Are We There Yet?

On A Mission to Find Our Life’s Purpose

 

“The human mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

— Oliver Wendall Holmes

 

“When our lives are given to the Holy Spirit to use for (ITs) purposes, new talents emerge within us. We don’t get our lives together and then give them to God, but rather we give our lives to God (Source) and then things start coming together. As our hearts open, our talents and gifts begin to blossom.”

— A Year of Daily Wisdom by Marianne Williamson (paraphrased)

 

“We will discover the nature of our particular genius

when we stop trying to conform to our own or other people’s models,

learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.”

— Shakti Gawain

 

Recently I was involved in a discussion regarding the mission of finding ones life purpose. This is obviously of great interest as we can see many books and information that are based on how to know by finding the answer to this question.

 

I’ve noticed that it usually begins with a growing sense of dissatisfaction with my ‘ordinary’ current life experience as it is known in this moment. Thoughts begin to come into my awareness like I desire more meaning in life, I either like or don’t like what I am doing yet I know that I am here to do more by experiencing more. What is it? The restlessness is consistently building within. Nothing seems to satisfy me and I find myself at times in moments of complete boredom and frustration. Nothing seems interesting to me. A growing desire is there for something but nothing seems to be fitting that desire.

 

I am Being in a state of not knowing. And I am wrestling with it.

 

I have shared that Nature has been an amazing teacher for me. By understanding the cycles and seasons we can see the process of Life in active motion and learn how to go with it. A deeper trust growing our faith as we learn to understand that each and every experience is a stepping stone of this journey leading us to the discovery of our Authentic Self.

 

There is a season to plant, grow, harvest, rest and nurture then begin anew.

 

We want shortcuts, and we want it now. So we go about taking quizzes and psychological tests and trying out all sorts of things to find out how we operate in our own unique way. We seek to understand what makes us tick, who we are, what are we passionate about, what do we love?

 

I call this going through the menu of life. A sifting and sorting process.

Keep what is you in the moment and leave the rest.

 

Each experience is uncovering or unfolding our gifts and talents and abilities that we desire to put to ‘good’ use which seems hidden from us in this moment.

 

What I have been made aware of through observing my life and the life of those around me is that we tend to find things to constantly distract and busy us which sets us on a vicious cycle of searching that then leads to worry, angst and despair. We tend to create problems that needs solving or fixing. Have you ever noticed this? It tends to wear us out. We become weary in our minds and then our emotions reinforce this weariness and eventually it shows up in our bodies with little or no energy to do anything at all and sometimes we find ourselves with an illness or dis-ease, physical or mental.

 

An unspoken need to rest and do nothing being created by our Authentic Self.

 

A Divinely Intended opportunity to call oneself back from the leaving pieces of oneself behind in scattered emotionally charged experiences.

 

It is the moment to Be alone or All One.

 

As I continue to observe myself and have seen myself in moments of this state of unrest, I can in Inner Communication understand how this came about via my thinking and am good at making it seem to keep me from where I was desiring to be.

 

Being in My Rightful Place.

Being my Authentic Creative Self.

 

By allowing Love based creativity to flow, express, uninterrupted by keeping the the tap of my connection to Source open, Love is following Its natural course and is flowing from and towards my Being which is leading to my Highest Potential naturally serving in purpose for the Highest Good of All. It’s Love based in Its intention.

 

You are Being in a restful state of Peace and Joy. Resting comes from Trusting that All is already Well and Divinely Planned in life. I have a purpose for Being here and this is true for all who share this planet.

 

I have shared here about being conditioned by external influences. Has anyone ever said to you at any time in your life, statements such as, ‘you can’t do that or you’ll never be able to do that?, you’re not smart enough, talented enough, you don’t know what you are doing or talking about? Your head is in the clouds aka you’re dreaming?

 

Little seeds of doubt being planted by those who have forgotten their own feelings of passion and perhaps if you live yours then they will be able to see that they are not living theirs. It is Fear based in its intention.

 

When we go on autopilot these seeds are allowed to grow unawares if left unattended.

 

When we sense the growing unrest, the boredom, the lack of vitality or Energy, the I don’t know what to do or what I want to do thoughts, this is showing us that we are out of touch, communication with our Authentic Self who always knows what to do.

 

We cannot connect with our Authentic Self if we are not focused on our Inner State of Being where our True Nature resides. We are allowing all manner of thoughts to cut in line without taking into account whether our thoughts are lifting us up or depleting us with their messages.

 

Again, by practicing taking ourselves off autopilot we are able to focus on the thoughts streaming through. This is where the writing down of ones thoughts streaming through especially upon rising is very beneficial. You will be surprised at what is revealed or showing up on the page. It reveals what is in ones bag they are carrying around.

 

This is not conscious writing. It is just flow writing whatever is passing through your mind in the moment. You will recognize the ‘peanut gallery’ in there.

 

Once you begin to be aware of your thoughts, you can now begin to stay consciously aware of them and align them with your Authentic Nature’s Mind as is shared in the Sacred Prayers in this blog.

http://www.you-nique-by-design.com/Spiritual%20Growth/the-sacred-prayers/

I have taken 3X5 cards and written the entire Sacred Prayer thoughts down one at a time, practicing them until they became first language to me. Asking for Divine Spirit to breathe life into these words within my Being.

 

I am Eternal. (Child of God)

 

I am Immortal. (Child of God)

 

I am Universal. (Child of God)

 

I am Infinite. (Child of God)

 

One at a time until they will immediately come to mind in the moments when the Inner Critic raises it voice.

 

Practicing them allows them to become more and more first nature response.

 

These words will lift your Spirit and remove the weight of unworthiness that is falsely ingrained in each of us from the conventional thinking of society. Feel the words. This is our true language. It is the language of the Heart and it is felt and known.

 

See for yourself.

 

I will say that in the beginning, it may feel a little uncomfortable to say and think these thoughts. Ask for Divine Discernment and Wisdom to know what is True and not true. You are answered as you ask.

 

Your Higher Self will not lead you astray nor deceive you.

 

Your Highest Potential and Good are Its only purpose.

 

Once you have established your Rightful Nature, you are open to the leading of your Higher or Authentic Self because it remains in Constant contact with Source for your well-being. You can relax into the flow of Source because you are now open to IT.

 

You will find yourself Just being yourself without any agendas. Just showing up and participating in the moment. Naturally gravitating towards your desired experience and outcome.

 

 

Children naturally allow their experieces to unfold and then let them go. They are feeling oriented. They naturally radiate their energy based on what they are experiencing. Naturally calm, or gregarious, sometimes irritated, sad or tired. They respond to their moment and then forget it. Have you ever seen a child who played so hard that they have fallen asleep on the spot? See how peaceful they are as they rest. They trust completely that All is Well. We are children. We just forget.

 

Do you ever wonder why this is their natural essence or State of Being? I have.

So in Asking about these things I was shown to be more observant, pay attention.

 

Children come into this world with only their bare physical bodies housing their Spirit Energy.

They do not wonder if they will be fed or clothed or where they will live and in their most formative moments do not ask for anything at all. They already have it. They are the complete picture of Trust. Their imaginations are vivid and active and they are experiencing what they are creating in the moment. They do not consider anything impossible at all. Each day upon arising they cannot wait to have more fun exploring their imaginations.

 

The world is their oyster. They trust and know it to be so. They are relaxed in their trusting.

 

We are these children. We just forget.

 

Younger children describe the experiences of their day by the feeling of the events. Just listen and observe them. They uniquely animate their experiences. And then they let them go. Younger children do not seem to remember inconsequential details of their day.

 

Ask them what they ate for lunch and most cannot remember. Ask them a feeling question about their day and they will remember and when the day is past, it’s over.

 

Each day begins anew with children. An open palette.

 

We are these children, we just forget.

 

So, in responding to the question of ‘what is my life’s purpose?’

 

We are living it now. Are you In Joying your life or are you dissatisfied with your life?

 

What is defining your experience?

 

Your feeling based thoughts as your are relating to your Source.

Trusting or untrusting?

 

Are you peaceful in this moment or full of striving and unrest?

 

Ask to know the source of your emotions. What are they based on?

 

We begin to experience the ‘what are you going to be when you grow up’ questions.

 

Not allowing the natural abilities and talents and gifts to follow their unfolding course, we continue to put pressure on ourselves and now we are presented with the idea of having to ‘figure something out in order to survive in this world’ which leads us to searching for something that is already innate if we will only follow our Heart’s leading. Our passion, our joy of Being expressing. This can and does if allowed to continue, lead us to ‘wanting’ it all mapped out and ‘needing’ a planned agenda, like a mission to be pursued and it now becomes a mission impossible because of the underlying feeling of angst and striving to have to survive that accompany this way of thinking.

This is not living. It is about surviving. Big difference.

 

Something changed. From Being supported to now ‘needing’ to survive.

 

This life is not about surviving. All our needs are provided for if we know and trust our Divine Source of All Living. Our True Connection.

 

When we are open to the stream, all angst and stress eventually dissipate and now we are able to live in our Authentic Power as co-creators with our Creator of Origin.

 

Life imitates art. It is full of sound, color, light, energy experiences.

 

We align our experiences with the Energy we are expressing. We are naturally drawn to our unique experience. There is no doubt. We feel it emoting from the very Center of our Being. Like a child.

 

A child of God Most High. God as in our Heavenly Parent.

 

Whom delights in giving us the Desires of our Heart. Our hearts are One in desire with our Parent.

 

As a parent, I only desire for my children to have the best experiences in life which leads to their Highest Potential. An earthly picture of a Spiritual existence.

 

Are we there yet?

 

Yes. When we decide to tap into and draw from the Account with our name on it and use what is our Natural Inheritance.

 

Are we spending our Allowance freely or hoarding it away for another ‘time’?

 

You will know your Life’s purpose and mission when you know yourself. This can only be known by spending time being alone (all one) with your thoughts and sifting and sorting.

 

Keep the gems and return the unusable portions back to where they belong.

 

Now is the perfect moment to reconnect and reunite with your Authentic Self by bringing all the gold pieces of yourself you have left scattered somewhere else in the past back into the Present Oneness of Now Being.

 

Be Here Now and You Will Know. Clarity, focus, clear vision. Ask.

 

You will be able to see yourself in the mirror looking back at you.

 

Take your rightful place as Child of God by Divine Inheritance,

 

Many Blessings, Be Well,

 

InJoy the uncovering your Authentic Self today,

 

Trust that your mission is being accomplished,

 

All is Well,
