Seeing God Within Everyone

In a world rife with judgment, it's astonishing how we often focus on the flaws of others. We tend to magnify their shortcomings, casting them in a light that highlights only their dark side. Yet, when it comes to ourselves, we yearn for the opposite: we wish for others to see our good qualities, our potential, and our positive actions. This contradiction is a testament to a mindset ingrained by a society that emphasizes the negative.

However, it is essential to recognize that this is not the essence of who we are. You are not merely a drop in the ocean; you are the ocean in a drop, an individualized manifestation of the divine. The challenge is that many resist this idea, feeling unworthy or inadequate, unable to grasp their true potential, especially when indoctrinated with beliefs of inherent sinfulness or inadequacy.

But what if you chose to see yourself and others through a lens of divine beauty? Imagine the profound connections you could forge by perceiving everyone as an expression of the divine, treating them with the reverence you would accord to a deity. This doesn't imply idolizing every person you meet but rather recognizing the divine spark within them.

When you interact with others, I urge you to look beyond their imperfections and instead see the purity and potential within. This shift in perception can transform your interactions, leading to more meaningful and spiritually profound connections. It's about honoring the essence within each person, not just the surface appearance.

Celebrities and individuals with extraordinary talents often awe us because their gifts are expressions of their divinity. We instinctively recognize and admire this, placing them on pedestals. Yet, when we encounter people who haven't realized their potential, we tend to focus on the negative, criticizing rather than encouraging them. It's crucial to remember that without support and recognition of their potential, people struggle to rise above their current state.

You, as a part of this universe, are a creator in your own right, shaping your reality with every thought and action. By acknowledging the divine within you, you recognize your power to create your world. This understanding should extend to your interactions with others, acknowledging their role as creators of their reality, no matter how different it may seem from your own.

Each person is on a journey to discover the divine within themselves. By recognizing this, you can approach others with empathy and compassion, knowing that they, too, are walking a path toward self-realization. As you acknowledge the divine in others, it reinforces the divine within yourself, empowering you to live with intention and purpose.

Embrace your role as the sovereign of your life, the architect of your experiences. By doing so, you'll see that all is possible. With this mindset, every person you meet is not just another individual but a reflection of something greater, an amazing being with the potential for beauty and greatness.

So, as you navigate through life, remember to see the god in yourself and in everyone you encounter. This doesn't mean they have reached their full potential or even that they are aware of it. Yet, it doesn't diminish the fact that they are divine by nature, just as you are. You are the creator of your universe, and when you truly embrace this, you unlock endless possibilities, seeing the beauty in yourself and in others, and infusing each interaction with reverence, love, respect, and the power of the divine.
