You Ain't Shit, You're Shinola.

There comes a time in everyone's life that they either think or utter the words, 'Been there, done that, have the T-shirt.'

Face it, almost everything that you can imagine has either been thought of, invented or discussed before your brilliant revelation. Have a great idea? It's been tried and/or done. Have an insight that seems unique? Pfft... not unique at all... many others have also had that insight.

The difference between your insights and another's insight is that one of those with insight acts upon that idea or inspiration completely out of blind faith and trust that what he or she knows is right. And, to know that something is right requires an understanding of the unseen and unknown, Why does one know that something is right?

That's a deep-ass question. Yet, the person who has been in that position has no doubts. And, if there are doubts and the person acts in a way contrary to what they know to be true, chaos ensues.

A universal law is that we are all intertwined and connected by the very same molecules that created the universe, planets, trees, animals, your obnoxious neighbor and the chair you're sitting in while reading this blog. Energy. Even static items such as furniture and your underwear are composed of energy. Granted, some of us could use underwear with higher energy levels.
But at the core, all matter and even non-matter is composed of energy. Yeah, I know it's a deep concept. Yet, physics is a gift that we can all benefit from receiving if we just stop to think.

What I'm about to say mixes the Divine with science. Actually, the two intermingle for our benefit.

Religion has no place within the mix. Religion is an abomination, a by-product of spirituality. Religion is a form of government, so to speak. It controls, it dictates, it demands obedience to man-inspired rules.

Religion is the anithesis of spirituality, Spirituality is within every living being on this planet and always has been within every living being. Even the most vile humans in our known history have been gifted with the Divine Light of spirituality. Unfortunately, people have the gift of free will.

As Raphael, my friend and guiding light told me, "Free will... that was maybe not the best idea ..."

By the way, Raphael is an Archangel. He's a funny dude. He is also a healer I know this as a fact.

Oh, if you weren't aware, I have regularly met spirits, archangels, and yes, even Jesus, during my Shamanic journeys. Those journeys have changed my thinking, my direction and my actions. For instance, when not too long ago I chided anyone claiming Jesus as the Son of God, I have been made aware that we are all children of God and have within us the same light that Jesus had within him. He was a healer who used the light, the foundation of existence. He had trust and belief that his time on earth was special. He didn't want a religion crafted by his life here. As a matter of fact, he abhors religion.

Ask me how I know this... quick answer, I've spoken to him,

It doesn't matter whether you believe me, call me a heretic or any other derogatory term.

What matters is that we are all interconnected not only to this planet, but also to this universe, dimensions unseen and each other. Infighting for political reasons, familial reasons, racial reason, sexuality-based reasons or any other excuse is baseless and, well, stupid.

Embrace who you are. Look within before you judge. What you hod inside yourself is what others also hold inside. Free will is a bitch. Mistakes are made as a result of free will. Yet, at the heart of every soul lies a light that touches another in some way, no matter how miniscule it may seem.

Live. Love. Learn.

And, beyond everything else, Listen.

Namaste.
