The Divine Personality
I have been reminded of how each person has their own powerful personality, and how important it is to discover the full depth, width and potency of your divine personality. The depth of my own soul soars through this time-space moment with wide passion, awareness and presence. I am a body, but I am also a mind; and I am not both at once, but a blend of both, which becomes something more than the two were separate or together.
I am love. God is love, so it’s been said in the spiritual books, thus I am divine — as potential though, not as a given. This Divine nature that dwells within all beings of flesh and mind is striven towards throughout the lifetime. It is a process not a destination. The process begins with awareness, and the urge to worship and give praise. As the beings, yay, the species who has a mind and body, expand awareness and enhance their religion, it becomes, via the individuals in the species, filled with divine personalities.

Divinity is tapped into, like an energy — a very subtle one, that is easily missed: what with all the chatter and noise of modern life. For this reason, in addition to awareness, the key is, and quite possibly first needed to be in touch with the Divine nature, listening in silence.
As awareness expands, for open — not closed — is an aware mind, knowledge comes into the mind. Now modernity will offer its’ blessing to humanity. An open mind will have access and will read books of spiritual knowledge from all religions on this planet Earth. The new religion is the blending of all the religions we already have. Then also the physical body improves with knowledge, and the advance of science. The two grow together, as one — ideally. This creates an environment that nurtures divine features and facets in the personality of the people.
As we grow like this, potential also increases. Potential is the opportunity for change towards a conscious and hopefully better version of the self, through direct or indirect manipulation, which is the environmental influences. Potential is expressed as the actions expressed in our choices, plus the beliefs and faith, which drives the actions chosen. That is the process for the further and continual increase of personal awareness.
To know that you can choose is a new level of consciousness, created through the expansion of awareness. To know what to choose and what the options are is another story altogether. That is the eternal search for divinity, not as an outside source, but through intimacy and closeness with the internal presence of the divine gift of Love. This is the path of a spiritual life, wilfully taken on and walked, for the building of character worthy of the name of the love and light within you. May your journey to becoming ever more divine be true, and yield spiritual fruit and take you to the kingdom of God.
