If you choose, there is a reality where you take everyone off the pedestal. Every teacher. Every leader. Every "guru" and expert, every "voice" and "influencer." You can return them and yourself gently to the ground where humans belong.

To me, to worship a human being is idol worship. We get to choose to only, only, only plug into God, and the piece of God within. We can honor and have deep reverence for others without de-humanizing ourselves or others.

The moment we elevate another above ourselves, or below us, we leak power, we hurt ourselves and others — even if we don't mean it. God does not need to be outsourced. God IS the source.

The age of the guru is over right now if you choose. You can unplug from any person, place, idea, or illusion of savior, and plug back into the source of all things, the king of all kings, the truthiest truth — God.

You can choose to remember that no one stands between you and Source. No intermediary required. Plug directly into God. Into the breath that breathes you. Into the divine intelligence moving through your body, your intuition, your lineage. Into the quiet knowing, that truest essence, that has always been there waiting patiently beneath the noise.

And if we need to plug into someone else to feel safe, we've forgotten who we are. We are pure essence, we are a soul having a human experience, we are a piece of everything. True teachers don't desire your devotion to them. They desire your sovereignty to You. They desire the best for you and for you to have access to all your strength. They do not steal your free will and power from you.

This era isn't about finding the human who knows. It's about remembering that knowing lives within you. Let guidance come from plants, prayer, silence, elders, nature, and lived experience. Let everything you hear on the outside filter through your intuition and inner knowing. Let wisdom be earned through presence.

If you decide, you can choose something brave: No more pedestals. No more projections. No more borrowed authority. Just direct relationship. Human to God. Feet on the earth. Heart open. Empowered.

From this place, may we connect to others, from this place may we have wholesome collaboration, from this place may we be One again. From a place of health, of wholeness, of individuals plugging into God. Plugging out of hierarchy. When you pedestal anyone, it hurts them. It casts them out as other, changes the felt sense of belonging.

May we stand eye to eye and heart to heart and soul to soul with one another, no matter what role we play in each other's lives. May we create together and collaborate from a place of true wholesomeness. May we always remember, as long as we are in this body, we are ALL souls having a HUMAN experience.

We are not so different, you and I... in fact, we are very much the same. Give others space to do their soul’s thing in their souls way. Their thing isn't better or worse than yours. It's simply their soul’s thing.
