Most of us are familiar with the idea
that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences; instead, we
are spiritual beings having human experiences. We hear this, and even
though we may experience a resounding yes in our bodies, we may not take
the time to really acknowledge the truth of these statements. Integrating
this idea into how we view ourselves can broaden our sense of who we are
and help us appreciate ourselves as brave spirits on an important mission
to learn and grow here on Earth.
As spiritual beings, we are visitors in
this physical realm. The fact that we came here and lost all memory of
what happened to us before we were born is one of the many reasons that
it takes so much courage for a soul to incarnate on Earth. This is why spiritual
inquiry so often feels like a remembering — because it is. Remembering
that we are spiritual beings is part of the work that we are here on
Earth to do. When we operate from a place of remembering, we tap into the
wisdom that our spirit accumulated even before we stepped into this
lifetime. Remembering who we are can give us the patience to persevere
when we become overwhelmed or frustrated. It can give us the courage to
work through the most daunting challenges and help us trust the ancient
wisdom we carry through our intuition.
We have chosen to be on Earth because
there is something we want to learn that can only happen by inhabiting a
body. Some of us are here to repay a debt, learn about love, or teach
forgiveness. Most of us are here for a combination of reasons. We carry this
information in our souls — all we have to do is remember. As you go
through your journey, try not to forget how brave you are, being here
now. Honor yourself.
