Question: Are you a spiritual being having a human experience or are you a human being having a spiritual experience!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It is my personal belief that we are all spiritual beings (our core identity) growing and developing through human experience!.

It is also my personal belief that some spirits have stopped growing and are stuck and those are the dark spirits among us whom we need to be very wary of in this world!. They create only devastation and harm to those around them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither !
For spiritual experience one does not have to go out !. For human experience one does not have to go in !. This is where we are all!. We constantly live simultaneously these two experiences!. For many , due this delusion , they do not relialise the spiritual experience they undergo and get totally immesrsed in human experience!. For a few the spiritual experience can come about only by cutting themselves out of the human mileu!.
Both do co exist and await to be recognised !. I believe that I live like that !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Rita I am neither a human "Being" or a "Spiritual being" -- I have yet to acquire what these names signify!. They signify more than what is perceived at first glance!. Most are not humans being, they are more so humans that can not BE!. I want to be a Human Being -- a Human BEING is a complete Man!. A Spiritual Being, now that is something very advanced!.

I would say I am from a Spiritual Being having a human experience!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The grand declarations (mahaa vaakyaas) of the Hindu veda are, "THAT thou art" (thath thwam asi)!.!. from the teacher's point of explanation and "I am He" (Soham) from the realized student's point of experience!.!. So humans are spiritual beings (with divine qualities dormant inside) having human experience!.!.

The japanese meditation of "Hangswa" is said to be the "Soham" reversed (Self Realization Fellowship, Los Angeles also teaches Soham as Hangswa with every breath)!.!.

I do not wish to elaborate on this to less eager people likely to visit the site, but really serious people can get a lot of inspiration from saints leading seekers in this direction!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is the ebb and flow of life!. Human experience references spiritual!. The physical is the empirical foundation!. Each condition mutually reinforces significance of the other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Humans have this idea that it is one or the other!.!.!.Look at it like this!. Maybe one spiritual being is like a human and is having a unhuman experiance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Human being with spiritual experience becomes a spiritual being!.Best wishesWww@QuestionHome@Com
