Spiritual Health: Being at Peace in Everyday Life

Divine Source

Keeper of Your Gate

There is no other keeper of your gate but you
You have helpers along the way
Those who parented you and loved you
Those who befriended you and taught you

In the end though you are the sole keeper of your gate
You decide what to focus on and who to let in
You decide what you feel and how to react to those feelings
You decide what is worthy of your attention and what is not

You make all the choices of what and who can enter
Based on all the love and hurts you have ever experienced
You draw to yourself all the wonderful and awful
Experiences you need to come clean with yourself

Every life is a balance of the good and the bad
You have to sort it though and decide what to allow
What you will put up with and who you will tolerate
Those people who are helpful and those who are not

This can feel incredibly overwhelming
The sense that is it all up to you
That each choice or decision is solely up to you
This is not fully true, nor your only alternative

The experience of feeling alone and wholly responsible
Is the human interpretations of a lifetime
There is a spiritual dimension that can also be present
That choice is to connect to all the Love energy available

What if you tried to connect your heart to Love
Every single moment of the day and night?
What if you asked for Divine help to do this?
Knowing you will always be heard and supported

Not so alone, not so solely responsible for your life’s trajectory
What if you truly sought the guidance of the Great Spirit?
Try it. Nothing keeps you from opening to Divine Love
And seeing where it leads you. Seeing where you are taken.

You really have nothing to lose but unhealed inner negativity
You have everything to gain, a pathway to Peace and Balance
You will also be accompanied if you call this energy into your life
You have to give permission though for help to be given to you

Take a leap into the arms of Divine Love and Knowing
You are already wired for this, by being in body
You have already committed to learn everything needed to come to Peace
However, you must still activate this call to Divine Source again, now

You may think you have set up your life to work with Spirit before you came in
However, until you consciously make that choice again in body
You will not be fully able to work with Spirit because of Free Will
You have to call in the Presence of Divine Love now for it to manifest

It is not a hard thing to do
Only you may need to set down
The feeling that you do not deserve
To know God’s presence

That is a human issue, fully coming out of false self-perceptions
Set those down, call the Divine energy in anyway
The act of calling in the Presence of All That Is
Will set you on a renewed path to Inner Peace, Kindness, and Love

Where is God ?

God is within you because you are the creation of Divine Source. You can’t really be separated from that Divine energy but you can actively diminish your ability to receive Divine support and clarity. Perhaps you have never had a Divine moment that you know of. Perhaps you like your life that way. You can go along for lifetimes without consciously activating your spiritual self, your connection with God/All That Is/Divine Source. The colors of your pallet however are likely to be muted in various ways. This is because existing only in the realm of human awareness is a limiting perspective on what you are doing here. When you narrow your focus to the externalities of life, you become increasingly consumed by human endeavors and the Divine Light and Love gets completely lost.

If you are at all curious about Divine energy, begin now to learn about this dimension of life. Ask for a Divine course to unfold for you so that you can grow in the conscious knowing of God/Spirit/Perfected Love. Do this any day of your entire life and it will be given. Spend time in Silence to determine what you need to let go of.  This is a different way to live. Knowing Divine Light, Love, and Connection is like adding color to a washed out landscape. It is like adding music to your day. It adds a huge portion of love to everything you touch. It is transformational and it is available to all people. However, you have to begin the activating, seeking, and exploration of this for yourself.

One active myth is that you have to be “a good person” to know God. If you feel you have made too many unforgivable mistakes, are not worthy of a connection with Divine Energy or just feel too negative about life, you may have mentally closed the door to Spirit/God/The Oneness. Then you make no effort to check out this Divine part of yourself. Here’s the truth though. One major reason to check out Divine Presence is to begin to heal all negative perceptions you hold of yourself. If you have messed up again and again, the EXACT place to address this is in Sacred Space with Divine Oneness. In Sacred Space, you can call for forgiveness, receive that forgiveness, completely set down your issues in the past, and make new choices. Truly, you get all the chances you need to make changes. The slate gets wiped clean because you call that energy for yourself.

You are nudged towards Divine connection through repeated unpleasant circumstances. Recurring physical pain, recurring failed relationships, recurring work trauma, addiction, chronic illness, and recurring acts of anger, etc. are all ways that you are being invited to go within. When you go within, the Silence and stillness enables you to figure out where you most need to focus, what needs healing and how to proceed.

By far, the biggest myth carried by humans is that God should make everything work perfectly otherwise there is no reason to believe in God. The reason to believe in God energy is that you are God energy in form and action. You are God personified and you get better and better at knowing that Divine energy, being that Love energy, and spreading it in the world. You are already wired for God because you are in body. You get as many chances as you need to activate this energy in the Earth dimension. So begin now wherever you are. Begin the search (or deepen the one you have) for your own connection with God. Go within and seek that two way connection. It will manifest in tangible ways and that energy will lead you to clear all your blocked energies of any kind to expand your conscious knowing of The Oneness/All That Is/God/The Beloved. Use the Six Step Healing Protocol to get you started. Keep doing the work. Keep showing up in Silence, no matter what. Keep seeking and you will find you way ahead.
