And that is because of the separateness. This feeling therefore is spot on and if we feel it we activate the fact that we wish, long for, want a better/closer relationship with the Spirit.
I agree!
There are times when we can't feel Spirit, in a joyful sense. As such, then there seems, at least to me, no point in exisitence if one cannot FEEL connected to Spirit inside. The longing is enough to get one activated to make important changes, which brings them closer to Spirit, even if they ARE Spirit, it matters not what one says or even thinks, all that matters is what one FEELS.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this is true in case of Spirit. Absence of that sense of presence in us, makes us seek that. The journey is transformational...its meant to happen this way. Sadness, as you say, is a catalyst.
