The average person goes thru life letting it just happen to them, not exercising the God-given talent they posses. There are many spiritual gifts at our service. We just haven't allowed ourself to tap into our core presence. The environment we're in plays a vocal part in the ill shape we become. Yes, we are products of our environment. But, we can switch this.
After reading in one of the greatest books ever, I read a text that stated, "I created man in my image and likeness". I thought to myself, wow, this is interesting. I'm a spitting image of my Creator. And not only that, I act like him. Wow, this is amazing. This open up another level of depth in my spiritual development. I was able to see in these few texts, I am also a creator. The light was turned on and the door was unlocked. I enter a whole other realm of peace and understanding. During this process more and more things start to become clearer. It seemed that I been living, at the time, 32 years of my life with my I eyes wide-shut.
The more things I begin to learn, the more and more I found that I didn't know nothing. After a while and some ego adjustments, I grown to be cool with my insufficient nature, now I understand grace, at least at this moment of my life.
The development simply consist of, really "knowing" who you are and acting accordingly. Understand, when you were uniquely handcraft by the Master Designer.There were NO errors, none what-so-ever. This is fact. In this western society, we are bombarded with extremes in the media. And we are compel by this source and a lack of understanding of our true essence, to indulge in the ill behavior. But, once we take ownership in this new found, but yet old knowledge, we open a door to another dimension of possibilities.
