It often seems that our biggest problem with being human ... is being human! Here you will find down-to-earth and compassionate comments on some of the biggest issues that trouble us as we attempt to live fully and make sense of our lives. In often humorous responses, the guides talk plainly about the spiritual complexities involved in being human.
"We'll start by introducing ourselves. We're spiritual beings like you. Except we don't have a body. But we did in the past, many times. We have repeatedly lived through the experience of occu-pying a human body and dealing with all the exciting, boring, wondrous and excruciating experiences that go with being human. We have been delirious with joy. We have suffered unimagin-able pain. We have given birth. We have raised children. We have lost children. We have been slaves. We have been masters. We have oppressed. We have fought against oppression. We have experienced everything available to human beings. This is the experiential basis for our claim to authority on what you're living through now. We know because we've done it all."
