Plugging Into God, The True Source of all things: Over Any Person, Place, Thing, or Idea

Nov 26, 2025

In a world overflowing with noise, opinions, expectations, and endless information, plugging into God before anything else becomes not just a spiritual choice-but a lifeline. People come and go. Places shift. Things break. Ideas evolve. Every earthly attachment, no matter how meaningful, is subject to change. God is the one constant whose presence does not flicker, whose power does not drain, and whose love does not wither.

To plug into God is to anchor yourself to the Source before reaching for anything external. It means choosing alignment before action, connection before commitment, stillness before strategy. It's remembering that the inner world you cultivate with the Divine shapes the outer world you experience with everyone and everything else.

When you plug into God, you're not withdrawing from life, from true intimacy, or connection-you're charging for it. You're strengthening your discernment so you can tell the difference between what is truly meant for you, what is truly calling you, and what is merely loud or attractive. You're grounding your emotions so the storms of others don't sweep you into a something that isn't yours.You're protecting your identity from being defined by titles, relationships, or achievements or perceived failures, because you know who you are before you even step into the room. A child of God. You are that you are. I am that I am.

Plugging into God over any person means you aren't building your peace around someone else's presence or stability.

Plugging into God over any place means your sense of belonging comes from the inside out-not from a zip code, a familiarity, or an environment.

Plugging into God over any thing means you recognize that material blessings are tools, not anything more than that.

Plugging into God over any idea means you are guided by truth, not trends, and by wisdom, not the pressure of the moment. Plugging into God means you are plugged into an endless flow of love, abundance, creativity, kindness and true Re-Source.

Outside things come and go. Hashem is constant.

This alignment doesn't distance you from the world and your humanity -it empowers you to love it more deeply. It creates space for your humannees and for your children and inner child to truly be held. When you're connected to God first, you show up fuller, clearer, stronger, and more You. You give without losing yourself. You serve without burning out. You receive without becoming attached. You navigate life with a peace that doesn't shatter when circumstances shift. You don't plug into "healers", gurus, medicine. You are the medicine, the healing, the wisdom. You allow outside medicines and healing to amplify what is already there.

To plug into God is to plug into clarity, strength, love, and purpose. It's choosing the eternal over the temporary, the root over the fruit, the Source over the supply. And from that grounded place, everything else-every relationship, opportunity, challenge, and blessing-flows in its natural order.

From a place that is deeply rooted, endlessly blessed, and authenticly flowering.

As humans, we DO need each other to thrive. But we need each other Re-Sourced, connected to God.

Whole humans, each plugged into source, connecting, nourish one another. When humans plug into other humans it can become really overwhelming really quickly. (You can use the phone for some time, but eventually it's going to need to charge.) Only when we plug into God do we never run out of charge. We are always re-sourced and replenished, and charged up.

The Greatest gift we can give to others, especially those that are vulnerable, (which all of us at different times in our lives) is to empower them not to plug into us but into the Creator. To allow them to be supported, held, felt, loved, and deeply witnessed by us: but not feed the illusion for them (or us) for even a moment in the illusion that we are what is sustaining them. (Especially in personal growth, healing, and therapeutic spaces)

We are the vessel, God is the Source. When we know that in our bones, we are well on our way to embodied wholeness, freedom and TRUE intimacy and connection - intimacy between others who have intimacy with themselves, and their creator is the most delicious, nutritionally dense, nourishing, wonderful kind.

This one of the most important (if not the most important) aspect of my work with 1:1 clients, in group and online classes, and what we create on retreats. The reason why people leave with so much energy and vitality, creativity, courage and a truer sense of self, faith and healing is because they learned how to viscerally and emotionally unplug from any source that isn't the true resource. They don't plug into any of us leading the retreat, they are oriented to not plug into the modalities, or even the sisterhood, those all get to be an experience of overflow and beauty, a real gift - after they plug back into the true Source.

The biggest gift we can give someone is this kind of freedom, to hand them back the keys they may have subconsciously been handing over so they are free to plug back into the true Source that sustains them. Over and over and over again. Only always. Never not.

The Source to true Re-Source, healing, abundance and flow is Hashem.

Be the kind of person that when someone you come across doesn't know God, they come to know God, Because they know you.
