You Don’t Have To Be Holy To Be Spiritual: You Get To Be Human

There are two ends of the spectrum that keep us from embracing our humanity. One is what society barks down your throat: that you’re flawed and imperfect and not good enough and perhaps even bad, wrong or sinful. The other end of the spectrum is the uber spiritual that tells you, you should be holy, better than human, saintly and enlightened. Both neglect the beauty of actually being human. Being human is the unique point between the earthly and the heavenly. It is the trunk of the tree, where the roots dig deep into earthly soil and the branches reach towards the stars. We get to be the vessel in-between. The horizon between day and night, between earth and sky. We experience most suffering when we think we should be something different than we are. Somehow more holy, more pure, better than what we’re feeling now as humans. But I believe that when we think of reaching “enlightenment” (which I’m personally not a fan of the word), what we’re really seeking is peace. And peace can only come via the full acceptance, embracing and loving of our human selves. We’re not here to transcend. We’re here to grow through this incredibly textured experience of being human. So what if you were to drop all the old beliefs and constructs of how being human is sinful, and instead, believed that you were and are, beautifully and perfectly designed to be exactly the way you are. Sure, we can grow through awareness. We can make the unconscious, conscious. We can change patterns and evolve behaviours. But never from the perspective that we’re not good enough and need to become saintly, but from the view that this is the school of life and we get to explore, discover and evolve our soul through the vehicle of being human. We’re unraveling the old so that we can grow into the new. Which is really just a homecoming; remembering who we truly are. Tune in for more… Loving you from afar, Corinne Want to work 1-1 with me?
