Sometimes, I think we are God. I think that the collective human population has tricked itself into thinking that some larger than life character is up there striking percussionists dead with bolts of lightening. Somehow, we all have survived together, formed bonds of communication, laws to which we must abide, and feelings and cravings that other living beings don’t have. I think the power to will things happy (for those that know of the ice crystals, this is it) is in all of us; I think it’s God. Every God every fought about, preached on, and worshiped. We’ve only forgotten how important we are. You’ve forgotten how important you are.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Do you understand that feeling where everything is right? You are neither anxious for yesterday, nor longing for tomorrow? It is in this state where everything makes sense, for we are in control of the element in which we exist. More, existence moves into something more beautiful than words alone have power to describe. When I feel the spark within me reaching out to someone else, to shield them, strengthen them, or to teach them, I feel safe. When I see the spark someone else gave me doing something else for a new person, I feel like everything else makes sense. It’s connection, it’s love. It’s the most important thing that there is.
