Spiritual spheres in the physical world
The spirit world is not only a world that we enter after death of the physical body, it's also all around us all the time. In fact, as our situations change we always move from sphere to sphere. A sphere in a spiritual sense is like a cloud of feelings and thoughts that surrounds us. Different spiritual spheres have different levels of awareness. While being in one spiritual environment you can fe
el God, in other spheres you only feel hatred.
One of the aspects of spiritual growth is that we learn to recognize these various spheres as we enter these, move through them and leave again. This can happen several times a day, but, for example, when you are a member of a political party or a church, it may be that you are continuously affected by the feelings and ways of thinking that go around in such an environment.
People often are dominated by the spheres they live in. They barely notice how they are influenced and find it difficult to move up to higher spheres of love and compassion.
