Just an observation within myself; such distinctions have been quite helpful to me in many ways over the years. But, of late, I have noticed that recognizing wholeness of our being is also important. There has been a tendency (at least within myself) to peer at one through the lens of the other...depending on which 'being' is dominating my sense of things at the time. I suspect the reality is that we are fully both and there seems to be a number of implications to that. For one, we can't take ourselves apart and look at things in separate containers. We are inextricably interconnected. My view of God (and then of myself) is highly influenced by my human experience. And vice-versa. All that to say, I'm (at the moment) more in favor of both than one over the other.
