Before you took your first breath, you existed in the endless light of the Divine. You were not apart from the Holy One. you were birthed from the same radiance, a luminous current in the great river of being. You dwelled in the palace of souls, held in the embrace of Shekhinah, the Presence that births all things.
You chose to come here. Not as exile, not as burden, but as devotion. You descended, wrapped in the breath of the Holy, carrying the sacred code of your origin within the temple of your body.
Your body of bone and breath, is not separate from the light. It is a living portal, a gateway through which the Infinite touches the finite. Every cell of your being holds the memory of the Divine spark. The rising and falling of your breath carries the hidden Name, the sacred vibration that moves through all things.
And yet, you have forgotten. This world veils the soul’s knowing, wrapping it in layers of illusion, teaching you that you are small, that you are separate. But beloved, this is not so. You are still as you were before, radiant, vast, eternal. You have simply been living between remembering and forgetting, of exile and return.
Your body is not an obstacle to the Divine. It is a bridge. It is a living temple, consecrated before time began. When you move with presence, when you breathe with awareness, when you touch this world with love, you awaken the remembrance. You call forth the light that has never left you.
The soul does not enter the body to be imprisoned, it enters to be revealed. To bring heaven into matter, to weave the sacred into form, to anoint this world with the fragrance of the Holy. Every moment you are here is an opportunity to awaken, to embody the love that created you, to remember that you were never separate from the Beloved.
Listen. Feel. The breath of the Divine moves through you even now.
You were never lost.
You were never alone.
You are light becoming light again.
