It’s so close to what we designate as spirit, for all spirit is personal. All spirit is part of a living personal being. There is no impersonal spirit abroad in the universe, or in all of creation for that matter. Especially for a human being, spirit and life are so identical, so inseparable. They’re both so unfathomable.

As your Urantia Book has taught you, no matter how deeply and comprehensively you are able to get a hold on all the mechanics of life--all the physical manifestations of it, it remains allusive for its very origin is spirit--Mother Spirit, the Life Carriers, the agents of the Ancients of Days. It’s so much a part of you, and you are so much it that it’s so easily overlooked, disregarded, and even, unfortunately, terribly disrespected--especially with respect to these other human beings. Yet the deep respect, the honoring and the acknowledgement of life: it all begins within you. We love to tease you with the notion that from the standpoint of consciousness--your self-awareness--you’re not even keeping your own heart beating. Here they come, one after another. And when they cease, in what is almost an instantaneous moment for you personally, you find yourself alive again in a transformed reality.

We love to show you how the intrinsic nature of spirit is creativity. We love to put those two together almost inseparably— creative spirit. For spirit is that part of total reality, part of personal beings, part of you that can originate something right from you, right from your own personality. In this you are truly most like our Father. It is his ultimate nature of creativity that he shares with you. And this spirit is part of you. It is what the Eternal Son, in a sense, attaches to our personality so that it’s an intrinsic function of ours.
