I will always be a child of God and a seeker of higher understanding.
And God will always be my companion.
But eventually, we must welcome God back into the body and acknowledge the Holy Spirit as part of ourselves. We must learn to recognize it. We carry the divine inside of us. It is our birthright to be part of this connectedness. It is who we are in our purest, happiest, most contented state.
After receiving the Holy Spirit, it has always been my belief that to find the truth in the world, to uncover the deepest mysteries of life and of the self, we only need to be alive and present in the moment. We only need to ask, and to listen deeply to that part of ourselves that is interconnected to the world.
It has always been my understanding that to know God is to know ourselves, truly and fully, in the highest way.
I think spiritual truth is simple. What keeps us confused is our need to explain it in the current discourse of our times and culture. Explain it logically through deconstruction, by taking it apart and categorizing it, by defining what it's not. From that need arises centuries worth of stories -- explanations and dualities between good and evil planted inside of religion, inside of science and psychology, inside of fairytales and mythology, bedtime stories and mystery novels and science fiction. The stories are all different, all attempts at explaining something that is, at its heart, deeply human. It is the search for unity and higher truth that makes us so completely human. It is a journey we all share.
I am not a prophet, but I am human, and I think that is something worth dwelling upon and deeply considering. And though I have found my truth through experience, that is not a truth unique to me, nor am I the gatekeeper to it. It is an experience shared around the world by those of all ages, creeds and nationalities. More than that, it has been written inside of our blood, in our DNA. Our bodies contain the highest truth of this world and the self. Every memory ever had by man has been recorded in our genes. We don't have to search far to find it -- we can know it, see it, experience it, simply by being present in the moment and loving ourselves unconditionally. We ask for God's forgiveness, for his Salvation, and then, we connect. Then, we become whole, and that wholeness extends through every part of ourselves and into those around us as well. We are not alone in this world. We are, in fact, all connected as one. Becoming consciously aware of that connection is our birthright, and just as Christ said, if you seek it, you will find it, because it is, in fact, who you are.
And when you do find it, you will be satisfied and at peace, and you will understand why I do what I do, and we shall go about it together -- we shall continue this work together.
If trauma has the ability to rewrite the body -- to be stored inside of our genes and change us -- then what can unconditional love do, when directed wholly upon ourselves, shined down upon every forgotten childlike fear, every shattered piece, every broken dream? What do we become when we receive God's unconditional love into ourselves as we were meant to? What can we transcend?
