Rethinking Spirituality: Finding the Divine Within

In our quest for understanding spirituality and connection to a higher being, many of us have been conditioned to see this relationship as something beyond ourselves. 

We visualize a higher power, a divine force, or the universe, symbolized by a dot outside of a circle – something completely distant and separate from us.

This traditional perspective often implies we must strive for moral perfection to be worthy of receiving blessings. 

While cultivating altruism and kindness is undoubtedly commendable, it’s time to rethink this common notion of spirituality.

In reality, the truth may be different from what we’ve been led to believe. 

The essence of our spirituality, the divine, the universe, or whatever you choose to call it, surrounds us, with us at the center. 

It’s as if we are the dot at the heart of the circle.

This shift in perspective invites us to recognize there’s no place where spirit is not. 

We don’t need to reach outside ourselves, for the divine exists within us and all around us. 

It can be referred to as God, The Divine, nature, or countless other names, but the one undeniable truth is something greater than ourselves is present.

Check out this video below that further demonstrates the visual of the circle and the dot, and what this means for our relationship with a higher power.

Embracing this perspective encourages a sense of interconnectedness and a deeper understanding of our place in the universe. 

It invites us to seek the divine within ourselves and our surroundings.

Let’s explore this beautiful journey together, as we reshape our understanding of spirituality, embracing the idea that the divine is both outside and inside of us.

Be well and shine bright!
