Notice the patterns in your life.
They are your clearest pointers
I am closest to self
when the heaviness in my head
makes me want to go to bed.
I am closest to soul
before the thoughts of the day
creep in to take my mindfulness away.
I am closest to god
when all is gone
and I can bask in the knowing
we’re all one.

In the boundless cosmos of our existence, patterns serve as celestial guides, illuminating the path to deeper self-awareness and understanding. These patterns, often subtle and intricate, are the threads that weave the whimsiweave of our life’s journey. They hold profound insights into our relationship with the self, the soul, and the divine.
Patterns: Celestial Guides in Our Life’s Journey
The sentiment of being closest to oneself in moments of heaviness and introspection is a powerful reflection of our human condition. It is in these quiet, introspective periods that we confront our true selves, unmasked and unadorned by the distractions of the external world. This confrontation, though often challenging, is a vital step in our journey towards self-realization.
Introspection: A Path to Self-Realization
Similarly, the proximity to the soul in the early moments of wakefulness, before the day’s thoughts and distractions take hold, speaks to the purity of our consciousness. In these fleeting moments, we are unburdened by the constructs and concerns of our daily lives, allowing our soul to resonate in its purest form.
Early Wakefulness: Purity of Consciousness
The concept of being closest to the divine when all is stripped away, leaving a state of oneness, aligns with many spiritual and philosophical teachings. In the absence of material distractions, ego, and individual desires, we find a profound connection with the universe. This connection transcends the individual, merging our consciousness with the greater whole.
Oneness: Transcending the Individual
Each of these states — closeness to self, soul, and the divine — reflects a different aspect of our journey through the cosmos. The self represents our individual identity and experiences, the soul embodies our deeper consciousness and intuition, and the divine symbolizes our connection to the universe and the essence of all existence.

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
– Carl Jung
In the silence of the mind,
We find our true self, unconfined.
In the dawn’s gentle embrace,
Our soul speaks, face to face.
In the void, we are one,
With the stars, moon, and sun.
Space Monkey gazes, wise and kind,
In ourselves, the universe we find.
We invite your insights on the relationship between self, soul, and the divine, and how patterns in our life guide us on this journey.
