Everything has a Divine purpose
Shifting from Darkness to Unlocking the Gifts of Spiritual Awareness
"Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not." – Deepak Chopra
Whenever I reflect on what it takes to ascend into a higher state of consciousness, I realize the journey isn’t trying to accumulate new ideas about reality. It’s about releasing the beliefs that limit my perception of what’s possible. Almost anything can serve me if I’m open to seeing its higher purpose.
This creative way of seeing life requires an open mind and heart. It’s the key to experiencing the lighter, more joyful aspects of existence. When I face obstacles or feel overwhelmed, I’m reminded to step back, expand my perspective, and glimpse the bigger picture.
The most important lesson I’ve learned in this process is how to step back and recognize that everything has a purpose. I may not see its higher purpose at the moment, but it is always there.
Often this higher understanding comes when we stop labeling ourselves and the world and are willing to see how even the deepest darkness serves us. Just as we don’t judge dark clouds for bringing rain, we can accept our inner darkness, knowing it, too, holds a higher meaning.
This acceptance of darkness is crucial. When challenging emotions or thoughts arise, we can embrace them as part of nature, part of the Universe’s unfolding. By doing so, we become clearer about our light and allow it to guide us further on our spiritual journey. Embracing this light opens doors to inner gifts, transforming each struggle into a valuable teacher.
