How is your self-esteem? What is your maturity level? Where are you at with character development? This has nothing to do with chronical age. Are you aware of your full potential?
These are good questions to ask ourselves from time to time, especially when we have time to think about such things. Some of us sail through life without much thought about maturing into adulthood. Lately there seems to be a joke going around that some of us adults aren’t “adulting” very well.
Have we ever really thought about the divine essence of our own being? It is something we are born with. It is something we can develop.
Begin to work on this greater awareness about yourself in this meditation. Allow yourself to settle in a quite space and follow your breathing. Relax. Think about your inner spirit, the essence of who and what you are. You are an amazing gift to the world right where you are.
Realize that you have dreams, hopes, and power within yourself. Take a minute to think about them. These are all positive things you are thinking about now. You let drop by the way side all self-sabotaging thoughts and concerns. Today is a new day.
There is a pulse to the life within you beyond blood flow and oxygen ebb and flow, and the schedule of the day. There is a spark within you where ideas generate and goodness resides. It is a wholesome place within your heart, mind, and consciousness. You are more than you seem, because you are made with that God Particle, your divine essence, that spark of life that makes you alive.
You take an objective inventory of yourself, void of criticism, fault-finding, or ego. Bring your awareness to your inner self, the heart of your conscious self. This is where you can begin to detect your divine nature, if you are not already aware of it.
You are born in this exact moment, in the family you were born into, into the situation you are finding yourself right now, for a reason. You have much to offer. You have learned so much in your life thus far, but there is more to learn, more to do, more to help humanity in the gift you share in yourself with others.
Why are things happening to you in your life as they are right now? What is your role in the events of your life? Are you trying to railroad everything? Are you shrinking from what you think you ought to say or do? How are you progressing as an adult? Have you allowed situations to control you, or are you controlling the situations in your life? Do things need to change? How can you make things better?
Jesus told us in Luke 17:20-21 that the Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU AND ME. This is what we are talking about. This Kingdom of God, this divine nature, is more than biology and more than existing as part of the animal kingdom. It is more than just getting to the end of the day without harming anyone, or making sure all the chores are done.
Allow ideas and concepts to flow freely without the filter of your mind stopping any positive thoughts. Wake up to your essence as the divine nature of all that is to flow in and through you. You are part of all existence. Without you nothing would be the same. You have wonderful gifts to share with the world, no matter how big or small that is.
Breathe in peace, tranquility, and serenity. Exhale what no longer serves you. Inhale creativity, inspiration, and self-esteem, and release all negative messaging with which you or anyone else has labeled you. Bask in the love and light of this moment of unity with your spirit awakening to a deeper knowledge that the divine nature of the good God above also animates and fuels your body, mind and spirit.
Have a beautiful day!
Namaste
