When Spirituality Gets Real: Beyond the Instagram Quotes
What if the most radical spiritual act you could perform today wasn't meditating for an hour or attending a silent retreat, but simply recognizing that you-yes, messy, imperfect you-are already divine? Not "becoming" divine through enough yoga classes or "finding" divinity after the right pilgrimage. You already are. This isn't spiritual bypassing or feel-good fluff. It's the uncomfortable truth that changes everything once you actually believe it. Most of us have been taught that spirituality lives somewhere outside ourselves-in churches, temples, ashrams, or at least in the perfectly curated feeds of wellness influencers. But what if your entire life, including the mundane grocery runs and awkward work meetings, is already a spiritual practice? What if the divine isn't something to achieve but something to remember?
