Perceptions About Life
         The life, experience and development of a man, as it should be, is depicted in the drawing below. The spiritual takes precedence over the physical and mental aspects of life. Besides, most of our attention should be given to the spiritual; attention to the mental; and lesser attention to the physical; especially because, it is the spiritual that determines the physical and mental.


         That is why when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, they were living a life that was entirely spiritual: a bright and glorious life. That is also the reason why Jesus said, “Come to me you who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest; for my yoke is easy and my burden is light……….” Matthew 11:28-30.
         Unfortunately, the world reverses the priority to their own detriment, (see the next diagram) and even sad enough, without knowing it.

         By the reversion, mankind pay more attention to the physical, worldly, aspect of life, to the neglect of the spiritual. The result has been series of falsehood, disappointments, sufferings, untimely death and natural disasters.

Perception At 10% Spiritual Level (Base 1)
         At this spiritual level, people have wrong views about life. The perception is inverted, and things of lesser importance are valued more, while things of greater importance are valued less. The end result is illusion. “Vanity upon vanity; all is vanity,” said King Solomon. It is not that life is full of illusion and vanity. The problem is that people have wrong understanding of life, do the wrong thing, take the wrong approach, and end up achieving nothing.

Perception At 20% Spiritual Level (Base 2)
         People at this level, value the physical and mental, and deny the spiritual aspect of life. Having denied the spiritual aspect, their life is full of hypocrisy. For example:
  1. They believe that there is God. At the same time they tell you that God is spirit, which cannot be seen, heard or touched. What a falsehood!
  2. They accept that communication is a two-way process, from the speaker to the receiver, and with feedback from the receiver to the speaker. At the same time, they deny all forms of feedback from God to man. They claim that such things as prophecy, visions, dream, trance, do not exist. What hypocrisy!
  3. They build churches and claim to lead people to salvation, when in actual fact they are misleading the ignorant public. In spirit, many churches are stagnant.
  4. They are proud to hold and quote Holy Books, but are not ready to practice what the Holy Books say.
  5. They do not do or participate in crime, but they are steadily patronising video producers and actors, who are busy spreading fornication, violence, rape, cultism, robbery, e.t.c “It does not matter. It is ordinary play," people say. They forget that thoughts are like seeds, which become manifest realities in future.
Perception At 30% Spiritual Level (Base 3)
         At this level, people accept the natural order and priority. The spiritual takes precedence over the mental and physical.
         A person at this level is considered to be repentant because he is ready to take spiritual aspect of life into consideration. Having spent years on worldliness, he comes to realize that money or wealth is not everything. He begins to listen to the gospel as better alternatives.
         Having opened up to spiritually, he begins to ask for the interpretation of dreams, visions, prophecy, etc, which things he once waved aside as meaningless.

SPIRITUAL LEVEL
         We live in a world of triple phases: the physical, the mental and the spiritual. Each separate, and yet all merge as one.
         Accordingly, humanity can be classified into three groups: those who are entirely physical in their understanding and proceedings, those who are mainly mental in their outlook; and the very few that are quite spiritual.
         The worldly people think that it is only the physical aspect of life that is real. That is why so many are after the things of the worldly (money, wealth, honor, fame, etc). That explains why youths and graduates hurry into business to make money. Generally, people deny the spiritual, behaving as if the spiritual does not exit.
         Those who are mentally disposed value education, and say that it is the best investment and the best ligancy to a child. They use logic (the wisdom of serpent) to defend their stand. However well you try to convince them of the spiritual, they find reasons to believe the spiritual is not true. They are as wise as a serpent, but not as innocent as a dove. They prefer man-made doctrines and logic to the true teachings.
         The few spiritual ones are those that use logic with caution. They prefer to be wise as a serpent and as innocent as a dove. They not only believe in the spiritual life, they also live it and know that it has precedence over the mental and the physical. Truly, only very few are spiritually awake.
