I know most of us have heard this expression before. But I wonder if we have seriously thought about its implications. The important element is "point of reference" or more precisely "point of origin." If we were or continually are spiritual beings experiencing a human lifetime, then it implies that "who we really are" are spiritual beings in origin.
Therefore, my human experience as Bill is an extension or an aspect of my spiritual self. This assumption or conclusion raises some interesting questions. Like "How many times do I get to have human experiences." Probably only once as Bill. But what about others human experiences as Chad, Mutiu, Chang, or Alexi? And who decides these other human experiences? Do I know, in advance, who I will be, from the spiritual point of reference; after all progressive time does not exist in the spiritual realm!
Another interesting question is, "Can I have simultaneous human experiences as Bill and Chad? If so, would there be a strong attraction between Bill and Chad, no matter where they were born or raised. Would the attraction be so strong, that we would inevitably find each other on planet Earth?
A variation of the scenario above is, "If my spiritual vibration is very close or identical to another spiritual being, what are the implications if we decide to have human experiences simultaneously! The former is a Soul Mate and the latter is a Twin Soul. Would we decide to become human beings together, before being born? Would we remember after becoming human beings? Would our human lives be inextricably tied? No matter what the specific form the drama might take? Marriage, divorce, close friends, business partners, sisters, brothers, etc.
All interesting questions! But they all arise from the basic quotation most of us use quite often and declare makes sense--We are spiritual beings having a human experience! Are we really?
I am interested in your thoughts,
Bill
