those around me that affects me.It is my view that the powers that enter into my senses are what weigh down my soul and make it betray me. The fleshly voice of condemnation, the pull of many different pleasures, and the low view of things that are present around me only serve to attach me to objects that have no relation to bringing me closer to a higher state. This is my normal disposition. However, the soul is designed to experience the pleasure of the Spirits influence, which we are made to find comfort in. We have no rational reason to find any comfort in pleasure, but it is a presence that is in our own mind. We cannot find real comfort in ourselves.The presence of the soul is influenced by the power of the Spirit. This is because when we are made like a child, our soul becomes a satisfied child within us. The Spirit's influence is thus drawing us, moving us, molding us and reviving us so that we are led out finding comfort in other pleasures.Now then, there is a big change in being revived. This change is more real than a physical attachment. We feel the weight of the pleasures of the presence of things and people in knowing the kind of change we experience in His divine wooing.Now then, our waiting for something, our attachment to the moment, experiences the turning from these general moods of satisfaction and the searching for a new presence. This is the new influence in raising the soul to new heights. Here is this most intimate reality, the secret place of the soul's joys. So the Spirit becomes the chief communicator of all of the soul's new discoveries. The attachment to the Spirit's secret workings are the silent communication that the soul rises within. Here then is the revived fire that one experiences.
