My spiritual journey is asking me to be human. In fact, it is showing me how prized this tactile place is. But for years, I tried to pretend that I wasn’t human. I shunned the heaviness of earth and chose the clouds of heaven instead. This left me a wisp of a person with little substance on the ground. It put a child’s face on my humanness and kept me from being a woman out loud.
But now I know that I am here to be a full-fledged human being. I am here to feel, to know, and to experience the depths that this experience affords. I was born to touch, to taste, and to sense all of the emotions that my soul longs to feel. And this means that I must dance with my shadow and accept parts of my humanity I’d rather not. But when I do, the rewards are life-changing. I see my pristine soul. I see the perfection in everyone because I am living with expansive love.
You are here to know more love than you ever thought possible, through your human experience. So don’t beat yourself up for having one, because you are supposed to make mistakes. This is how you grow.
Yes, your life might get messy, but orderly stagnation will never provide growth. So allow yourself to be human, and then be grateful for what you get to live out. Then carry this precious wisdom into eternity with thanks for the souls you grew with.
By allowing myself to be human, I am seeing a brand new world. It turns out that paradise does exist on earth, and what a gorgeous paradise it is! During these times of human transformation, we simply have to remember this and create from a place of love. You see, our spiritual evolution isn’t about bringing earth up to the airy-fairy clouds; it is about integrating deeper experiences into this magical realm. That is what the years ahead entail. And you are living your courageous life because you accepted the shining challenge.

Another wonder filled post!! Is it not fun to look at our shadow side? Your expression “airy-fairy clouds” is so perfect a way to describe what many that I share this life with try to reach. They do this with their stated thoughts while deep down inside they are wanting and wanting and wanting. ” Fling the door of your existence wide open and enjoy your life” is what I tell them. You are doing just that very thing and enjoying each moment of it. How great and wonderful you life is.
“Fling the door of your existence wide open and enjoy your life.” So inspiring, James. And how you remind us of the wanting deep down that cannot be ignored, no matter how hard we try. You are helping us so much with these thoughts.
Simply Awesome! Suzy how do you do it?! We must “create from a place of love” – simples
Simply simple and perfect : )
beautiful …..
Love you : )
Something in every one of us cries out to be human. It’s okay for a man to show his emotions. That’s not how I was raised. BUT GOD! Living in this world means we need to be committed to being human. Like you said, it’s up to us to allow ourselves this Godly freedom..Thanks for the encouragement Suzy!
Really appreciate your comment and what you’re showing us, especially that “it’s up to us to allow ourselves this Godly freedom.” And the crying out – yes. Took me so long to hear it. Accepting our emotions is so hard in this world that teaches us to hide them, but when we realize their power, that world comes alive, and we are free. Thanks so much Vernon.
Heed this call to celebrate our humanity! I am so feeling it after reading this – honour every emotion, every sensation, every thought – give them space to be in your awareness and watch as these once distressing entities, once so resisted, become a thing to enjoy being aware of!
Wow, such brilliance in the spiritual awareness you describe. Thank you for reminding me to stop resisting and face that which frightens most – to not give it power but let it be what it is and then become stronger for it. Enjoyment I’m not quite at but hope to be soon! Thanks again.
Ah, the difficulty of making friends with your shadow, but how necessary. I think Wisdom grows from the acceptance of what is and the expansion into what can be. Simple and yet profound. Excellent Post as always.
That is profound Hawk. “Wisdom grows from the acceptance of what is and the expansion into what can be.” Beautiful
“It turns out that paradise does exist on earth, and what a gorgeous paradise it is! ” What most of the humans do not understand is that paradise lives within each one of us!! We humans get into our egos and “think” that everything is external. Yes I did write “Fling the door of your existence wide open and enjoy your life.” Until we do our lives become like a day old piece of morning toast. STALE. We are already in paradise.
Just awesome James!
