A Spiritual Being Having a Human Experience


A Spiritual Being Having a Human Experience

I find myself consistently trying to find answers to the human chaos going on around me. Why does war happen? Why are terrorists killing innocent people? Why does cancer kill loving people? Why are babies born only to die early of some unforeseen disease or some heinous crime? Why do tsunamis happen?

I’m sure these are all questions that we’ve all asked ourselves, and more importantly, God. But what if the answer isn’t in asking the questions, “Why the disease?” What if the question should be: “Why a human body to learn our spiritual lessons?”

What if the answer is that the human experience is just the movie we are watching? The actual experience is the spiritual acumen we gain while watching our own personal panoramic view of life going on before us. When you think about it, everyone has his/her own movie camera they see through: their eyes. Each of us are directors of our own life and the film running through our heads.

Some choose to edit it, others change the script, but some—maybe the smartest ones—watch with amazement at the metaphors life brings through our human instincts and shortcomings.

Each of us sees the world from our point of view only. You can be compassionate and imagine someone else’s point of view, but you can’t see it through the pain, the past, and the trauma of the eyes of one body and mind you have never inhabited. Perhaps, the world and the humans in it are one huge lesson for the experience that is housed in this human body. If that were true, then it would make a lot more sense about all the things we see around us.

And what makes this theory even more intriguing is that we are all experiencing it at the same time. There are some spiritual theories of afterlife, which believe that we come to this earth in spiritual clusters. Each of us has chosen ahead of time a purpose and a character to play out in this lifetime within this smaller cluster, and perhaps in conjunction with larger clusters of spirit.

This life you are going to be my husband. I’ll be your mother this time, because you were my child in the last life. I watched you die from a deadly disease last life. Let me come back as the doctor who saves you. We’ll then fall in love and be married.

What if the spiritual clusters are like a family of spirits that combined is really one larger, more powerful spirit ready to rule one of the many planets uninhabited in the myriad of universes continuing to be created by an unlimited God? It’s a possibility you can’t discount. Why are there so many planets? Why are the angels watching us and making sure we learn our lessons? Why are they in awe of spirits dressed as humans?

Maybe spirits having a human body have a special calling. Maybe we are all learning amazing lessons to move to a higher place of consciousness in a vast array of heavenly bodies. Who really knows?

The answers to these questions and the idea of predestination are also one of the many ways humans find ways of living in the chaos we call life. This is just another theory that can’t be proven or denied. But… it certainly gives me pause.
