I saw it on Oprah last week. It was a family that lost their son in a plane crash, they were all in it, but he died. The mom said this quote.

I like it. We are but souls living inside a shell of a body that God created to cover us. So it makes sense that we are spiritual beings dealing with human occurrences on earth that are produced by things that we as "people" create. Hence, the experiences we have are meant to remind us of who we really are and where we came from.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

It is an interesting outlook

I've seen some people who aren't exactly "spiritual beings."

It is good and somewhat profound...who made the quote though? ('Experience' is the correct spelling) It could put your ideas and reasoning into a whole other plane......
