“A contemporary definition of Divinity states: “A divine force or power. Powers or forces that are universal, or transcend human capacities.”
When we examine this definition, two facets of good news are revealed. First, transcending a situation is more than simply surviving the situation. It is rising above the situation to triumph over our challenges
In doing so, we become something more — something greater — than the versions of ourselves that faced the challenges in the past.
Second, human capacities describe what we accept as our abilities, both today and in the past. It’s often the case, however, that the limits we are accepting for ourselves are not true limits at all. Rather, they are perceived limitations that we’ve been conditioned and indoctrinated to accept for ourselves.
Divinity is more than our thoughts. Divinity is more than what we believe. Our divinity is more than our conscious mind. It’s beyond our subconscious mind. Divinity is an expression of a part of us that is known as our superconscious. This is the part of us that is lasting, ancient, and timeless.
Our superconscious is the source of our direct knowing. It’s the key to our deep intuition, creative imagination, and expression. It’s where our self-acceptance and self-love begin, and because of this acceptance and love, it’s also where our deepest states of healing begin.
An often-used, yet anonymous quote that helps to clarify the distinction between subtle states of consciousness is: ‘The superconscious mind is soul, source, love, the authentic you. The subconscious mind is what you are. The conscious mind is what you do.’ We see expressions of divinity in the world around us each and every day of our lives. Sometimes those expressions appear in unexpected ways.”
