Integrity Is the Path: I Will Not Trade My Soul to Belong or Succeed

Anything that requires me to abandon my values, betray my beliefs, or compromise my integrity is not for me. It can miss me completely and I will not chase it.

Integrity is my compass. If I must leave grace behind, silence my truth, or step out of alignment with my soul to gain something, then it was never truly meant for me. Nothing real requires me to become someone I am not.

If I have to acquire it through injustice, manipulation, coercion, or harm, then I do not want it. Because anything I must gain at the cost of my integrity will never bring peace. And I will not trade my peace for performance. Perform for who?

This is not just a moral stance it’s a soul decision. I understand now that I cannot lead from a fractured place. I cannot guide others from wounds I refuse to acknowledge. Leadership without integrity is hollow. Influence without self-awareness is dangerous.

Integrity means I choose to heal before I lead.

It means I walk in truth even when it’s not rewarded.

It means I hold myself accountable, not just when others are watching, but when no one is.

I do not come from corruption or betrayal, and I refuse to introduce it to those who come after me. I will not model brokenness disguised as strength. I will not pass down survival patterns when I was born to live fully, freely, and in truth.

That is how I know what’s right. That is how I know what’s real. Because anything I must betray myself to keep, I am willing to lose.

I choose integrity, every time.

Love,

Umi

Duality vs Oneness

In many mystical traditions, God is seen as the One Source of all that exists. From this perspective, nothing stands outside the Divine, not even the shadows we fear. Both light and dark, joy and pain, are contained within the infinite mystery of God. Yet in faith traditions like Christianity and Islam, the devil is understood differently, not as God, but as a creation of God. The devil becomes the symbol of separation , the willful turning away from unity, love, and truth. Where God is perfection and pure goodness, evil arises not from the Source but from distorted will, pride, and rebellion against divine alignment. Beyond the Image of Horns and Fire, The devil is not a creature with horns, a fiery tail, and glowing yellow eyes. It is not merely an external monster lurking in shadows. Instead, it represents the energy of separation, the distortion of truth, the rejection of compassion , the misuse of divine gifts . The devil is rebellion against unity, whether it shows up in i...

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone. The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful. They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion. Race, nationality, belief systems, these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure. Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected. It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth. A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion… Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design. Each of us, different yet divine. Every ...

Returning to Alignment

Loving the Divine means loving all of the Divine’s creations. It is impossible to truly declare devotion while dishonoring the souls that walk this earth each on their own sacred journey. The Divine is woven through everything: in every person, every living being, every moment of grace. To love the Divine is also to love yourself. Self-love is not selfish; it is sacred. It means honoring your soul, living by your values, and aligning your life with who you truly are. This alignment is the bridge between your inner world and the Divine’s truth. My own path has been one of constant learning and unlearning of resetting myself from the inside out. Along this journey, so much has been illuminated that I can no longer ignore. I see now how often I gave my light away to those who did not honor it those whose values did not reflect mine. Those who prioritized their desires on this physical realm over my soul. I offered my spirit where there was only manipulation and deceit. I did all that in t...
