“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
This quote perfectly describes my outlook on life. It pairs seamlessly with my physical reality, reminding me that my spirit is the essence of who I am, and my body is the vessel through which I experience the world.
I see life through my eyes, as if something greater is peering through me, observing, following, and learning. My eyes allow me to witness, while my body allows me to feel every force I encounter. Each moment is an experience — one I observe with my vision and one I feel deeply through my body’s sensations. It is conscious awareness, a spirit immersed in a bodily journey.
I believe my spirit has entered this earthly experience to understand it, and the only way that could happen is through the physical body. The challenges of life — the hardships, the physical pain, the mental and emotional upheavals — weigh heavily upon the body. Yet, it is the spirit that absorbs their impact, transforming them into wisdom.
One day, when I leave this earth, I know that none of these burdens will be felt physically anymore. The pain, the suffering, the heaviness will fall away. What remains is the memory — not as torment, but as knowledge. The spirit carries forward the lessons learned, the understanding gained, and the wisdom earned through the human experience.
This is how I see life: as a continual becoming, a movement toward wholeness. My spirit learns through the body, and together they weave the story of my existence — a journey of awareness, growth, and transformation.
Closing Reflection
In the end, I believe the human experience is the sacred classroom of the soul. Every joy, every sorrow, every trial is a lesson etched into spirit. When the body is gone, the wisdom remains — pure, luminous, and eternal. That is the gift of being a spiritual being living through the human experience!
Wisdom in that insight,,,
Yes!
