Divinity

Divinity is something that we have assigned to something outside of ourselves in many religious practices. However, we are born of Divine substance and we come into form already emanating the Divinity within us. From our childhood experiences and the ways that we are treated as children, this Divinity is shaped and molded and sometimes becomes something that is outside of ourselves. But this is only an illusion. The Divinity within each and every one of us has the capacity to create entire new Universes, right between our palms. Gathering up all of our life force, our Chi, to harness it for our own wellbeing and for those around us, is simple. It is a process of remembering that we are already Holy, we have always been Holy, and we will always be Holy. One way to consider this Holiness that we all are is to think about ourselves as sacred, our bodies, our soul, and our mind. When we treat something as Holy, we respect it, we care for it, we honor it. Considering oneself to be sacred, to be holy, is to respect ourselves and honor ourselves with the intention of knowing how special and awe-inspiring each and every one of us truly is. Today, write a love letter to yourself. It needn’t be long or drawn out. Writing down all the ways in which you are lovable, in which you are kind, aware, and thoughtful to yourself is the first step in allowing yourself to remember how holy you truly are. For it is in the recognition of holiness that we will start to extend these thoughts of respect outwards, leading to actions of respect, and experiences of respect and sacredness with others. But we must start with ourselves. We must respect ourselves first, feel in our bones how sacred we are, before we can extend this to others. To respect others and not oneself is the way that our Divinity diminishes. We can see the Light in others once we recognize it in ourselves. Writing has the power of intention. Sit in stillness for a moment today, and write to yourself how you would describe the holiest of holy people. And then, consider that you are just like this, just in a different body. Feel how sacred you are by placing your palms together and feeling the energy pulsing between your palms. This is your life force. This is your Chi. This is the beautiful expression of sacred matter in form. Peace be to all sentient beings everywhere. We are all Divine Loving Light. We are all Divine Loving Light. We are all Divine Loving Light. So be it.
