SEER: REVIVE Your Relationship with The Divine

“The opposite of presence is not absence, but vacancy,” John O’Donohue.

John O’Donohue believed that on earth, absence serves to remind humans of separation from God. Presence, on the other hand, he theorised, draws us closer to God.

You know I’m a huge fan of presence.

When you’re present, you remain true to yourself, as you’re less influenced by the energy and expectations of others.

When you’re present, you stay connected to the cosmic intelligence.

You remember that you’re a micro earth, actively creating a macro earth; containing the same elements, and the same seasons as the world around you.

You live and breathe with life.

You are not separate from life, you are life itself.

I often like to refer to the Universe, the life force around us, The Divine, as The Big U. ‘U’ obviously standing for the Universe, but also reminding us that you are the ‘little u’, you, connected to the Big U/you, the Divine.

As you walk this spiritual path, it doesn’t matter what you believe, or what you call the Goddess, God, Universe, Source… but it is important to have a connection to something bigger than yourself.

It allows you to get out of your own way and let yourself be guided by a higher power.

It requires us to:

• Let go of expectations, and know that we don’t have all the answers (even when we think we do)
• Release attachments to the way we think things should be and want them to be.
• Release fears and expectations, so we can hear the voice of our soul.
• To know that everything’s about us, and nothing’s about us.
