In his teaching for in Bread for the Journey for November 30 (today) Nowen speaks about a favorite theme, spiritual embodiment:
"Our spiritual bodies are Christ-like bodies. Jesus came to share with us the life in our mortal bodies so that we would also be able to share in his spiritual body. "Mere human nature," Paul says, "cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 15:50). Jesus came to dress our perishable nature with imperishability and our mortal nature with immortality (see I Corinthians 15:53). Thus it is in the body that our spiritual life finds its fullest manifestation."
Yes! Being a flier in the spiritual realm and being in the body can go together when our physical bodies are participating fully in heavenly earth, earthly heaven by being transformed into spiritual bodies. In AYP terms, this is the marriage of bliss consciousness and ecstatic conductivity pouring out into the world as love.
