Everyone Has A Divine Spark...It's A Choice To Embrace & Live It
I strongly believe that everyone has the divine within them; they simply need to make a conscious and subconscious choice to tap into it. If you think about it, the highest vibration commences when you are operating out of authenticity and unconditional love. And as such, your divine self is much easier to access, embrace, and live.
Often operating out of your most authentic self is hard given our life experiences. The learning and experiences have sometimes shaped “hard wired programming” into our brains that are hard to navigate around, or in some cases, even be able to self-identify. In fact, those that have experienced the hardest struggle with embracing leading by example, sharing their stories and lessons. At their core, those who have healed from difficult experiences and choose to overcome embedded programming are the ones who carry the greatest divine spark. They deeply understand the struggles of others and can see the divine in them even before they see it themselves.
To begin accessing your own spark, it is essential to balance the polarities and dualities within yourself: you can be social and nerdy, feminine and masculine, dark and light, action-oriented and receptive, disciplined and free-flowing, or embody any number of traits you might perceive as dichotomies. You really can be this and that. Once you embrace your own dualities, apply that same logic to all humans that occupy the globe. The math of that simple compounding would then indicate that trying to “label” people and all of their dualistic possibilities would be impossible. Why not just radically accept your humanity—and that of others—and understand that everyone is full of complex layers that make them unique. And just see yourself, and them, for who they actually are?
They say that “The mind can be the enemy of liberation.” So let’s apply that philosophy here. When you interact with another human, you must examine your filters, lenses, and narratives—those elements that shape your conclusions about said human. What is your mind, or even ego, telling you that is based on judgment, stereotypes, and preconceptions rooted in upbringing, societal frameworks, and personal experiences? And ask yourself if this perception or conclusion is really the truth. Elevate yourself to a higher state of thinking to uncover the authentic truth of any matter: the universal truth that comes from the unconditional love of humanity and oneness.
Let me define what I mean by oneness. One reason I love traveling is that it reminds me of a fundamental truth: all humans are seeking the same core needs—survival, safety, and connection—as outlined in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The nuances may vary, but these basic needs remain universal. I feel the same about the world’s religions. Although some may disagree, I believe that despite their different practices, modalities, and labels, religions share a foundational focus: faith, morality, and unconditional love. At their core, they teach us to be good people and to do good, regardless of the labels we assign them.
Every second of every day, we have the power to choose: love over hate, faith over fear, understanding over division, and substance over the superficial distractions of the 3D world. Your truest essence is beautiful—but no more or less beautiful than any other human being. It is our differences that make the world magical, and our scars, when shared with vulnerability, bring light to others. By sharing your most authentic self, you will attract the right people into your life. If this feels too abstract, think of it as an efficiency tool: the sooner you show who you truly are, the quicker you filter out the wrong people.
We could delve into the laws of energy and the principle that what you put into the universe comes back to you—karma, if you will. But on a more fundamental level, I believe this: just do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. Period. And within that, you access your divinity.
Have faith. Be good. Do good. Stay true to yourself, no matter what. Because you—and the world—deserve nothing less.
