Trusting and Using Our Inner Divinity

Divinity is not something outside of us—it is within, guiding us, and we can learn to trust and use it in our daily lives.

We often think of divinity as something outside ourselves—something distant, to be revered but not necessarily touched. But what if the divine was not separate from us? What if it was something we could access, use, and live by in our daily lives?

Throughout my life, I have sought to share this truth: divinity is not simply to be worshipped. It is part of us, an aspect of our own consciousness. Just as our brains send signals to move our limbs or speak our thoughts, they can also move energy and receive messages from a universal consciousness. This is not an abstract idea but a real function of the brain.

Discovering the Divinity Within

Understanding that divinity is within us is not just a philosophical idea but a vital key to navigating the world today. As the world changes at an unprecedented pace, we stand at a crossroads. With technology and globalization, we are more interconnected than ever, yet we also face challenges that threaten our harmony with ourselves, each other, and nature. If we do not want to repeat the same mistakes that have played out through history, we must look beyond our personal limitations and access a higher level of awareness.

The challenges we face today might seem overwhelming, but the answer does not lie in seeking external solutions alone. Humanity has already been given the means to manifest peace, love, and coexistence—not just for our families, our nations, or our groups, but for all beings. The wisdom of the ages tells us that we are one, not separate.

If divinity is within us, how do we access it in our daily lives? The key lies in quieting the mind and expanding our awareness beyond physical limitations. When we tap into this deeper awareness, we can use it in practical ways. We can use it to calm ourselves in moments of stress, to bring clarity when making decisions, or to strengthen our compassion in difficult situations. Through meditation and deep presence, we learn to go beyond the noise of our thoughts and connect with a greater knowing. But meditation is not limited to sitting still with our eyes closed. It is any state where we become fully present and open: when we are deeply absorbed in creative work, when we feel the flow of movement in our bodies, or when we harmonize with nature.

Returning to Our Original Nature

When we quiet the mind, we become aware of something deeper—our true spirit. Spirit is the eye that sees us clearly, the ear that hears the voice of divinity within. When we lose touch with this awareness, we fall into endless comparison, competition, and striving. We try to prove ourselves, to be “good enough.” But when we return to the zero point, the place of origin, we no longer measure ourselves against external standards. We simply are.

Then the barriers of the ego dissolve. The limits we have placed upon ourselves—”I am not strong enough,” “I am too old,” “I am not wise enough”—fall away, and we return to the infinite potential that has always been within us. When we act from this awareness, we no longer live from fear or self-doubt. We trust our instincts, speak with sincerity, and move through life with a sense of purpose.

Most people believe that the boundaries of their physical body define who they are. But what if this is only an illusion? The air we breathe is not confined to our lungs; it is part of the vast atmosphere that surrounds us. In the same way, our consciousness is not limited to the space within our skulls—it is connected to something far greater.

This is not just a concept to understand; it is a truth to be lived. We can go beyond simply reading or believing in this idea and experience it directly. It’s only through practice do we awaken to our true power. Using divinity is not about something mystical or unreachable—it is about trusting the wisdom that already exists inside us and allowing it to guide our actions every day.

Let us use the tools we have been given. Let us quiet our minds, move our bodies, and expand our awareness—not just to feel divinity, but to live by it. Let us bring its wisdom into our daily choices, use its strength to overcome limitations, and channel its love to create a world of peace, harmony, and limitless possibility.
