“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Teilhard had a profound effect of me as a college student, being required reading in a college theology class called The God Man Christian Experience. Not the Old Testament class or the professor I expected. I was being forced to think and see things in new ways and I wasn’t ready to let go of the old ones. Let’s just say I was not pleased.
But that class ended up being life changing for me. It laid a foundation to help me find way to where I am now on my spiritual journey even though there were a few detours. And it all began with the words, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
We never know who the wayshowers in our life will be or when and how they will show up. Let’s be open to their appearance and willing to follow.
