Spiritual Boundaries: The Protection of Your Essence

There comes a time when being loving is no longer about how wide your arms stretch,

but how wisely you choose who gets to come close.

Spiritual boundaries are not about building walls out of fear.

They are about building gates of discernment out of love for yourself, for your purpose, for your peace.

When you consistently allow access to people who do not respect your presence, you’re not just being “nice.”

You’re telling the divine,

“I am okay with dishonoring my own essence.”

You’re saying,

“My growth is not urgent, my spirit is not sacred, and my energy is open to be mishandled.”

But this is the truth:

Your life is precious. Your presence is not casual. Your soul is not public property.

When you keep people close who have shown you again and again, that they do not love you, do not honor you,do not protect you, and instead, seek to harvest your light, feed on your effort,or even work quietly to pull you down

you are practicing self-abandonment.

That is not humility.

That is harm.

You must surround yourself with emotionally mature, spiritually grounded allies, people who value your wholeness, people who speak your name with reverence even in your absence, people who want to see your soul expand, not your energy deplete.

Be for everyone in kindness, in humanity, in service.

But reserve your intimacy, your sacred space, for those who genuinely care, not for those with subtle control games, unspoken resentment, or hidden agendas.

That is how you protect your spiritual wealth.

That is how you stay well in a world that pulls.

That is how you stay free while loving deeply.

It’s not cruelty.

It’s clarity.

It’s not being cold.

It’s being clean with your energy.

Pure with your energy.

It’s not arrogance.

It’s alignment.

Be picky.

Be precise.

Your life is not an open hallway for anyone to walk through.

You don’t leave your home door wide open for strangers.

You don’t let just anyone hold your child.

You don’t give everyone your banking information.

So why give everyone full access to your emotional world, your sacred thoughts,

your most tender dreams?

Just like your phone has a passcode, and your business has a security system, your spirit needs protection too.

Your emotional energy is spiritual currency.

Not everyone can afford it.

And that’s not your problem to solve.

That’s your wisdom to honor.

Love deeply.

Forgive freely.

But trust selectively.

Because love without boundaries isn’t love it’s self-erasure.

Compassion without discernment becomes an invitation for chaos.

And presence without protection invites harm.

You are allowed to say no.

You are allowed to close the door.

You are allowed to walk away without guilt.

This is the most radical love you can give to yourself: to know that your energy is is a gift ,and to guard it accordingly.

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 ...

You Are Light: The Divine Energy Within You

For centuries, we’ve been conditioned to see God as something external, an all-powerful being separate from us, watching over the world from a distance. But what if that’s not the full picture? What if God isn’t “out there” but within us, woven into the very fabric of our being? The truth is, God is light . And that same light resides within you. The Science of Light and the Divine This isn’t just a spiritual concept,it’s a scientific fact. Light is the foundation of all existence. Everything in the universe, including you, is made up of energy , and at the core of this energy is light. From the cells in your body to the vast galaxies in space , everything is illuminated by this fundamental force. Modern science tells us that light is essential to life. The Sun provides the energy that sustains the Earth, plants convert sunlight into food through photosynthesis, and even human cells emit biophotons tiny flashes of light that regulate our biological functions. If we take this a step f...
