LEARN TO READ USING YOUR HEART AND MIND

Sir,
 
An Éclair according to Oxford dictionary is ‘a long thin cake for one person, made of light pastry, filled with cream and usually with chocolate on top’. I can imagine my other me salivating over these delicacies. It is a cake structured in layers with the cream covering on top. On a serious note imagine a human being structure and imagine the structure of an éclair cake.

I understand that a human being is a trinity, which means our physical body is composed of three human components (physical, spiritual and the soul). Human beings live in the physical realm and the spirit lives in the spiritual realm. The physical realm is the realm where all the five senses are at use (sense of touch, smell, hearing, sight and taste). In this realm everything is physical and can be touched and seen, while in the spiritual realm all things are invisible. This is where the verse in 2 Corinthians 5:7 applies, which says; “For we walk by faith and not by sight.” Where things get to be done by the power that is found in words, because the spiritual realm may also be considered as a storeroom for the physical realm, reference: Proverbs 13:2; “From the fruit of his mouth a man eats what is good. Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life. The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may turn from the snares of death.” Proverbs 16:2 says; “All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit.”

One is already asking himself/herself how to utilise both the spirit and soul in decoding information. It is a process that gets perfected with much practice, you learn to read as the author, take different levels of readership (be different readers of different life levels), read as one with the ability to edit as well as read as though it was a conversation. If it’s possible read as though God was directly speaking to you in a face to face situation (refers to instances of the Bible and spiritual books.) It is more of a communications practice than a spiritual practice but in either way one gets to understand what the author intended to say. As previously stated it’s a process just like our journey which is best travelled one step at a time, it’s a long way ahead, hold on.
