Thank you so much for sharing your meditations and insight!

The Hebrew word neshama means breath, wind and most especially, spirit. The same concept is carried forward in the Greek, in John 3:

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. - John 3:6-8

The Greek word for wind and Spirit in the last sentence is pneuma.

[ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not; that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. ]

What does man does do?.. he starts marveling... making the practical mysterious and marvelous.. When the process is quite simple.. practical.. knowable.. and completely personal and spiritual.. Must be what happens when man trys to figure "this out" with his brain, his qualia ridden brain.. his intellect..

Some are into a 2nd reality, others are into the/a 1st reality, but I say ZERO reality is where we need to be.. to aspire to.. Because ZERO reality transcends human reality.. into spiritual reality.. I would be satisfied somewhat with 0.5 reality myself.. and may be there now.. Yeah I am a bit nutz.. Who can say that they are not.?.. Except the marvelers..
