Living is being born slowly (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)




Living is being born slowly.  It would be a little too easy if we could borrow ready-made souls.  ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942

Would You like to comment on this quote?

Every moment, every choice, every experience, every response on this all adds to your birth.
It contributes a little bit to your physical body, which is growing old but can be kept healthy or can be made ill.
It contributes even more to your emotional body, for this all nourishes emotions, and can cause new or beautiful or painful emotions.
It contributes much more to your mental body, which has a permanent effect on your character, on your attitude to life, on what you want and what you let go.
But most of all it has this effect on your spiritual body, which repeatedly changes, grows, becomes more beautiful, or may shrivel, or become ugly.

For your choices, your experiences, your reactions nourish or neglect your spiritual body.
And if everything is accomplished, after your death you will have nothing but the spiritual body. And you would be surprised at the differences.

After his death a powerful dictator maybe has nothing left but a deformed and disabled apparatus.
And a simple farmer may have after his death just this wonderful and beautiful spiritual body with the appearance of an angel.
And God sees this all this and prepares for these two extreme people different paths, even though eventually all paths will lead to God. Though.

My blessings to you all
