Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We are not a human being having a spiritual experience.
We are a spiritual being having a human experience.
Deep within the recesses of our being is a spirituality longing for expression and understanding. We begin with awareness of this longing, then we use it to express all that is human about us, so that in this the expression of spirituality can be found and polished.
We are as a diamond in the rough, with so many facets that require our attention in life. Each experience allows us to polish the facet to express the light of spirituality that is most valid to the experience. Spirituality is always an option to our growth of being.
Spirituality is not religion. Nor is spirituality contained in a single tomb or book. Spirituality is the free expression of the spirit within. The spirit is a duplicate of our material body, but with the express purpose of learning all that is spiritual in all life's experiences.
Like all talents, abilities and skills the spirit can and is exercised by our thoughts. We know we are spirit and we express this in all our experiences and we grow in spirituality. When we ignore who we are as a spirit and live only in the material body of senses, emotions, etc. we are not expressing all the 'cosmic dances of energies' that life offers in all its experiences.
