The spiritual-human duality dance creates an inherent sense of tension in our minds. Those who tend to resonate with the ideology of selflessness and letting go of the ego understand that a life centered on having material possessions is not in the end, fulfilling. The ideal mind would be to experience materialism without attachment.
We often hear the phrase, “You are a spiritual being in a human body”. But this begs the question, what is it to “be” spiritual versus being human? This is where we get confused. It’s our meaning of what we consider the terms ‘spirituality’ and ‘humanness’ that we have not fully reconciled.
