i can't do it...alone

I have been on a spiritual journey for several months now, and by that, I mean that I am on a journey to become closer to The Most High Almighty Creator. This has been an interesting journey to say the least, but all in all, it has been worth it.

I didn't realize how out of sync I was with The Creator until I started trying to find my way back to the Creator. I have indulged in so many "spiritual" activities in the past (nothing too crazy) to get closer to God. Yoga, mantra meditation, frequency sound meditation, and sound therapy. These are the things I was using to renew my relationship with God, and I didn’t realize that at the time, it was driving a wedge between me and the Almighty Creator. Why? This became my focus, instead of focusing on the Almighty Creator during these sessions. It became more about me.

What can I do to control my breathing? What can I do to control my thoughts? What can I do to relieve tension in my hips? What can I do to make my day better?

This seems to be the overarching focus in modern society, especially with the influence of social media. I am not saying this is a totally bad thing because it is important to be self-aware. BUT when we focus solely on what WE can do, we limit ourselves.

We are tying ourselves down by trying to focus on our powers, and we forget that our main power source is drawn from an almighty source. So, no matter how much we try to grow and advertise, our flame is limited without the main fire.

This brings me to the point of most individuals trying to look within to solve a problem or reach a certain height. To each its own, but how deep can you go by just doing that? What is inside of us that we are trying to uncover? Many of us are stricken with deeply embedded traumas and toxic egos. How do we move past that to get the answers that we need? Is it more meditation? More yoga? More therapy? More indulgence in mind-altering substances? To some, that may be the answer. But for me, I choose the almighty source.

It's interesting because even when I was focused on “my internal” and controlling myself, I never actually FELT in control. I felt just as lost. But now that I have an internal focus to follow the Almighty Creator in every effort of my life. I feel free from constraints. I feel free from limitations. I feel more invincible (and I say that as humbly as I know how).

In all, this spiritual journey has taught (is teaching me) that while I HAVE the blueprint, that doesn’t mean that I CREATED my blueprint. That credit goes to the architect, the author of my textbook. The illustrator of my piece. So why would I focus on the piece, when I can go directly to the Peicemaker?

Which is why I created this quote: “The blueprint is within and the architect is above.

Give Thanks,
