Suppressed divinity

-


There is a sacred thread that runs through all of us, a divine intelligence, a quiet inner knowing, a spark of something both ancient and alive.

But for many, this essence has been silenced. Suppressed. Forgotten. Not because it vanished, but because we were taught not to trust it.

What is the “Divine within?"

The Divine Within isn’t tied to religion,  it is the part of you that feels limitless, intuitive, deeply connected.
It’s the self before shame.
The voice before conditioning.
The truth that existed before the world told you who to be.

It’s the internal compass that says, “You already are enough. You already know.”

But in a world that prioritizes logic over intuition, performance over presence, and conformity over consciousness, this inner divinity gets buried beneath layers of self-protection.

The psychology of suppression:

As children, many of us learned that authenticity was risky. Our sensitivity, our boldness, our dreams, our boundaries, were often misunderstood or punished.
So we internalized a dangerous belief: I must disconnect from my truth to stay safe.

We replaced inner knowing with outer approval.
We lost our voice in order to belong.
We learned to doubt the very part of us that made us feel alive.

This is how the Divine becomes suppressed, not destroyed, but dormant.

Reclaiming the suppressed Divine:

Healing isn’t just about fixing what’s broken, it’s about remembering what’s sacred.

To reconnect with your inner divinity:

  • Create moments of stillness to hear your intuition

  • Release the need to earn your worth

  • Allow your emotions to be portals, not problems

  • Surround yourself with people who honor your truth, not just your performance

Divine essence often whispers. It won't compete with noise. But when you get quiet enough, it returns.

Reflection:

  • What parts of me have I silenced to be accepted?

  • Where have I outsourced my authority and ignored my intuition?

  • What practices help me feel sacred, whole, or free?

  • If I truly honored my inner divinity, what would I stop tolerating?

The suppressed Divine within is not lost. It is waiting. Waiting for your permission to take up space.
To lead. To remind you that your deepest truth isn’t something to find, it’s something to remember.

You don’t need to become more.
You need to come home...

Invisible tattoos

-
Image
Not all ink is visible.  Some tattoos are carved in silence.  Etched beneath the skin.  Burned into memory, not flesh.  We all carry them, invisible tattoos.  Stories we don’t tell.  Pain we’ve adapted to.  Moments that left a mark, even if no one else can see it. These aren’t badges. They’re not for display, but they are there shaping how we love, fear, trust, and react. Wounds without bandages: The world often honors visible pain. A cast on a broken arm. Tears in public. An obvious loss.  But what about heartbreaks no one witnessed?  The silent betrayals?  The anxiety hidden behind jokes?  The grief that doesn't have a funeral? Invisible tattoos form from the things we couldn’t say when we needed to. From the resilience we were forced to build. From the survival that came with a price.  And just because they’re unseen doesn’t mean they’re not deep. The art of adaptation: These inner marking...

Disrespectful respect

-

We’re often taught that “respect” is a virtue. A mark of maturity. A foundation for connection. But sometimes, what we call “respect” is actually something else entirely: avoidance, fear, self-abandonment, or compliance dressed in polite behavior.  Disrespectful respect is the kind of "respect" that honors others while quietly dishonoring the self.  It is the moment we smile when we feel violated. It is the silence we offer in the face of injustice.  It is the deferential tone we adopt to avoid confrontation, even when our boundaries are being crossed. It is peace on the surface and a storm beneath it. When respect becomes self-betrayal: True respect is mutual. It is rooted in honesty, boundaries, and dignity on both sides.  Disrespectful respect emerges when: We suppress our truth to “keep the peace” We allow manipulation or mistreatment under the guise of being “respectful” We equate silence with virtue We uphold hierarchy over humanity We giv...

Bad to the bone

There’s a sickness beneath the surface of modern civilization, a quiet rot spreading through our institutions, relationships, and communities. You don’t have to look far to see it, cruelty disguised as commentary, betrayal normalized in love, profit prioritized over people. Somewhere along the way, the social fabric began to fray, and now, the seams are splitting. Are we inherently bad to the bone? The desensitization of the soul:  Every headline bleeds, every feed scrolls by with one more tragedy, and every time, we care a little less. We’ve been conditioned to accept the unacceptable, to justify mistreatment if it aligns with our team, our tribe, our side. Decency becomes conditional, kindness reserved for the deserving, but who decides who deserves it? In this new world, empathy feels old-fashioned, integrity seems naïve.  Compassion = Weakness. The collapse of collective responsibility:  We no longer see ourselves in one another. We walk past suffering. We scroll pas...
