Divinity

[AngelaB]

This morning the notion of divinity has a captured my attention and
I’m called to share my insights. Maybe because it’s Sunday morning
and for the first 41 years of my life I either went to church or felt
guilty about not going to church on Sunday morning. Or maybe it is
something I read this week. I know for sure it is in my awareness and
I’m called to share. That’s all I know and I trust the call.

Recently I have come to know that my live is about spirituality. Not
religion, not god, not spiritual practises or rituals but simply
spirituality. Again, I do not know the details of what this means but
I trust it is something wonderful and as I relax into the beauty of my
unique human experience, what I need to know will be revealed or maybe
not and it is all perfect.

I looked up the word divine just to see how the structure of language
portrays the word. It covers everything from clergy, priest and
Supreme Being to extremely good, unusually lovely, informal, emanating
from God and my favourite “to perceive by intuition or insight”. For
me to perceive life by intuition or insight means to live in alignment
with my true authentic self, to live from the inside out with my body
leading as a sensory device in the physical world. My body is spirit
incarnated in refresh, a quantum biological device, fuelled by breathe
and a willingness to trust the truth of my own unique experience.

Not only is my life divine, I am divine. I am a “godforce”,
manifesting in the physical through divine insight and intuition
unique to the accumulated experiences of the godforce that I am and
yet connected to all that is, has been and will be. Although I live a
unique human experience I have access to all knowledge and wisdom in
each breath through the portal of divinity that connects the godforce
that I am to the great God, void, universe. Each and everything
living thing is a godforce and each and everything living thing can
choose to live via the “insight and intuition” streaming through the
“portal of divinity” or via culturally conditioned believes, values
and attitudes adopted out of need to be loved and/or a fear of not
being loved.

Religion worked very hard to convince us that we are not divine and
that there is no “natural” grace within the living. As I catholic I
learned that I am not divine, by nature I have good and bad in me and
I must turn to God (outside of me) and ask for forgiveness and
guidance on how to be “good” or I would live in eternal damnation.
Not long after Jesus left this plain, Christianity became entrenched
in fear and the message become one of “power” and “control”. Early
church leaders knew (because this was their experience) it would be
much easier to control people in “need” of forgiveness and grace, than
people who know they are divine and full of grace by the very fact
that they breathe. This shift in how humanity perceived itself has
defined life on this planet for the last 2000 years.

When I look around me at all the war, violence, rape, poverty and
general disrespect for the living in our world, it is obvious the
religions, politics and other society structures in place are just not
working and it is time for another major shift. If we continue on the
road we’re on, humanity will become extinct in my children’s live time
(or maybe even in my live time). I call for a shift back to where it
all began, back to the knowing we are divine. Think about it, a
divine human race, with all the knowledge and experience of modern
science and spirituality. Do think people would manifest drug
additions or batter their children, steal from one another or destroy
the planet if we believed we were divine. Not likely!! This is
possible and it all starts with each of us becoming mindful of the
divinity within. It is easy too; all you need “to do” is breathe
(relax your body) and be yourself from one moment to the next. For
me, once I relaxed into being myself, I came to know my own divinity
and began (without effort) to see the divinity in others and sensed my
connectedness (and respect) for the living.

I now know who I really am. I’m grateful for where I stand in my
life. I’m no longer captive to many of the old believes, values and
attitudes instilled in me via my early family system and cultural
conditioning. For me, life is divine. I’ll take “unusually
lovely” over rushed, stressed, overwhelmed, and unsure and all the
other nominalizations I used to describe my live prior to knowing my
own divinity.
I used to say – “this is the day that the Load has made, let us
rejoice and be glad”. Now, knowing what I know I say – “this is my
day, what wonders will I manifest for myself today, joy, joy!!”
I send you blessing of peace, love, joy and harmony,
Angela the divine :) LOL

Thank you for writing this angela. It really resonated and it was
powerful. I continue to dance back and forth from each view but I
always come back to this one. No matter how much I explore, it this
perspective is the only one that offers more for my own sense of self
and creating more, and experiencing more. I am face to face with a new
layer of culteral conditioning and I choose to relax into it and see
what comes from it. When I read others experiences on here it feels
like I am not alone on the journey. Even though sometimes I feel very
alone on it. But life keeps getting better and richer.

I got goosebumps when I opened this email and started reading. Let me tell you a story. Yesterday morning a group of wonderful women met to share themSelves with others. At the end of this wonderful conversation it was so clear to me how divine we all are; all of us women! It was clear to me how perfectly the word DIVINE expresses the true nature of who and what we all are and I expressed it to all present.
It is in the FIELD, all of it; it is the realm of all potential and it's all available to me, only if I allow mySelf to be THAT. When I stop doubting my intuition and insights, when I stop listening to how "it's not going to work" or "what makes you think YOU can do this" and "what a silly idea". All I have to do is trust mySelf and know that when I do all is going to work out as it should.
And the more I allow myself to be that the more I see, all around me, how divine I AM and how divine all those around me are as well. And so I can then BE that.
 
This has been an amazing weekend! A weekend when I discovered so much more about mySelf through all of you ladies. I am now willing AND able to be the divine presence in my world. And every day I am reminded that I am NOT alone. You guys remind me of that by reading my mind form a far LOL!
 
So thank you Angela for these words: "I came to know my own divinity and began (without effort) to see the divinity in others and sensed my connectedness (and respect) for the living."
Thank you Jean for your willingness to share your experiences past your declocking. It's a reminder for how simple it can be.
Thank you all you wonderful women out there for being a part of me:).
 
With RIG,
Beata

Beata, thanks for sharing your story. It is so obvious that we are all connected!  When this happens I know we're effortlessly working as a collective to manifesting clear evidence of the divinity of humanity.  Perfect!! Joy Joy
