'U Can't Touch This"

The soundtrack:


Let's talk....

Today's word is a phrase - 'U can't touch this'
It was popularized by M. C. Hammer in the 90's. but it holds a truth that goes far beyond what he intended.

When applied to our spirit, it helps us recognize who we really are. None of our true self can be touched. When we look in a mirror all that we see is an image of our bodies - not an image of our spirits.

This song, taken in a spiritual sense, reminds us to separate our flesh from our spirit. It reminds us that there is much more to us than the eye can see, or the hand can touch.

We provide for our flesh daily - and not just once a day, but continually all day long. If we are hungry - we eat, cold - we find heat, thirsty - we find drink, sleepy - we sleep, and on and on providing the things our flesh requires.

We provide for our souls daily - and not just once a day, but all day long. If we are bored - we find entertainment, ignorant - we gain knowledge, feeling creative - we seek the arts, and on and on providing the things our souls require.

Ah, but the spirit? This truest part of us (our spirits) many of us provide for only in bursts and spurts, not daily and hardly all day long. Sometimes our spirits are only fed for a couple of hours on Sunday morning.
And we wonder why we feel restless and weak!

Clothes will never clothe my spirit, an earthly mansion can never house it, physical food will never feed it, earthly pleasure will never give it joy.

My spirit?

'U can't touch this!'

We'll talk....
