God's truest identity and our True Self are Love. Why must we awaken what's already there? Praying, meditating, solitude—all valid. But the key? Embracing our reality fully. God's presence in our life is our life. It's easier to attend services than to honor the Real. No need for doctrine, just vigilance. Living reality won't feel spiritual; it's edgy, not essence. We're drawn to drama, but embracing our edges leads to Love's core. We don't find our center; it finds us. Our minds won't get it; we must be spiritually bare. Living shapes our thoughts. We meet our true selves and God at Reality's core.
May we awaken to the Love that is our truest identity and embrace our reality fully, for in living authentically we find God's presence, which is our life.
