Intangible

Intangibles are things we cannot physically touch or see; not having a physical presence.  They are elusive and imperceptible by the logical mind.

Love is a great intangible.  We experience it, we feel it, but we can’t touch it, and how love functions is hard to understand by the rational, thinking mind.  ‘Madly in love…’ is a phrase often used to describe the chemistry between two people, yet what does that mean?   The adjective impalpable is a synonym for intangible, meaning…a real feeling that can’t be logically explained, it is elusive and imperceptible by way of reasoning.

“Music is intangible and ephemeral, but it comes from the home world of spirit, and though so fleeting, it is recognized by the spirit as a soul-speech fresh from the celestial realms, an echo from the home whence we are now exited, and therefore it touched a cord in our being, regardless of whether we realize the cause or not.”   ~Max Heindel

Self-confidence, creativity, altruism, feelings of joy, sadness, anger, disappointment, inspiration, passion, zeal, excitement and warmth are some examples of intangible energies.  We feel them with our intuitive, spirit-sensing self, yet they have power and meaning in the personal and social milieu.

Intangibility in sports, for example, are the aspects of a players personality and/or style of playing that cannot be described or defined by statistics such as their leadership and enthusiasm.

Science does not study intangibles.  Although there are social and psychological studies regarding behavior and feelings, they cannot be reduced to a pat, predictable formula in a testing laboratory.  Therefore, our experience of the intangible is relegated to anecdotal  processes.

Intangibility makes up a greatly significant portion of our day to day experience.  We can’t touch or see it, but we feel the impalpable, moment by moment.

“Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible.  No one can take them.  You, and you alone, can give them….”  ~W. Clement Stone

As we move closer to the Spring Equinox, I invite you this week to focus your awareness on the grand world of the intangible.

Blessing!
