The Body

Where Divinity Meets Humanity

Your body is the living, breathing dream of your soul. To fully understand the divine masterpiece that is the skin you are in, we first need to unravel the difference between the view we have of our physical body and the truth of what it really is.

Our physical body is often reduced to mere flesh and bone in the eyes of the world, seen as something to be shaped, controlled, or judged, often driving us to declare war upon our bodies. We punish it for not meeting impossible standards, demanding that it fit into moulds carved out by society.

Diets, rigorous exercise regimens, & harsh, cruel self-criticism are often the weapons of choice to beat our beautiful bodies into submission.

We push it past its limits, ignoring its cries of fatigue, hunger, or pain, as though its voice were an inconvenience rather than a guiding compass.

Your Body Is An Instrument, Not An Ornament

The skin we are in is the outermost layer of our physical self, but it is not the limit of who we are; it is only the beginning. Unfortunately, for many of us, the conditioned mind has become the loudest voice in our lives, distracting us constantly with its incessant chatter. Our mind was only ever intended to be a tool—a servant to our higher self—yet it has become a relentless master. It keeps us living through the wounds of our past, recycling pain, fear, and self-doubt. It traps us in subconscious loops and compels us to seek external validation by conforming to norms.

The Greatest Gift We Can Give To Ourselves Is Simply Remembering

Within the depths of ourselves, we already know there is a deeper truth patiently waiting beneath the surface. Our body is a portal—a connection not only with ourselves but with the universe around us. It is a gateway, and we are the gatekeepers.

Our body is our spirit’s earth suit, not a sinful or corrupt thing. It is a living entity that extends far beyond its visible boundaries. Every single inch of our body is a receiver and a transmitter that vibrates out our unique energy signature. Our vibration is a mirrored reflection of the thoughts we think, the emotions we feel, and the beliefs we hold.

But we view ourselves as mere matter through the conditioned mind’s eyes, with its engrained five-senses perspective.

We have forgotten that the heart, too, can see.

Our heart is our highest vibration; it is love itself. It is the key we have always held to the place we could not find.

This is where divinity meets humanity—the innate truth of who we are and the path we are destined to walk. By opening our hearts to ourselves first, we begin to see with the eyes of self-love.

From this powerful space, we can peel back the layers of crusty emotional baggage and outdated societal beliefs to unveil the glory that has always been within us. This brilliance is your soul’s light—a pure, unshakable reflection of your divine essence. From here, you can not only heal yourself but also create a ripple effect that will emanate across the globe for all humanity to feel.

Question: Imagine what the world would be like if we saw souls instead of bodies?
