Can We Teach an Experience?

We cannot teach an experience. We have to experience it. Looking further in the word experience, we see that it derives from the Latin word experiri, meaning to try. So it is something that requires understanding at a very personal level. So much so is the great human experience. My experience of life as a human being will never be the same as anyone else. Even though there will be similarities, circumstances, and events, my experience will always be mine. I may be able to talk or write about it or even teach my understanding of it as many spiritual teachers and masters have done. However, it will never be yours.

We are Spirit having an experience on the human plane.

 

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

Popularized by the late Wayne Dyer, the above quote expressed a lot about how we define and live our life. It brings about the understanding that life here does not define us. As a Spiritual being, a spark of the source creator of all; we agreed to come to this plane of existence. We chose this specific time to experience this human reality in all its nuances, flavors, and even controversies. To effusively immerse in all the senses, emotions, and other things that only humans can relate to. To fully commit to our soul purpose, we have to experience life. We have to try it. Get the feel of it, and relate it to our level of understanding and feeling. It is something that we cannot delegate to others or other authorities to perform for us. Life as a human is a lesson for the soul. How we learn from life is by experiencing it.

We were taught wrong!

I believe we miss an important aspect in the teaching of the great master before us. It is not that they came to teach us how to experience life but to be and live life the way we are divinely inspired. They were there to give us an example of what happens when we make our own choices. Choices coherent, in harmony with divine cosmic laws. Their teachings were the personification of their: self, truth, and conscious awareness. Whatever self may be for you. Whatever is your level of awareness, uses their guidance, and it will help you have a more meaningful life. Unfortunately, we humans had made religions out of their teaching. We are here to play our role in the present, and the role we play, depending on how well we play it, will shine the light for others to follow, not us, but the path that we are lighting up. A path to a higher expansion of the soul. As the soul expands, the ego will evolve and dissolves duality and judgment. Then, we will be able to see life in this dimension from a different perspective. There is no right or wrong. We are all correct in what we see and interpret as we are all looking at LIFE from a unique vantage point.
