Sermon: Humility in Divinity

In this sermon, Teopixqui Dez explores a powerful idea at the heart of the Colorado Psychedelic Church's philosophy: the creation of a "divine us." While each individual carries their own divinity, something extraordinary happens when people come together in community. The collective energy, care, responsibility, and time shared among individuals can create something larger than any one person — a force capable of healing, strengthening, and even saving lives. But Dez also reminds the congregation that divinity requires humility. Passion without grounding can become destructive, and even leaders must remain accountable to the community they serve. Through stories, reflection, and a moment of transparency about leadership decisions, this sermon invites listeners to consider the giants they build through their relationships — and whether those giants truly serve them. Because every relationship, every gathering, and every moment spent together contributes to the divine presence we create as a community. And the question becomes: Do the giants you create nurture you… or harm you?   In This Sermon Why recognizing our own divinity must include humility The danger of passion without direction A transparent look into leadership decisions behind the pulpit How community accountability strengthens spiritual leadership The concept of the "divine us" created through shared time and intention Why relationships shape the spiritual forces around us How community can heal in ways individuals cannot The responsibility each person carries in shaping collective energy The impact of toxic relationships and "toxic giants" Why tending to our relationships is part of revering the self Real stories of healing and life-changing support found in community How shared time creates the most powerful form of spiritual connection   Community Announcements The Colorado Psychedelic Church will be participating in Colorado Springs Pride this year.
