How Spirit Manifests in the Three Realms Searles searles@summerlands.com Wed Oct 13 20:38:05 1999 How Spirit Manifests in the Three Realms*p*Since much of what we attempt to do as Druids involves the three realms of*br*Sky, Sea and Land, as well as the flows of spirit between them, I'd like to*br*begin a discussion of what these flows are, how we can identify with them*br*and what we can do in our own practices to reinforce our awareness of them.*br*To begin the discussion, let me say that I personally see these flows as*br*interactions between the nature of each of the realms on the others as well*br*as upon itself. Some of the people practicing family traditions*br*characterize these interactions as a type of animal spirit or totem, while*br*others see them as spiritual ancestors and deities. To me, the observation*br*and awareness of these flows is a threefold process of body, mind and*br*spirit. These are our instruments of observation, quantification, and*br*qualification. How do you see the ways of spirit within the being that*br*surrounds you, is you and becomes you?*p*Searles*p*
