One thing I've tried to avoid is making expressions like 'mine is better than yours' when it comes to discussing spirituality so when you ask what and how I experience spirit it's very hard to prevent sounding argumentative and I apologize if I've come across that way.

I wish there was a short answer to your question but I feel it's important enough to try and be clear in this section of the forums.

No, I don't really see a figure or a person when I talk and spend time connecting spiritually. I see God in people, in the loving acts they perform each day for one another. I imagine having discussions with strong, loving people I've known or read about. Spirit, to me, is not a specific individual but I see it as an arrangement of emotions with love being at its' highest level. When I spend time spiritualizing, I make the most honest assessment of myself possible and I measure the nature of my own acts to what I understand the acts of the purest form of love to be. If I have, or am, acting/feeling in some way which feels to be selfish, I question if the feeling I'm having is really for the highest good of all and I try to correct myself as I go along. I wish to not neglect my own needs, nor the needs of others, nor do I make my own, or the needs of others higher than anyone elses. I try to find a perfect balance where everyones' needs are respected.

Sometimes people will share experiences with me about how they've been treated by others in their lives and I do the same sort of assessment about others actions, non judgmentally, with my goal being to focus and encourage love for self, and each other. To me, to be loving, is the best mental health practice I can imagine. I may fall short of the goal, but I try.
