Question about movements of the spirit

[flofrog]

I don't understand your question, but I can offer a personal thought here.  To work with the spirit is to work indirectly.  One could say that a good teacher not only tells you what to think (information), but teaches you HOW to think skillfully.  So, life on Earth is largely viewed in terms of what you do, but the ways of spirit have to do with HOW you do what you do.  In that sense it's indirect.  It's not about what the action is, but how purely it is performed.  Following that logic, to work on your spirit is to refine your purity of devotion.  

That's one way of looking at it.

I think this is so right on peregrine.

The chaos around us apparently makes the refinement of purity less easy, but in an other indirect way pushes for it. Of course I could be wrong.
