The "Essence of Spirituality" podcast, hosted by Apostle Michelle, invites listeners on a profound journey inward to explore the depths of the soul and strengthen their divine connection. In this episode, Apostle Michelle shares a channeled message and a modern parable from Jesus, emphasizing the importance of rediscovering God's image within oneself. The parable in this episode unfolds in a bustling city consumed by technology, where Jesus observes people engrossed in their digital devices, seeking answers to life's mysteries. In a modern-day square surrounded by skyscrapers, Jesus addresses the crowd, urging them to recognize that God's divine essence resides within each person. He contrasts the external search for answers in the virtual realm with the truth lying within the core of their being. Jesus uses a metaphor of a man with a powerful computer to convey the idea that, like divine computers, individuals must turn inward to access the inner workings of their being. The parable encourages people to seek stillness within themselves, where the voice of God whispers the truths of their existence. As the people ponder Jesus' words, a quiet realization settles within their hearts. They begin to disconnect from the external world's noise and turn their attention inward, discovering a profound connection to the divine. The parable concludes with Jesus leaving the crowd with a newfound understanding: the image of God resides not in the external world but in the depths of the human soul. Following the parable, practical ways to connect with the divine essence are outlined:Meditation and Mindfulness, Reflective Journaling, Contemplative Prayer, Nature Connection, Self-Reflection Questions, Acts of Kindness and Compassion, Silent Retreats, Mind-Body Practices, Study Sacred Texts, Community and Spiritual Fellowship The podcast emphasizes that rediscovering the divine image within is a personal and ongoing process, requiring commitment to self-awareness, spiritual practices, and a willingness to explore the depths of one's own soul.To watch episodes on YouTube go to: https://www.youtube.com/@apostlemichelle/podcasts
