It is far different from what's known.

And it is farther than the unknown

Thank you, @everettpoetry.bsky.social for your feedback on today’s #Spiritchat on a topic that is very close to my heart too... it is my small way of honoring the deep influence of the divine feminine that I grew up in back in India 🙏🏽#Spiritchat

In the Osho lecture I mentioned a few weeks ago, this was discussed at length… the full power of an emotion is made available to us to harness… when we learn to ‘wait and watch’ instead of ‘react and respond’ 🙏🏽😌 #Spiritchat

When the power of the protector, provider and creative within us come together, we live in a form of constant remembrance... our hearts can then raise the vibration of the world towards empathy, peace, kindness... 🙏🏽 #Spiritchat A8

A8: #spiritchat a life of peace and harmony. Living to make life better for everyone. To take the focus away from outside power as opposed to the unlimited power we hold within. To realize that making a difference now will influence tomorrow’s world for others.

A8. When protector, provider & creative come together, we manifest communities rooted in justice, care & imagination. That power builds spaces where people can thrive, not just survive, and that’s the purpose worth fighting for. #SpiritChat
