Many factors shape who we are, and they all possess a degree of relative importance. At the same time, we can never be reduced to genetic, sociological, or psychological categories, as modern science tends to suggest. At the deepest level, who we are cannot be condensed into any man-made construct because we are all manifestations of the Divine Spirit, and this means that we are not mere cogs in a political, religious, or global machine. No, we all possess an innate dignity; we all matter. Each one of us has a gift to give to the world. We all uniquely reflect an aspect of God. It is good to bow to images of the gurus or great saints, but if we are truly awake we will bow to every person we meet and to ourselves, because we are all reflections of God.
Divine Mother,
I am not only your highest creation,
But also your unique child.
