It’s always a trip to return to the same physical place when you’re in a completely different realm emotionally and spiritually. Perspective is altered so much through experience and wisdom. Other than the addition of a new temple, everything looked exactly how I remembered it. We went to 3 different temples. The first one was a fire temple that had every Leo tendency of mine at the front of me being. The second temple was devoted to the divine feminine spirit. I felt so open hearted and loving, while we were inside, I turned to another student and asked her for a hug. We happily embraced and my soul was singing. The third temple is the place I practiced my very first meditation. As a kid- I had a lot of questions about the Universe that my parents and religion couldn’t answer. So when I tuned in and got a glimpse of the truth I was seeking- I felt at peace in a way I had never known. We went to 3 different temples.

So when I tuned in and got a glimpse of the truth I was seeking- I felt at peace in a way I had never known. The moment I walked into the temple I was overwhelmed by the energy. I could only hold back my tears for a moment. I sat in the same spot I sat 14 years ago and let the gratitude of every little thing that’s happened to me between then and now wash over me. I started sobbing. As I surrendered to this cathartic and therapeutic experience, I felt myself surrendering something else. A weight on my heart that had been there so long I had grown numb to it. I released an undefinable feat that I no longer feel the need to explain. What is- simply is. && it is divine in its existence.I walked out of the temple feeling the elevation of learning something on a spiritual level. The lesson itself can not be elucidated as an intellectual idea can be. I can do my best to explain what a glimmer of enlightenment looks like from my perspective but you won’t truly know until you experience it for yourself. Potential knowledge is exponentially expanding with every occurrence that is part by part defining reality. It’s all relative really- the important thing |
