work, reinforcing the habit, positions of the predominance in yourself of the Spiritual
nature and keeping your Animal nature “on a chain”, the discipline of thoughts. One
must nurture spiritual Love, first of all, inside oneself and not wait for someone to do
you good with it one day. And when a person learns to produce spiritual Love inside
himself, he will learn to understand and spiritually love others.
And people, as a rule, do not want to work on themselves and tame their Animal nature;
figuratively speaking, they do not want to cast out their own “beam” out of their own
eye, but they notice even a “mote” in their partner, always trying to control and
dominate someone. Often, relationships in families are based not on love but on the
selfishness of both spouses. Mutual squabbles and accusations stem from the tyranny of
the Animal nature of both of them. So it turns out that instead of the expected hopes of a
“happy marriage”, there is total disappointment. All this is as old as the hills, and as the
hills not new.
Dust to dust, earth to earth, and spirit to spirit. One Soul to one body, and the main
care should be about the Soul. With the life of the body it comes and with the death
of the body it goes. Everything else are pattern invented by people to justify their
own lives and choices. One should not search for spiritual path in outer life, for it is
inside man, in his feelings, thoughts, words and deeds. This is his path to the crown
– to the spiritual summit, which is the culmination of his life, apogee, the highest
stage and the highest point of his self-perfection.
Anastasia: So, in the spiritual interpretation, wedding is a stage which assumes the
build-up of the deepest feeling of Love, the sense of merging of the Personality with
God, which does not depend on external conditions or environment but is a result of
solely spiritual work of a man on himself, his ability to remain in the state of
predominance of the Spiritual nature. And this applies to both women and men.
I would also like to talk about such Christian sacrament as anointing of the sick
(unction). According to religious ideas, this is basically healing by church, the sacrament
which is administered to a sick person to heal him from the infirmities of spirit and
body, and also to a dying person using oil, that is olive (wood) or other vegetable oil. It
is done at the request of a person or his relatives. It consists of absolution, anointing with
oil and calling grace on the sick person.
