Your Spirit and Surgery

I'm beginning to see the three aspects of our being, our body is easy to see, our soul is I think who we are - our attitude and outlook about our life here on earth that is tied to our body's physical existence in this time and place - and then our spirit who is our true nature and who we really are and that can act independently of our body and soul.  It's our spirit that will endure after our body dies in this life.  I wonder, what would it be like to operate from your spirit instead of being always locked in to and having to always operate from the perspective of only your body and soul?  I wonder if Jesus operated from His Spirit and that’s why He always seemed to know what other people were thinking in their innermost being or spirit.  Can a person actually learn to live from their spirit?  Could you learn to let your body and soul rest, even sleep, while you remain active in your spirit?  I could get a lot of things done spiritually while my body rested.  I wonder if your spirit acts like your agent.  I wonder if you can tell it to do things on your behalf and it must obey and it does so willingly because the two of you are one and he’s always working for your benefit.  I wonder if your spirit is your conscience.  After I starting thinking like this, the very next time I started to do something that might have been questionable or against my character, I got an inkling that maybe I would be doing something against my spirit – doing something that would damage my spirit.  Now, why would I want to hurt myself?  A little while later, I asked my spirit to help me find something I couldn’t see, and before I finished asking, my eyes spotted what I had been looking for.  Amazing!  Has my spirit been just sitting in a corner of my life for 39 years just waiting, slowly going to sleep, but now with the excitement of being a sleeper agent now activated – he bursts onto the scene of my life with knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, energy, quickness, wit, humor, foresight, hindsight, strength, ability, resources, connections…  Rarely have I have someone with so much to offer be in my corner and want to offer it to me.
