We know that spirit is formless and changeless, yet it expresses itself in infinite forms that are constantly changing.

One principle embraced at Maji Mazuri is that you can stagnate by accepting your environmental experiences as truth, or choose to constantly expand into that which is changeless. You can choose to take on a form or decide to live from the formless. You are so much.

From this I have learnt that we don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.

So I’m asking myself daily – “Have you taken a form that has put you in a box or kept you from realizing your unlimited potential? Have you ceased to change or expand your awareness?

I’ve had lots of moments when I’ve gone through this. The good news is I always feel like I can change who I am. And I know you can too. Many of the Maji Mazuri youth in Mathare transend great odds. Their stories remind me every day that if I embrace the limitless potential within me, forces will appear to move me into each next great state of awareness. It’s not always pleasant and painless, but if I let it, the creative nature of the formless spirit within will constantly and consistently fulfill the highest and best good for me. It’s a right of passage to my sacred destiny. I’m grateful I get an incredible community in my journey.
