This book enlightened me in profound ways, transforming my outlook on life and my understanding of the ‘Divine Presence’ we call ‘God.’ It opened my mind to the possibility that I hadn’t fully grasped what it means to be truly centered. It also introduced me to the universal principles of the divine feminine and masculine.

Certainly! Here’s a revised version:

I grew up Christian, but in my early 20s, despite going to church regularly, I began to drift away from it. The weight of everyday stress and a recent split from my first child’s parent left me struggling to hold myself together. It took nearly two years of rebuilding my mind, day by day, while still unable to see my child or reclaim most of the possessions I had accumulated since high school. There’s much more to the story, but I’ll spare the details. Suffice it to say, I relied on my faith in God to get through it all.

I remember being 8 or 9 years old when one of the pastors asked me, after a prayer, if I had felt Jesus enter my heart. My answer then, and now, is yes. I vividly recall the feeling—a profound sense of love and an otherworldly energy that seemed to imprint itself on me. As a young child, I didn’t fully understand what that energy was, but as I grew older, I began searching for answers. I attended different churches, each one a step on my journey.

There was a time when I found myself homeless, and churches became one of the few places where I could find the resources I needed to survive. They provided a hot meal, a caring community, and a place where I felt genuinely cared for. Even when you didn’t have it all together, there was no harsh judgment—only concern, prayer, and often, a comforting hug. During the lowest point in my life, I was surrounded by people who had the greatest impact on me.

It was during that time when most of my “happenings” began, gradually pulling me away from the “Traditional Christian God” and toward mythological gods. Interestingly, it wasn’t the churches that distanced me from traditional Christianity but rather the understanding that there are significant differences between figures like Buddha, Joseph Smith, Jesus Christ, Zeus, Odin, and many other deities I’ve even written posts about in the past. That’s how my journey of expansion began. It started in high school, where I learned about Egyptian gods like Ra and Thoth, as well as Greek and Roman gods. This curiosity sparked a deep interest in exploring different religions, and it has been a journey ever since.

Even now, I feel blessed every single day, no matter what. Sure, there are areas of my life that could use some change—perhaps I need to put in more effort when I feel like I’m running out of steam. I definitely need to practice focusing better; some days, my mind is as scattered as a squirrel’s from a modern day cartoon.

As I continued to explore different religions and philosophies, I realized that my ultimate purpose was tied to something greater than myself. I am trying—every day—to pour every last ounce of my being into my kids’ future. They are the ones I want to see living a better life, and I want to be the one who helps ensure they achieve it. I want them to experience things I wasn’t fortunate enough to see, and I want us to witness those things together.

I believe that’s how many people envision their future—to leave behind a legacy or make a meaningful contribution to the world. Yet, sometimes, we have to accept that things are temporary and won’t last forever. I also need to remind myself that sometimes we chase materialistic principles. But I believe the ones I’m pursuing are necessary for a better life, and my ultimate goal is to help others along the way. No matter how I might feel on any given day, I still resort back to the principles I’ve learned from the teachings of this book.
