We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.*
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Research shows that a person’s past does not drive or dictate their actions and behaviours. Rather we are pulled forward by our future.**
Ben Hardy
Here are life-dispositions humans are capable of choosing:
We can explore existence as a spiritual being, and,
We can recce the future rather than dredge the past –
The two interconnect, for as we reflect on what we are capable of being –
Loving, joyful, peaceable, patient, kind, gentle … –
We fuel our imaginations for what this may look like
in the future of tomorrow or next month or a year from now,
And then,
We draw these into today, finding
small ways, at first, to embody them for
someone, somewhere.
