I've been think about this for a while and while I think Spirituality and learning and understanding such is a most wonderful thing, I also think that understanding how the physical works is important as well.

What we put in our bodies and how we use are bodies has a lot of effect on how healthy we stay for how long and how good or bad we feel. I don't see them (our bodies) as some sort of goals to achieve as eventually they will be scattered into stardust and such - but we still can learn on the Spirit level from them and keeping them healthier for a longer time seems pretty useful to me.

This seems to me to mean that I consider the Spirit as the beginning and the end, and I suppose everything in between as well, and I see the physical as being a Spiritual playground for us to use to enjoy and learn stuff.
