Spirit comes from the Latin word spiritus, which means breath. Soul also means essentially the same thing. Not only do you find the connection between such words in Indo European languges, but also in the Semitic ones as well. The Hebrew word ruach literally means “air in motion,” and is used to refer to “God” as an animating breath or wind. This word is directly related to the Arabic rūḥ.
Wikipedia covers the etymology fairly well.
The Bible is chock full of references to spirit being synonymous with breath.
Jesus crying out with a loud voice said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit’ and having said this, he breathed his last.” (Luke 23:46).
Without breath, we do not have life. With reduced breath, we have a diminished spirit. This is obvious.
I have been covering the topic of breath for some time now.
Good breathing is absolutely essential for proper brain functioning.
This has been known for countless millennia, but it seems people have forgotten the importance of spirit.
So what do masks really do? Do they protect us or do they smother our spirit? If we consider the divine spark within us to be like a flame, as is often used as a metaphor, then the only way to keep the flame burning brightly is to constantly supply it with oxygen. If you cover a candle in a jar with a lid, then that flame will quickly be extinguished.
Because the masks are only restricting the flow of oxygen, most people are just burning less brightly right now. They do not have as much spirit. This is exactly what the “people” who have orchestrated “The Great Reset” want, as it makes people much more compliant and docile.
So much of fighting (MMA, BJJ, Sambo, etc) is about restricting the amount of oxygen or oxygenated blood to the brain via chokes. You cannot adequately resist an attacker who has cut off your supply of oxygen. Even if you do not completely go out, your thinking abilities will be severely diminished. It is like people are willingly putting themselves in a loose choke hold every time they put on a mask.
An LA country mayor has said that anyone refusing to wear a mask should be treated as a terrorist. Our world is completely inverted. Being able to breath freely is a basic human right and anyone trying to smother our spirits should be considered an enemy of the people and treated as a real terrorist.
Breathe freely!
