What is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Everything in life has both a physical and a spiritual side. Whatever you can touch has both a physical and a spiritual side to it. The fascinating thing about things, people or situations having a physical and a spiritual side is that the physical side can never exist without the spiritual part of it.
The quoted text is a scripture verse by Apostle Paul to the Hebrews. He summed it up perfectly when he wrote that “What is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Nothing in this reality was made of anything visible at its original conception. Everything in this reality is an effect and the cause has always been spiritual.
Your success, failures, heartaches, disappointment, happiness, compassion, inventions, health, illnesses creativity, anger, determination and e.t.c, all have a spiritual origin.
If everything in this reality has a spiritual origin, the first question you and I must answer is: “What is spiritual?”

What Is Spiritual?
In my article titled: The Spirit Is Everything, I talked about how the spirit is everything and is in everything, but I didn’t explain properly what is spirit is in the context of everything being spiritual.
The generally accepted definition of spiritual is that it is something that encompasses our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and desires.
I define “spiritual” as anything which can be noticed by the individual without being seen. This includes speech, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, desires, spirits, angels and demons.
When you’re talking, you’re fully aware that you are taking but you cannot see your speech. This same applies to when you have a thought about something or you have a feeling towards someone or something. You are aware that these things exist but you can neither touch them or see them. So, your thoughts, words and feelings are all spiritual things.
Your beliefs, desires, prejudices, discriminations and all your traits which are invisible to the naked eyes are all spiritual things. You are fully aware of there existence, yet not once have you seen them with your human eyes.
The Spiritual Side Of Things
Everything has a spiritual side, there is no exception. The car you are driving was first conceived in the mind, which is a spiritual thing. The same goes for your occupation, friendships, education, health, illnesses and everything else you have or will ever have.
The spiritual side is the originating point of everything in your experience. If you lack money, you should examine the content of your thought regarding money.
Your physical experience will always reflect what is going on in your spiritual/invisible side. The two greatest things that affect your whole reality are your thoughts and words, and as I have already made clear previously, these two things are spiritual.
I can’t say this enough: Thoughts are things and your words will either help or destroy you. So, discipline your thoughts and words because these two things are the things controlling your spiritual side, which in turn manifest in your physical reality.
Your success and failure in this life are completely dependent on how well you manage your spiritual side.
If you’re unhealthy, poor, stagnant in life, angry, sad, depressed, frustrated or suffering from any other ills of life, then look no further than inside of yourself for the solution.
The ill-health, empty bank balance, failed relationships, disappointment and more, are all effects of your thoughts and words.
Those thoughts you run through your mind are not some innocent thoughts that will just go away. They must fulfil that script you’ve written through your careless imagining. The same goes for your words. You must be careful about what you say about yourself and other people.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned. Matthew 12:37 KJV.
So, the spiritual side of things are the thoughts, words and feelings connected to that particular thing or experience. If you take care of the spiritual side of your troubles, the physical side MUST align itself with the transformation that has taken place in the spiritual side. The physical side of anything is only a reflection of what’s going on in the spiritual side of that thing.
Conclusion
The spirit of a thing is that thing. Everything in this reality has a spiritual side and this where you should focus your energy on to achieve the transformation you desire.
Whatever you are lacking, ask yourself this question: What is going on in the spiritual side of this thing am lacking?
If you lack money, the spiritual side of that financial lack usually has something to do with you having a negative belief about money. Such as a belief of not-deserving of wealth, a belief that money is evil, a belief that money imparts too much responsibility which you do not want or an unconscious belief that most rich people are evil and you don’t want to be seen as evil and e.t.c.
Most illness and ill-health are caused by disharmony in the mind of the individual. This is why every illness is caused by disease. A disease is another way of saying “a body or an individual is not at ease”, in other words, the person is in disharmony.
Just from the two examples of financial lack and ill health, you can clearly see that the spiritual side is where all the power lies. This is where you should put all your effort to get the result you desire.
When you focus on the spiritual side of things in your life, you will quickly realise two truths, these are (1) that transforming your life for the better requires only one person and that person is you and (2) that you can transform your life for the better very fast.
Thanks for reading and have a blessed day.
