The nature of Spirit is personal Spirit is personal, not impersonal. None of that "the force be with you" stuff is relevant here. This is one of the major things we have to understand in today's context. Of course, the personal nature of spirit is seen at its highest and clearest in the Trinitarian nature of God. "God is in himself a sweet society," an old Puritan writer used to say. What personality is, is finally understandable only in the light of the Trinitarian nature of God. God is Spirit. He is personal reality and power—the power that works by thought and choice and evaluation, not a blind force that can be manipulated if you can only find the correct technique.
