We are souls having a human experience, something that is commonly acknowledged these days. And the journey is filled with complexities, challenges, and incredible opportunities.
A fundamental part of our human experience involves a disconnection from who we truly are—our spiritual, soul self—and an immersion into the conditioned and often hurt human self. This process shapes how we see the world, how we interact with others, and ultimately, how we see ourselves.
For many of us, our journey becomes a quest to HEAL, UNRAVEL AND RECONNECT TO OUR TRUE SELF.
We seek spiritual wholeness, hoping to return to our truest essence while managing the everyday realities of being human.
But this journey can often feel fragmented when we reject parts of ourselves, especially our human side, believing that it equates to pain, discomfort, or something we must overcome.
The truth is, we are not just souls trying to navigate the human experience; we are also humans with incredible, unique processes and elements that define us.
Our potential lies in recognizing and appreciating what makes us uniquely human—and learning to embrace it fully.
THE JOURNEY TO RECONNECT TO YOUR TRUE SELF
For decades, my personal journey focused on moving away from my human self and reconnecting with what felt natural and spiritual about me.
I worked hard to heal and be free from the pain and conditioning of my human experiences, BELIEVING THAT RECONNECTING WITH MY TRUE SOUL SELF WAS THE ULTIMATE GOAL.
This was my journey, and while traveling it, I worked with many others at a human level, guiding them through their growth processes.
But hey, we chose this human experience for a reason—to fully embrace what it means to be human.
Yes, we journey through the pain, but we're also here to explore the immense potential that comes with it.
This was my journey, and while traveling it, I worked with many others at a helping them to work through their healing and growth processes.
However, as I immersed myself in my spiritual potential, I realized that I was neglecting a significant part of who I was: my human self.
My spiritual processing and true self potential were powerful and useful, but it wasn’t until I allowed my true self to engage with my human processes that I could fully connect with and facilitate growth in others.
This shift allowed me to appreciate the uniqueness of the human experience, not just for myself, but for those I was working with.
Embracing Human Potential: The Key to Connecting With And Working With Others
This realization led me to appreciate the incredible processes and elements we get to access because we are in human form—our ability to think, feel, communicate, and create in countless ways.
When I embraced my own human processes, I found that I could better understand the unique potential in others, helping them discover and express their own paths to personal and spiritual fulfillment.
What I discovered was transformative: WHEN WE COMBINE OUR SOUL POTENTIAL WITH OUR HUMAN POTENTIAL, WE UNLOCK A NEW LEVEL OF CONNECTION AND CAPABILITY.
By embracing all aspects of being human, I deepened my understanding of myself, and in doing so, I enhanced my ability to work with others.
THE POWER OF HUMAN POTENTIAL
Your human experience allows you to connect, relate, and engage with others in ways that are impossible when you are solely focused on the spiritual.
Imagine the potential you have to enhance your relationships, experience life through broader perspectives, and approach every interaction with greater confidence and understanding.
It’s about recognizing our unique processing styles, diverse communication abilities, and our immense power to create. It’s about understanding how we think, feel, and perceive the world, each of us bringing our own distinct patterns, strengths, and insights.
COMBINING SOUL AND HUMAN POTENTIAL
WHEN WE CAN UTILIZE OUR HUMAN POTENTIAL ALONGSIDE OUR TRUE SELF'S SPIRITUAL POTENTIAL, WE ARE LIVING A WHOLE AND POWERFUL LIFE.
Our potential lies in our capacity to connect—whether through words, emotions, art, movement, or simply being present. It’s in the moments when we embrace our true self individuality and harness our collective human experiences that we truly shine.
From how we manage our emotions to how we learn, innovate, and collaborate, every aspect of who we are contributes to the richness of our lives. Understanding and tapping into these unique elements allows us to grow ourselves and inspire others.
This is a tangible and physical experience, and when you combine your human potential with your spiritual essence, you become a force for change—not just in your life but in the lives of those you touch.
