STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE ESSENCE OF GOD

To the extent that we are alive, the spirit of God exists in all of us, irrespective of differences in belief systems. It is what sustains our true identity as Soul.

It exists in the manner that you often don’t recognize. Because you think yourself as merely this human being called by so and so name. Meaning your self-identity as emotions, mental and physical associations or outer Self. But you are greater than this. You are Soul to start with. You are Godlike in your true latent spiritual nature, a spark of God to put it more accurately.

When they say God is within you, that means the essence of God is within you. It’s an aspect of you that rises above normal thought processes. That tells you what is right and what’s wrong. That guides you to the right actions. That sends nudges to prod you to do something right, that may defy logic. However, nudges are not always easy to act on because they require an overcoming of self doubt and fear in order to do something that will take you beyond your comfort zone.

The more self-discipline you have in the ways of God without fear, the more of the spirit of God becomes an active part in your life. So, stay disciplined, seize the moment, rearrange your life in an uplifting manner and you will stay connected with the essence of God on a daily basis.
