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 the name of love. 

To show others there is another way of living rooted in integrity, honesty and truth.

That love only yielded dishonor and disrespect, time and time again. 

That chapter ends here.

I choose to protect my spirit from pretense.

I will not shrink myself to fit into spaces where honesty, respect, and integrity are absent.

I now understand that what I allow is a reflection of what I tell the Divine I accept.

And I no longer accept anything less than truth, integrity, and peace.

From this moment forward, I return to my values.

I root myself in what is sacred and real.

I choose to lean into spaces where I am celebrated not merely tolerated. 

Seen and not used as an energy source for people who refuse to evolve.

Honoring my values doesn’t mean judgment or bitterness.

It doesn’t mean hatred.

It means unconditional love towards everyone, while realizing that values meant to break others isn’t for me.

It means protecting my essence from harm and disrespect even if it means protecting the abuser from the Divine’s response.

It means standing firm in my truth without enabling injustice towards me or others.

I can only be reached through genuine love and respect the same love and respect I have extended, but was met instead with hatred, violence, black magic that I detest with my entire being and the audacity of trying to exchange destinies.

But destinies cannot be exchanged because mine is rooted in values that honor divinity.

Mine are rooted firmly in an undiluted belief in God.

A faith that does not permit belief in dark magic, manipulation, or oppression.

I will not applaud oppression.

I will not support manipulation.

I will not entertain what needs me to be small.

I will not silence my intuition.

I will no longer shrink to be digestible.

I am open to harmony.

Mutual respect and growth.

To walk in love and light.

Because as I return to myself, I remember what it feels like to be in alignment with the Divine.

And I will never misalign myself again to reach for hands waiting to manipulate or to ruin me.

Love and Light,

Umi
