The Divine Self


Many look outside of themselves for an experience of the Divine. Many turn to religions. Others invoke "inner guides" or a "higher self". I would like to propose that the Divine is not only inside you, it is You!

Now I know that some may squirm at this idea. Others will be skeptical. Others still will outright reject it. I only ask, if you have the courage and the desire to have a true experience of who you really are, to follow me further on this journey to an experience of the Divine, i.e. your Divine Self.

Let me first try to give a definition of what I mean by Divine Presence or Energy (what some might call God). This might be defined as an all powerful and all knowing Being or Energy

If you don't believe that the Divine is You then I will begin with that belief and I'll ask you to consider the following series of statements carefully.

So we start with:

(A) "I am not a Divine Being"

Because if I was then:

"I would have to take responsibility for everything that is happening in my life because I would be the creator of my life"

So buying into (A):

"Relieves me of responsibility and makes my life easier"

So that:

"I can feel more at peace, more at ease, calmer and more relaxed"

Hence in summary:

(B) "Believing that I am not a Divine Being makes my life easier and more comfortable"

Well if that were so then why are we looking for an experience of the Divine at all? Why are we praying for assistance from such a Being? Well because believing that we are not such a Being, in our own right, is actually making us feel helpless, powerless and alone. Does this sound like a comfortable life to you? I highly doubt it.

So, here's what you can do if you have the courage. Notice that statement (B) is clearly not the truth and reject it as the truth outright. Then notice how you feel. Now because statement (A) leaves you feeling helpless, powerless and alone it is clearly "toxic" to you, isn't it? If you recognize that it is then you can reject it as the truth about you as well.

If you've done this, notice now how you feel inside.

Now try this; say to yourself once more: "I am not a Divine Being" and notice how that statement feels to you now. Does it resonate as truthful this time? If you've noticed that it doesn't hold as much weight as it did before it means that you are beginning to emerge as who you really are, A Divine Being.
