There's God in every one of us. There's a voice of God in every one of us. There's a spark of God in everyone of us. There's an act of God in everyone of us. We should simply live our life experiencing itself in every situation, in every permutation, possibility. We don't have to ask too many questions, just live.
In every moment, there is God-behind-the-moment experiencing itself taking every opportunity to learn of itself within itself. Every choice, in everything that we do, is a moment to choose the right from the wrong. Still, in every wrong, there is some right. Basically, there is light in everything and it is just a matter of our perception to accept it.
When we accept this, God behind every moment, God is our co-pilot having given us our ego and His sparks. Together, it becomes the source of our energy flowing through our own consciousness and its layers. We just have to carry this light, the essence of life, to treat humankind with more love, respect and compassion.
That much I believe. That much I see and hear, and would want to see and hear, in everything and in every one of us. Every soul, every moment has something beautiful in it, even if it is only the tiniest potential for something good.
I believe when we are to see the beauty in our daily consciousness, in our Being, there is a divine God that is all in all of us. That this divinity lives within our soul, in every souls and in every moment.
One of my favourite author, Paulo Coelho in his book "The Witch of Portobello" wrote 'Christ surrounded himself with beggars, prostitutes, tax collectors and fishermen'. What he probably might have meant is that there is a divine spark in every soul and is never extinguished. It is said that the opposite of LOVE is fear, not hate. Generally, we just feel indifferent.
In this book, the story winds around Athena's dilemma and her tearing quest to fill up the spaces within her, the negative, the silences in her life, to answer her questions of self, of will and of truth. It reflects upon us that everyone of us has encountered a completely different person at different times as if a creation of our own selves.
I grew up in an organized religion. Just like any other major world religion, we were told that God is somewhere out there. In order for us to reach out to Him, we need to go outside of ourselves. We need to be 'outside ourselves' to find the answers to our prayers, to find the wisdom we need to live with. For our souls to be guided.
What I didn't see was the divine spark that had been with me all this while. That this same divine spark is in all the people around me, the moment around me. We are our own teacher that just need to inspire ourselves to give the best in order to discover what we have already known.
Paulo said 'You are what you believe yourself to be. Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable. You don't need to do that because you know it already. And when you doubt it, which happens, I think quite often at this stage of evolution, do as I suggested.'
He added 'Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View you anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it. Now go back and meet all those people who think you know everything. Convince yourself that they're right, because we all know everything. It's merely a question of believing. Believe.'
Often, I would like to do some reflection at the beginning of every new year. It is about making for an unshakeable trust to find for the meaning of success and suffering in my life. To take stock of what I have had learned and knowing what I had fought for. To accept that there are sufferings and there are defeats. And, to accept thereafter that it is better to lose some of the battles in the struggles of my dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what I was fighting for.
What sparks me on this topic, and only to re-affirm deep into my believe, is when I received an email from a friend. It filled with profound messages to what I have always wanted to believe. It also came at the right time since I was dwelling on an invitation to attend another spiritual event.
God, in another divine spark through a friend, has somewhat spoken to me. I just have to listen to it and to take charge. I have been an individual that is fully comfortable where I am today. I have no big desires to keep on searching.
Personally, the only thing that I ever need to do today is to S.I.T. - to Stop thinking/feeling/doing and to Inhale and Think. This is the Power of Choice for me to understand, to comprehend, to practice and to internalize all those lessons that I had been given.
In Paulo's "The Witch of Portobello", Athena's search takes her through a journey of many phases until she realizes that silence is what defines the sound. I need to find that awareness. I need to be one with consciousness. The only way we learn is when we open the door of higher consciousness, this ever powerful energy, to bring about for our daily awareness in all moments of our our life.
Let me end this writing by sharing the content of that email. (Those bold and underline are what resonate to me. It is the voice of God to affirm my stand and my believe.)
What Is Your Purpose In Life?
Written by Nicole Lanning
When we think of our soul purpose in life that comes to mind? Most people think it is what we are here to do, accomplish, learn, teach, experience, and for the most part they are right. We all have a purpose in life – what we are here to do, and everyone’s is different. But how do you know what your soul purpose is in life and what can you do with this information once you find it out.
The trick is when you are searching for your purpose in life is to look within. No one on the outside world can tell you what your purpose is. They can give you suggestions by reading your energy, psychic readings, and sometimes even tarot cards, but if you keep looking elsewhere, other than within, for your purpose in life you will always be searching. The biggest lesson I can ever give you on finding your purpose is to believe in yourself enough to search from within to find this. The more you search outside of this the more you will continue to search. You have to believe in yourself first and foremost and trust that the answers are true.
So, how do you go about searching for your purpose in life? You start by taking some time for yourself with something that resonates within you such as journaling, meditations, or just some quiet time to think and reflect. When you are taking this time you have to look within and find what makes you truly happy. Is it helping people? Maybe teaching? Possibly a dream that really gets you inspired? Everyone’s soul purpose in life is going to be different, and no two are alike, as we are all unique individuals..
It is about finding that one true thing that you love to do, give, share, teach, or spread the word about that makes you happy. If you are struggling with finding that one true thing, keep searching from within and don’t give up, as it does not always come to you on the first try. You may narrow things down a bit, but haven’t hit the nail on the head yet, but it isn’t a time to give up, but to keep searching within. When you find that one thing that you are extremely passionate about, and that is the one thing that you could do the rest of your life, money aside in this way of thinking, than you know you have found your purpose in life.
Once you get to this point, it is about taking action to put your purpose into physical format. This will be the best decision you have ever made and you will be on the right pathway for your own unique purpose in life!
