Connecting to the Divine

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

Which stopped me being fully human.

Perfectly practical

This isn’t a belief it’s a way of life for me. My years without it are some I don’t enjoy looking back on. I had a bleak space between 14 and 43 where I lost it. I refuse to do that again.

For many though, any idea that there is another world of soul is woo-woo crap. Pardon the bluntness but the words used tend to be worse, unless they’re polite like: crazy; delusional; off your head, and so on.

I don’t come from a religious family, they were Christening, wedding, and death churchgoers. In fact all of our funerals were in crematoriums and in later years, not with a member of the clergy present.

My mum was a medium, she could talk to and see spirit, but she just thought everyone could. Ditto my grandmother. So it’s no surprise really that I found this spiritual path. Dad understood it too.

It was through them I realised that this is natural, it’s our default setting, it’s cosmic law, you just need to find it within. Too many people don’t know that. War and violence would be impossible if they did.

The Mighty Atom

I see God as energy owned by no race, colour or creed. I just use the English spelling. Allah, Yaweh, Krishna, etc., will serve just as well. As will nature, sun, moon, grass, tree, flower, wind, rain.

Everything is love everything is God unless we interfere.

I feel that what we think of as the Divine is a collection of the oldest and most developed atoms in the universe. Certainly a powerful consciousness made of love.

For me God/the Divine/Source/Love is always there, full stop. Everywhere. I’ve felt that love all my life and it’s my parent far more than any human ever could be. With respect to two parents who tried very hard.

I took myself to church to find God and I did, but I also found that energy everywhere.

Practical change

However, when you find that love you want desperately to live up to it, to be worthy of it. You don’t ever want it to be disappointed in you, and horror-of-horrors…go!

When you connect to that love you just have to try to be a good person, even if navigating this world makes it a lifelong challenge. Sixty years and counting.

I can’t even call down fire and brimstone on war mongers, and that’s very annoying.

It was this experience that changed me from fully human to connecting to the universal energy, and becoming a far better person than I would ever be without it.

You might say that love raised me.

May Love raise you
