Discovering Life's Purpose

Looking everywhere for the purpose of life is like pushing on a door that actually opens inward in a very natural way. You can push forever and never open a door that opens inwardly! It’s really sad that many very enlightened people push so hard and finally end up only with glowing generalities about their life's purpose, which often don’t have any particular personal applications.

No spiritual guru, besides the one that resides within, can tell us our soul’s intention. However, the good news is that since it’s between us and our higher selves, we aren’t just objective bystanders trying to discover something objective. In fact, when it comes to ourselves, there really is no “objective” reality!

After pondering Soul’s intention my entire life, what I came up with was that our desires and preferences are about as good an indication of what direction we’re supposed to go in as we can get. If you think about it, the desires we had when we planned our life contract are probably very similar to the ones we feel most strongly today. So, instead of spending so much effort searching for some hidden meaning, maybe we should quit fighting ourselves and just give into our hearts desire.

Still, what about our higher purpose? This is where people get hung up. “I know what I want to do, but I want to know what I’m supposed to do?” I felt that way my entire life until a prelife channeled experience revealed what my higher self wanted for me for this lifetime. It was simple. My higher purpose is to help anchor the rising energy of the earth and those on it, so we can all get through this transition (which lasts from about the time I was born until about 5-6 years from now) as easily as possible.

When I asked how I could do that, the answer was basically to stay happy. When I’m happy, my energy is up and I’m fulfilling my higher purpose. How do I keep my energy up? That's the interesting part -- by trusting my deepest inclinations and doing what I want to do. Doing waht i want to do fulfills my personal purposes and staying in a positive, energetic frame of mind fulfills my higher purpose.

This isn’t a coincidence! Life isn’t the battle between good and evil that most of us were taught. Conflict is real. Still, the solution of killing all the bad guys is obviously an illusion. Learning to rise above dulaity is simply a matter of reconcillation and cooperation.

We all really need to find harmony within ourselves NOW and do our part to help create it within our society every day from now on if we hope manifest the new world we all want. We all know that the ancient Mayans forecasted that this new beginning would start after 2012. However, what many don’t know is that they also described how it would take place.

It’s not just a matter of astronomical alignments. They described this current cycle as a time when communication within ourselves and between all of us would become much better. They knew how this new level of honesty and communication would build the foundation for our new world.

Yet, even though this new foundation is part of our forseeable, natural human cycle, foundations don’t just lay themselves. We all need to learn to listen to our hearts and trust our divine desires.

Once you really accept that you are the originator of your purpose, you stop looking outside yourself for that answer. I’m probably a little lazier now than I used to be, but I think that’s part of the plan too. As we run out of energy to search the world for purpose, we discover that our answers are (as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz put it) “…in our backyard,” and “There’s no place like home!”

Living Consciously – Rising Above Duality

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” – Jimmie Hendrix

We’ve analyzed our lives and separated the good from the bad, fighting the bad at every turn for countless lifetimes, and where has it gotten us? Personally, I remember a past life in which I fought in the Bolshevik Revolution. History records that the government we helped install quickly folded, and the experimental socialistic government that replaced it was also doomed to a slow death.

I was told in channeling that the Dowager Empress Marie (Anastasia’s grandmother), was working behind the scenes to make the same changes that all of us revolutionaries wanted. I also discovered that this woman who I thought was the enemy was a close member of my soul family who, incidentally, reincarnated as my daughter in this lifetime. Yet, I helped cause her demise because I thought I knew what was right and what wasn’t at the time. Oopse.

That’s just one example of when commitment to fight turned out to be more of a fight against a cycle and circumstance than it was a fight against any real evil. Now, I firmly believe that when we decide to battle evil, we set ourselves up for losing the war. The illusion of evil is probably one of the biggest tests in this dualistic world!

After fighting wars since before recorded history, maybe now we’re beginning to become open to a better way. Maybe someday soon, we’ll open our minds enough to look for what’s good instead of giving in to the instinct to fight what appears not to be.

It’s easy to let disappointment in ourselves and others can capture our attention. It’s instinct to draw a line in the sand between good and bad and then fight the endless evil our entire lives – lifetime after lifetime. However, if we give into that focus, we’ll never create the loving space we all want. Many are discovering that now, and the world is about to experience an amazing transformation as we approach 2012 and many of us turn in our traditional weapons for the soft and subtle ways of peace and harmony.
