What is spirit?
Spirit is consciousness.
Consciousness does not depend on the physical body;
it is the physical body that depends upon consciousness.
Consciousness survives physical death.
Spirit survives physical death.
Consciousness survives physical death.

Yes, we live in a material world,
but we also live in a spiritual world,
and a magical one.
Finally, we live in a world
of consciousness
and light.
In my last blog entry, I included this same text, along with a different, much higher-contrast (and therefore more abstract, less revealing) version of the photograph above. When I posted the entry to social media, I tagged it #nsfw. But someone commented that it was not an "nsfw" post at all. So I would like to ask:
1) Was the original post "nsfw?"
2) Is this post "nsfw?"
3) Which version do you prefer?
Thanks for your input.
