French philosopher, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, once said "we are spiritual beings having a human experience". 

But what does that really mean? 

Quite honestly, I'm not totally sure. Nevertheless, it's an interesting concept to explore particularly at a time when so many people are taking to social media of all places to pledge our loyalties to fellow meat bodies. 

Whatever your beliefs, there are question even the world's most intelligent scientists, intellectuals and academics can't answer. Questions surrounding who we are, what our purpose is and why the hell are we here? 

In my opinion, it's not to take to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to pledge our allegiance to these mortal vehicles we've been given.  Maybe now's as best a time as any to explore an "alternative" way of thinking. Maybe we're just spiritual beings living out a human experience that we're way too caught up in.
