When I first heard that, I thought it was just a cute saying; but then, when I really thought about it I realized what a profound statement it was. First of all, it confirmed that we are essentially Spiritual beings still connected to the All That Is, and that we have actually made a conscious choice to come to this planet and take on a body — for a reason, and I’ll come to that reason in a moment.

It also seems to negate the idea that we are fallen and separate from the All That Is — the Source of All Being. God if you like. On the contrary, I believe we have come here with God’s blessing to learn some important Spiritual lessons and that we shall return home when we are complete and ready to let go of our bodies.
