Today’s prompt: Is there anything that stops you from seeing yourself as a loving essence or spiritual being? If so, what is it?
The biggest thing that stops me from seeing myself as a spiritual being is that I still feel situations and patterns that seem unbreakable or insurmountable are mandated by the universe, God, what have you, as punishment for reasons I have yet to determine.
How does it serve you to think of it as punishment? Said another way, what’s the positive intention in you seeing it as punishment?
It gives me a reason to not blame myself for repeatedly being unable to overcome the situation.
What if this your experience is divinely intended for you to fully accept yourself as a spiritual being and let go of any of the stuff that’s ego or attached to your humanness? I love asking “what if”…How can you look at this in a way that would work for you not against you? Thanks for sharing this and exploring it.
The larger part of me totally believes this is the case. Dropping the doubt is proving difficult but I’m getting there
I think sometimes what stops me from seeing myself as a spiritual being is the fact that I get so frustrated with God sometimes as to why I am going through what I’m going through like how could he want this for me? What is he doing in my life? I am pretty active in my faith but sometimes when I don’t have answers I want to turn away and stop asking for God’s help anymore. I have felt like that lately like I’m losing the battle anyways.
I used to have these same questions. I was really angry with God.Then I learned that the experiences were actually opportunities to heal and free myself. The harder the lessons, the greater the opportunity for spiritual awakening. You are not alone Miranda.
I’m glad I’m not alone atleast
Deep shame and unworthiness used to get in the way of me seeing myself as a spiritual being. Another thing that used to get in the way was that I didn’t even know that I was a spiritual being. I thought that I was my humanness. Seeing myself as the spiritual being has changed everything for me because I don’t buy into the humanness stuff as truth or something against me. Everything is working in favor of my spiritual curriculum. Once I bought into that, life got WAY easier. I’m not looking for what’s wrong anymore, I’m deepening in all that’s right with me and the world. Just some thoughts…
I think seeing my loving essence is blocked by a lot of guilt, shame, and self-judgement. I am willing and working on seeing myself as a spiritual being first. It seems a lot more possible now than ever before.
