Life is a condition, time period, and narrative. It is also a natural force. It is the natural force that gives you life. You have life in you. In other words, you have spirit.
Your spirit gives you life. As long as you have spirit, you live. When you expire, spirit-out, your spirit leaves and you die. Your life ends.
What happens after you die? You disintegrate. Your spirit dissipates into the wind, your body decays into the earth, your psyche departs from your body to the otherworld, and your relationships change.
Since your psyche is no longer spirited, it stops aging and learning. Since it still exists with all of its memories and abilities, your relationships remain, especially your bonds of love. Since it exists disembodied, your relationships with those still embodied are indirect at best.
Your spirit is the agent of your life. It makes you alive rather than not. Its instincts compel you to remain alive. Its emotional responses inspire your mental and physical responses. Its moods color the days of your life-story, and its characteristics inform your identity.
Because your spirit is essential to your life, it is of central concern in Life Therapy.
