What happens when you create something? Whether it’s a fabulous meal, a sculpture, an essay, or your beautiful child, creation is an outpouring of your divine love into something outside yourself. That creation is a piece of you, something put into the world to share and enjoy. Creation is the result of an EXPERIENCE that comes forth from within us.
God created us for the same reasons we create. Because God was everything, God wanted to EXPERIENCE something that is beyond God. This creation is the soul, a piece of God, made in God’s own image, and an expression of God’s love.
God didn’t stop with the creation of souls. The soul wanted to EXPERIENCE something beyond itself, so the soul’s integration into human EXPERIENCE was created. Humans were given free will and the ability to create too!
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a 20th century Jesuit priest and theologian, wrote in his essay The Phenomenon of Man:
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
God’s cascading love designed creation that creates, all for the purpose of EXPERIENCING something outside of ourselves.
I believe there’s a little bit of existentialist in all of us. Why am I here? Why did this happen? Why am I who I am? We don’t ask these questions when we feel healthy, happy, and financially secure. Typically, these questions arise during times of struggle, grief, or pain. We wonder why a good and loving God DID this awful thing TO us.
So why are we here? We are here to have a human EXPERIENCE. To live, play, laugh, love, smell, touch, taste, and to learn. Even the very difficult, sad, and terrifying experiences are a gift to us, and they are for our learning. We are here to learn how to be human.
“Unless someone tells us about the Bigger Life or we’ve had a conscious connection with the deepest ground of our being, we will continue to live as though we are separate from God.” ~Father Richard Rohr
