We are spiritual beings having a human experience
“Everything inside our bodies that is sensitive and alive is spirit. And we are sensitive in our bodies from head to toe. When body and spirit separate, which we call dying, we are still ourselves, and we are still alive.” (Heavenly Secrets #5883, Emanual Swedenborg)
We are all born and we all will die. And in between we eat and sleep, work and play, dress ourselves, drive in cars, pay bills, mow our lawns, raise children, marry, divorce, fill out paperwork, earn degrees, are hired and fired, on and on… And in the midst of all the physical events our spirits are growing. Our spirits are being shaped. We learn and explore, we open up, we shut down, we experience grief, we experience healing, and hopefully through the many ups and downs of our internal experience we learn to love.
Our human nature and our divine nature are inherently intertwined.
I am pondering today what is happening in my spirit, as I enter into the details and dramas of the day. How is my spirit being shaped and molded? And how perhaps is my spirit expressing itself in this human reality that I am living?
We truly are spiritual beings having a human experience and what a fabulous spiritual playground this earth is! What will today hold?
