According to the writer we were spiritual beings first (having individual soul) then we assumed a physical body when we were born. So, the spirit came first then second the body. That's why "Man is a spiritual being first having this human experience (physical) rather than a human being first having a spiritual experience." I hope it's clear to you now.
I'm sorry there was a typographical error last time in my post! "Man is a Spiritual Being having a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience." - Teilhard de Chardin

You have a point. I believe that all religions have mystical side or inner teachings that can help man spiritually evolve. In Islam the mystical side is called SUFISM.
And I believe that Man does not necessarily need to join a religion to experience spirituality. He can experience it everyday and in every moment of his life by being conscious of his essence that he is a spiritual being. What is important is that he lives in peace and harmony with everybody! There is no need to convert a person to join a specific religion if he doesn't want to. What is important is that we RESPECT his VALUES as a person.Peace!

I agree.
If a child would ask a lot about the creation or something spiritual, then you teach him by being objective as much as possible. My point is that you don't need to convert a person from your own point of view if he doesn't want to subscribe to your own version of truth. After all, the child will learn to realize deeper truths along the way.![]()
