The Act Is Holy, But the Intention Is Not







There is a stillness I have come to know. A quiet inner place where I meet the universe. Not in performance. But in presence. Where devotion is not decoration. Where truth does not need translation.


I have also come to know not everyone who moves in sacred ways is doing it from a sacred place.


We are in an era where the spiritual is trending. Where rituals are visible. Captions are poetic. Prayers are performative. And sacred acts are being filtered through ego, envy, and mimicry.


Here is the truth: The act may be holy, but the intention is not. And the universe always knows the difference.


When Holiness Is Worn Like a Costume, It is easy to imitate what looks powerful. Easy to copy someone’s rituals, repeat their words, mimic their rhythm. But you cannot duplicate frequency. You cannot fake divine alignment.


I have walked through fire with my whole soul. I have tasted the silence that reshaped me. I have been called into depths others would not survive and I rose. Not because I knew how to perform, but because I surrendered to become.


You want to embody light while skipping the refining. We want the appearance of sacredness, but not the sacrifice that births it. To want the energy, but not the intimacy. The crown, but not the cave. The platform, but not the purification.


IImitation Without Intention Is Misalignment


You can stand in sacred spaces and still be spiritually bankrupt. You can perform rituals with no reverence. You can dress like a vessel and still leak like a wound.


Because holiness is not in the fabric, it is in the frequency, an alignment.


When prayer becomes performance, when ritual becomes strategy, when sharing becomes subtle competition disguised as connection or inspiration, something divine gets distorted.


The Universe Can Tell the Difference


You cannot trick sacred energy. You cannot conjure someone else’s calling. Even if you copy the rhythm, God sees the root. Even if you mimic the fruit, the soil tells the truth.


And the consequence is this: False light flickers. It may impress the surface, but it cannot sustain.


What is not birthed in truth will never thrive in it.


I have learned that my only real protection is alignment. I no longer over-explain. I no longer water down my voice to make others feel more spiritual. I no longer mistake imitation for admiration.


Instead, I trust frequency. I trust silence. I trust that God guards what is divine and I must do the same. The world does not need more performers. It needs vessels.


And being a vessel means letting God fill you not strangers mimic you.


To anyone who feels lost without an identity, I promise you, you do have one. You are the identity.


All you have to do is look within. Your higher self is waiting to meet you as many times as it takes.


Love always,

Umi

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 ...

Versions

In a moment of profound self-reflection, honouring the different versions of myself that have shaped who I am today. Every choice I’ve made,  every decision that felt uncertain at the time, has contributed to the wisdom I carry now. I’ve journeyed through many phases of growth, each one adding depth and understanding to my identity.  In some ways, I’ve been many people in one lifetime and that’s something I'm proud of. Each version of me, whether it was a version of hope, doubt, strength, or transformation, has served a purpose. And now, looking back, I can see how each part of my story was necessary for the person I am becoming. I honour that and in doing so, I honor my capacity to evolve. It’s a reminder that I’m never stuck just always in the process of becoming, continuously shedding layers and uncovering new possibilities.  I stand as a testament to my own resilience and growth, fully embracing both my past and my future. While reflecting with gratitude ...

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...
