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 that is offered to us by 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.
