how to feel undeniably closer to the divine today

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]So many people crave a real closeness to the divine, to feel like there's a connection there. To feel like there is something guiding them and they're not alone in this world. And I think everyone probably wants that on some level. Some people seek it through friendships, human friendships and relationships and other people who are more spiritually conscious and inclined will seek it through the divine or spirit guides and things of this nature.

[00:00:25]And what I wanted to do today is talk to you about how you can realize that you're much closer to that connection than you probably feel or think. And actually more than closeness, more than saying that you're closer, there is actually no distance. You are connected.

[00:00:42]Um that which you are trying to connect with is right in front of you, but it's a matter of understanding and it's a matter of practice as well. There is a bit of practice there, which sounds like a bit of a contradiction, but let me explain.

[00:00:56]I want to kind of guide you to think about how you would form a relationship with a another human being.

[00:01:03]Perhaps you would you you know, you'd meet someone on a dating app or um out out somewhere.

[00:01:10]And you don't think about them very much. You don't love them at that point.

[00:01:15]You don't have these deep feelings for them at that point. But the more time that you spend both with them, but also thinking about them, you start to develop the these feelings.

[00:01:26]You start to develop more of a relationship with them, a closeness to them. And a massive part of that is through the thinking of them. It's through actually just considering them, expressing inwardly, even if you're not doing it consciously, your gratitude for them, your love for them, admiring them.

[00:01:44]And you develop a lot of the attachment, the connection through the mental rehearsal, the repetition of building that inner bridge. This is aside from actually seeing them physically, building the inner bridge.

[00:01:58]Now, [snorts] when we're talking about building a relationship, a connection with the divine, or your guides, or whatever it is for you that you feel closer to, you feel more connected to in a more natural way.

[00:02:12]This mental rehearsal, this mental process of thinking about them, um expressing inwardly gratitude for them, showing your kind of admiration for them, but each and every day, all the time, just mentally saying, "Thank you."

[00:02:30]It doesn't need to be a big grand gesture. It doesn't need to be some scripted prayer. It can be, but it doesn't need to be. And for most of us that live busy modern lives, it's more simplistic to just connect inwardly. And it might be that you're doing the washing up, and you just think about the divine. You think about the divine through everything around you. You look at everything around you, and you say, "The divine isn't distant from me. The divine isn't somewhere outside of myself. Everything that I'm interacting with now is an expression of and manifestation of the divine. This bottle of water looks like a bottle of water to me, but it's actually just composed of atoms.

[00:03:10]It's just energy, but it appears as a bottle, and I need it as a bottle.

[00:03:15]And everything around me now, and around you now, appears as it is, but it is made up of the same stuff.

[00:03:21]And if you take that further, if you talk if we talk about the substratum of everything, the underlying principle of everything, it is the divine. The divine is one, so there's nothing outside of that. So, this sense of us feeling distant from the divine is purely a sense. It's our perception.

[00:03:42]We feel as though the divine is distant because we don't really understand, or it's hard for us to um realize, I suppose, that actually there is no distance. The divine is right in front of us. But as I said at the start, this sort of thing can feel like a bit of a a contradiction because on the one hand I'm saying you need to think of the divine. You need to remember. You need to express gratitude. Build a relationship. Then on the other hand I'm saying everything is the divine is only one. So there is no distance.

[00:04:11]Um but really the the distance or the sense of not being connected is an illusion.

[00:04:19]And through us building a relationship inwardly, so thinking about them, expressing gratitude, doing all of these things, we're actually starting to dissolve the illusion of separation. The sense of separation is being dissolved.

[00:04:34]So we come eventually to a realization that I've always been connected. Of course I have. How can I not be connected cuz there is only one energy.

[00:04:43]There is only one uh creator, you could say.

[00:04:47]So both have to be understood. You have to understand that you are connected at all times.

[00:04:54]Everything is the divine. Everything is a manifestation, an expression um of God, of source. But at the same time, we have to go through this process of building a relationship, building a rapport, remembering, connecting to dissolve the sense of separation, the illusion of separation. And eventually we come to a point where we start to be able to see a bit more, understand a bit more.

[00:05:20]Our consciousness expands and things just start to make sense a bit more.

[00:05:25]Even if it's not on an intellectual level, just on a inner knowing level, you start to know more.

[00:05:30]You start to just experience a better way of life.

[00:05:34]You become more of what you've always been, which is pure spirit, pure energy, pure light.

[00:05:40]And um yeah, it can sound like fancy words and fancy ways of putting it when you've not yet experienced this sort of thing yourself, but just go for it. Just put in the put in the time, put in the effort as you would with a human relationship. People think that spirituality is, you know, needs should be easy and that it is easy and it's it's not. You have to put in the time, you have to put in your time, um, as you would with a relationship, as I keep saying. So, yeah, I hope the video inspires you today. If you need help with this type of thing, if you want to learn more tools that help you to connect and dissolve this this, uh, illusion, meditation and these types of things, then feel free to check out my school. I will leave a link in the description of this video and there's an amazing community there. It's just unbelievable.

[00:06:28]We've got over 800 students from all around the world of all different levels, from all different backgrounds, who are there with a common goal, which is to grow spiritually and understand themselves more. So, if you want to be part of it, feel free. If not, I'll see you on the next video.
