In a world that often feels devoid of soul and spirit, it can be easy to lose sight of the sacredness that resides within each of us. However, the key to alchemizing this soul-less world lies in treating everyone as if they are sacred until the sacred inside of them remembers.
What does it mean to treat someone as if they are sacred? It means recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their background, beliefs, or circumstances. It means approaching others with compassion, kindness, and respect, acknowledging the divine spark that exists within each of us.
When we treat others as if they are sacred, we are not only honoring their humanity but also helping to awaken the sacred within them. This is a profound act of alchemy, as it has the power to transform relationships, communities, and ultimately, the world.
But how do we embody this principle in our daily lives? How do we treat others as if they are sacred, even when they may not act in a way that reflects their sacred nature?
It starts with cultivating a mindset of reverence and appreciation for the diversity of human experience. It involves practicing empathy and seeking to understand others' perspectives, even when they differ from our own. It means choosing love over judgment, kindness over cruelty, and forgiveness over resentment.
Treating others as if they are sacred also requires us to look within and recognize the sacredness within ourselves. It is a reminder that we are all interconnected, that our actions and words have the power to uplift or harm others, and that we have a responsibility to act with integrity and compassion.
As we strive to alchemize a soul-less world, let us remember the words of L.R. Knost: "Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you."
Together, let us treat everyone as if they are sacred, until the sacred inside of them remembers. In doing so, we can create a world that is filled with love, compassion, and reverence for all beings.
With love and light,
The Kizen Koach
