The example you give me:You have too many quotations. Two posters on RF that I know of refer to Wind as either Spirit IS the Wind and the other Spirit Wind.
In my faith, I say Wind, Sun, Moon, whatever. So, I was curious as to how 1. The Wind can literally be a Spirit and 2. Why call the Wind "Spirit Wind" rather than just Wind. Of course, for both, these are individual preferences according their particular religion; but, I was curious nonetheless.
I couldnt understand how Person 1 put it since it's in another thread, I'd have to dig it out. Person 2 said saying Spirit when is more honory and formal than just saying Wind. Both are not using it as metaphors, poetry, or anything like that. They are literally talking about the Wind.
What I found interesting was a person can say Wind IS a spirit rather than has or posses one. How I define Spirit as a soul of a deceased person and another definition in context the breathe of life is not A element the elements and people are moved by the spirit; the spirit is the engine everything living is the car.
I was response to the example you give me but not the context of "Spirit IS the Wind and the other Spirit Wind" which you've seen by other rf member's post.John believes in a Wind's Soul; he believes that the Wind owns or has a soul.
Jane believes that the Wind has within a Spirit. She calls it The Spirit of the Wind.
How i will response about their post depends on their whole context if you can link their post, or by asking their reason.
My previous post:Without the full statement, you are right, it could mean anything. If I'm understanding you right. If we just said Wind is Spirit are you saying that cannot stand alone.
There is no "Wind is Spirit" in that post of mine, and my response is about the example you give me which is also absent of the statement "Wind is Spirit".John/Jane believes in the Wind.
They believe in the Wind for what?
They believe wind exists?
They believe wind is their friend?
They believe wind will never stop?
It's not sure what they believe in about wind.
John believes in a Wind's Soul or Jane believes that within the wind it has a spirit.
It can be understand as they believes wind's soul/spirit exists.
The words soul and spirit is there because it's the important context describe about their statements, without it, their statements can be interpret into anything.
And in your post:
The example statement which said by John and Jane you give me doesn't say they believe Wind is Spirit/Wind is Soul, they said they believe wind has soul and within wind it has spirit.John believes in a Wind's Soul; he believes that the Wind owns or has a soul.
Jane believes that the Wind has within a Spirit. She calls it The Spirit of the Wind.
These are very poetic. If John and Jane believes that Wind is Spirit/Wind is Soul why not just say wind rather than Wind's Soul or Spirit of the WInd. It sounds nice just like saying Sacred Wind (which I prefer now sence I read it) or Spirit Wind. I'm just curiou because everyone and thing has a Spirit but each person is unique. I am unique. You are. Wind is as well as Sun.
"soul can manifest in the Phenomena of the Wind" Literally? Metaphorically?
Believe wind has soul doesn't necessarily mean wind is soul, just means wind itself has a soul.
Believe Wind is soul can be understand as whole part of wind is equal to soul.
Believe Wind has soul can be understand as part of wind make up of soul.
Does wind as a whole equal to its soul? The example you give me doesn't describe about this.
The first one is "John believes in the Wind. He believes the Wind has a soul."
The second is "Jane believes in the Wind. She believes the Wind possesses a soul"
Anyway, that's not really my point of the OP. I was wondering about the phrase "Wind is Spirit/Spirit is Wind". Unless there is another definition of Spirit I am not aware of, unless the Spirit is In the Wind (it's the Wind's breathe, I guess you can say), I dont see the correlation of how one can be the other.
I'm responding according to your example in post #76.
Maybe you can link the original post you see posted by other rf member, otherwise i have no idea what their (edit: full) actual context is about.
