Introduction
- Life often presents challenges that feel insurmountable, but it’s during these times that trusting in the notion of divine order becomes essential.
- From our limited human perspective, we cannot always comprehend the larger workings of life, space, and time.
- Divine wisdom exists beyond our understanding and operates in ways that can seem confusing or unfair to us.
Human Perspective vs. Divine Perspective
- Human Limitations: As humans, we are bound by the constructs of space and time. Our view of life is narrow, and we interpret events through the lens of our experiences, desires, and emotions.
- Divine Perspective: The divine, however, is not limited by these constructs and sees the grand design that our finite minds cannot grasp. We often misunderstand divine wisdom when events don’t align with our expectations.
- Even when we follow intuition, disappointments can arise. These experiences are not random but part of a larger divine plan, though it may be beyond our current comprehension.
Trusting in Divine Order
- During trying times, trusting that everything is in divine order helps to cultivate peace and acceptance.
- Inner Freedom: Despite the limitations of our earthly existence, a part of us remains connected to divine joy and gratitude, untouched by worldly challenges.
- The Small Self: Our ego or “small self” often feels betrayed when life does not follow its preferred course, leading to confusion, frustration, and despair.
- It is crucial to respond to this part of ourselves with compassion and unconditional love, much like a nurturing parent comforts a troubled child.
Practices for Connecting to Divine Order
- Meditation, Prayer, and Other Practices: Developing spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, chanting, and conscious breathing helps us access our inner divinity.
- By regularly connecting with the divine within us, we strengthen our ability to see life through the eyes of grace, understanding that everything, no matter how difficult, is part of a divine and perfect order.
