We are created in the image and likeness of our Creator according to the book of Gensis. We share the same life-force energy and co-creative energy of Creation. All of creation shares a portion of divinity within the core of its being. I claim this to be my truth, I claim my Divinity.
Realizing and accepting this truth, empowers me to unfold into the fullness of me. A rosebud can only unfold in its fullness as a rose. It can not unfold into a daisy or an pansy. From seed to full blossom, it is a rose. It is a unique rose unlike any other. So too are we.
We are a being, unique and perfect, unlike any other. It is our purpose to unfold, owning the whole of who we are along the way. We must embrace the thorns, the off-shoots of leaves, and the magnificence of our blossoming. There is nothing to do in this unfolding, just be, allow and accept.
Henry David Thoreau confirms, "that our self-acceptance actually determines who we are and who we can become. Self-acceptance means that we fully accept our humanness-our ability to make both wise choices and mistakes-without affecting our value as a human being" (McMurphy, Secrets of Great Minds, pg. 83).
We have value and worth because we were created not because we behave or do anything special. However, if we identify our value and worth by our actions and behavior and devalue and/or deny the indwelling spirit or divinity within us, we block our self-actualization or enlightenment.
"In knowing ourselves to be unique, we possess the capacity for becoming conscious of the infinite. But only then!" Carl Gustav Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
