From a new perspective, divinity of all things become obvious

Once upon a mystic graffiti 

After a week of spiritual education at Unity of Palo Alto, California, I was open and experiencing an spiritual awakening. It happened on the trip home, I was a passenger in a car, and we passed a truck on the freeway that had graffiti on it. In the enlightened state of awareness, I knew that everything, even if I had previously judged it otherwise, was in fact, divine. I felt an overwhelming sense that everything, each and every part of the graffiti on a truck on a random Los Angeles freeway, had a purpose and a reason to be there. At that moment, I felt aligned to each part of the universe. I had an awareness that everywhere I was at, I was at that place at the right time for a reason. 

Each of the paint here seems so random, but it is apart of a greater pattern of divinity. 

Is everything divine?

Yes, everything is divine. We are divine. Each piece of the physical universe that we interact with is exactly where it is supposed to be. There is nothing that could happen in the "wrong" way. This concept is the one that I struggle with when I think of people hurting. I have a great sense of compassion. Everything is divine isn't just a thought I throw around for the fun of it. When I am most aligned with the God of my being, I experience a world that is divine. For me it feels almost like a heightened state of awareness and sometimes I experience these as almost glimpses to what is always possible: living in a state of full integration with the essence of the God of my being.

If everything is divine - what is divinity? How can anything be divine if everything is divine?

The idea here is that sometimes if too many "things" are the same "thing" - it lessens the value of that "thing". Divinity is the very substance of the universe, I believe in a higher intelligence that runs through each part of the universe that is apart of a divine pattern. This idea of a limited divinity also speaks to a concept that divinity is something "over there". I don't know what each atom in the universe is made of, but the source of it I know for sure - this is the same divine source that I am made of. I do not think that divinity is like the concept of a stock - that there could be less of it and therefore it would be something there could be more of or less of. Awareness allows the opportunity for us to filter our experience of and with the divine. 

How could possibly everything be divine?

It is easy when you are asking this question to point to the many obvious things in the universe that aren't divine. There is a nearly in-exhaustive treasure trove of "bad things" to rule out the concept that everything is divine. From the personal internal self doubting voices in our minds to a garden variety of pain and death and wild unfairness in the world creates easy evidence about a lack of divinity. My knowing of the divinity comes from facing horrific situations that created a faith rooted in the certainty of my divinity and the divine substance in all of the universe. Through awareness of my divinity I am able to overcome anything. Our divinity, our light is present and active in everything and constantly evolving into a greater expression of this divinity.
