The wane in the usage of the word divinity reflects the attitude at which the mind has been treated by established fact creators.
Inso as much as the mainstream media bloats perception, the notion that changing someone’s mind is either the highest form of intelligence or the deepest form of abuse. How did I arrive at that understanding? Though a lifelong pursuit of truth that does not change (regardless of what is thought), lengthy conversations with my friend and colleague, and a lot of hands on experience working with my own life and mind.
So much of what we believe we are becomes formed before we can recall. This emphasis on the indentity can create an entire life of experiences that are not made by your own choice making. You see, the way I think of divinity is based on the physics of time and space as they were taught to me. Divinity becomes processes of discernment and difference in practice. The elements all around our bodies are also within our bodies. The filtering system of the diaphragm and the complexity of this neural network of veins respirated with the brain performs a pump of life we can gain deeper awareness with how the movements related to heart, visions, scents, and other intuitive sensations work in concert together.
We are all born with different senses that can be cultivated and divided in many ways. We are all different, which is different than saying we are all one and the same. The more reality gets denied, the more of the glory of what it is and can be becomes denied as well.
The stain on divinity gets blamed on religion, because of a few bad actors, traitors of truth. And the fixation on the characters becomes a distraction, as much in life can be.
Life is what we divine of it. And the more the senses are remembered as yours, with full ownership and responsibility to compose with, a world of beauty becomes formed with the might of your mind.
Having agency with your mind, means also hearing what people are really saying, and choosing whether you agree or do not agree. Oftentimes fear and the social need for a group to feel safe within will become a gateway or barrier to remembering your innate ability to divine a course with life.
And based on the various meanings different search results will find, the diving god is as much within as out there; and the ability to see, patterns, insights, through the subtle layers we point to as reality are already as malleable as the mind can be. As I’ve witnessed minds filled by the thoughts of others, whether its the media or mass opinion, are often seeing reality quite differently than minds that think for themselves. That is but one example of a pattern to see that leads to insight of a life in a chord with fear or love.
And how powerful can words be? I’ll always remember how I quivered when someone told me: love was a surplus value. That thought has no power over me, but when I connect with the meaning, it is perhaps one of the saddest perspectives on life, that sets the thinker into a dependence on fiat currency to create with life or not. Yet, I allow thoughts I do not agree with to remain in the background as those disagreements are like a sculptors’ tools; the disagreements distinguish this from that, refining the depth at which choices and genetic activations are expressed. And I found this type of divining life best done without a guru. Few others can know your life as well as you do.
And the pen is powerful in the type of story you want told of your life. It’s up to you.
