The truth is, you are already full. You are already whole and complete.

You are the stars, the moon, the sun, and the sky. You are your unlimited Self — the Source, the life-giving principle, pure Consciousness. That is who you are. Yet, you feel limited and inadequate.

It is the greatest delusion, the greatest error humanity can make: to be Almighty, yet feel minuscule. To be the ocean, yet feel worthless because you believe you’re just a wave.

We are all gods and goddesses in this apparent world. Yet, we have lost sight of our true nature. Consequently, we have identified entirely with the body, mind, and ego, reducing our magnificent stature to something insignificant and small.

“Every man is divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
