The Power That Lives Within You.
Realize the power of the Force that dwells within you, the boundlessness of your potential as a Creator, and the unconditional nature of your worth as a beautiful spark of this universe.
You are a HUMAN BEING… in whom a fragment of the entire universe resides; in whom the wisdom and knowledge of the cosmos dwell; in whom lives the pure life force that makes you such a whole, sentient, intuitively intelligent creation of God – and the creator of your own reality, your own surrounding universe. You are capable of anything. Yet, you can also obscure or drift away from your potential as a Creator by believing in your fears and the mind’s illusions. Do not doubt your worth, for all doubts are illusions of the mind – illusions living in your subconscious. Your worth is unconditional, your power is mighty, and your potential is limitless. Doubts and fears are merely thoughts; they have no power to make you even slightly less valuable to this world or this universe, nor less of a beautiful, light-radiating creation of God. Doubts and fears can only cloud your mind. Come back into your body; feel again. Feel into the things that make you doubt or fill you with fear – the things that prevent you from seeing how mighty your potential and power as a human being are, and how infinite your worth is. The ways life wounded you (and it has wounded every living being in its own way and for its own reasons), or how the world around you traumatized you – these things may have been beyond your control, simply happening when you were a child… but what you choose to believe now – that depends on you, and you alone. You can choose to feel and trust your heart; you can return from your mind to your body and – by truly feeling life – believe in your own strength and the power with which life fills you. Whatever the universe’s destiny holds for us, whatever life presents to us, there is a luminous purpose behind it. Our souls choose pain to temper the light – so that a person might find that light within themselves by traversing the darkness; so that they might learn to choose lightness through the experience of heaviness, by living through that weight; so that they might unlock the codes within – codes residing in their DNA that can only be revealed through feeling. These codes lead a person toward their potential to live in lightness… or, in other words, to learn to feel what brings heaviness rather than running away from it – running away from themselves. By feeling, they allow life – that pure energy of life – to flow freely and awaken the knowledge dwelling within them, in their body and DNA… gradually remembering, through feeling, the truth that lives inside. Our souls choose pain so that, through the sensation of being lost or abandoned, a person might find a home within themselves and connect with something higher – something that fills them with a sense of belonging and unites them with their true place beyond physical form. Yet… our souls choose pain while holding the potential to bypass suffering or avoid getting stuck in it. Of course, there are so many unique lives on Earth – unique particles of a single, whole entity. Each life is unique, beautiful in its own way, and painful in its own way – and each life evolves in its own manner. And for every soul, evolution unfolds uniquely – at a unique pace and in a unique form, as the result of unique experiences. Sometimes, in order to evolve or find the light, souls commit to very arduous experiences; yet even within them, a person holds the inner potential to choose the light before darkness consumes them – to choose to feel, and to allow that pure sense of life to heal them, bringing them closer to their soul and to an understanding of why their soul chose such an experience.

No matter what a person’s initial destiny may be, there always resides within them the potential to alter the course of their life’s events – to illuminate their path and future experiences with Love by following their heart and acting from their center, from an inner knowing and understanding of the world. Yet, a person can also become stuck by refusing to accept the heavy feelings or emotions triggered by unpleasant life events and experiences. They may fail to find the strength to stand on the side of truth and love rather than fear – to allow themselves to feel fear while still choosing love; to let doubts and dark thoughts exist in the mind without judging or trying to cast them out simply because they are “wrong” or cause discomfort, but instead giving them space to be, allowing feelings to flow freely; and – from that inner place beyond the sway of reactions and triggers – to choose and act based on that pure, quiet knowing within the heart. By following the heart, a person illuminates their own path and the Universe itself. Although experiences can sometimes be baffling or unpleasant, clarity always dwells within the heart – at the very center of being – even if it is sometimes faint or nearly invisible. Yet, through the heart, a person knows; for the heart is a portal to the Higher, a gateway to pure contact with God and one’s own Divinity. Through the heart, one finds the trust to surrender control and the burden of responsibility – lifting that heavy weight from one’s shoulders – and discovers trust in the world, in life, in the universe, in God, and in one’s own soul. The burden and heaviness of control and responsibility that we typically shoulder are unnecessary; although our minds may convince us we are unsafe and must exert control, no human being is truly capable of controlling anything, nor are we responsible for how life unfolds or for the events occurring around us. Life is immensely powerful and beautiful; if we attempt to diminish or redirect it – trying to control the uncontrollable – we risk losing the joy of living and the pleasure of its flow. We become trapped in a cycle of constant haste, control, judgment, and mental confusion. By trying to take responsibility for how life unfolds – or even for experiences that, on a grander scale, are beyond our control – we risk drowning in life’s waves and remaining pinned to the bottom. Yet, the potential to swim with the current of life and ride those waves lies in letting go of control and responsibility, and in placing inner trust in the pure, divine flow of life that sustains us. Only by swimming with the current, rather than against it, can one find balance and harmony on one’s path and experience inner peace – peace of heart regarding who we are, the unique destiny meant for us, and the unfolding of our own journey. As particles of life, the universe, and God, we are always – truly always – safe in trusting: trusting the flow of life and the higher universal order that governs how things happen and how the current of life moves. This inner trust in life brings a sense of ease; it allows us to flow through every experience – even the most unpleasant, heavy, or painful ones. And it need not even be about “life” in the spiritual sense: even if a person does not feel the presence of God or a higher supporting power, they can still trust in the laws of the universe and nature – the laws by which this world operates. These are the laws dictating that everything has a cause and an effect, that everything holds essence and meaning, that all life is unified and precious, and that everything unfolds exactly as it should, serving as part of the universal plan – the universal balance.
