Purpose

When we chose Earth as a playground, we selected a role to explore throughout our many lifetimes. This is considered a cycle of experience. Knowing and understanding your role is helpful because it opens a pathway of energy that allows you to fully embrace your true nature. The seven roles (as interpreted using The Michael Teachings) are: Server, Artisan, Warrior, Scholar, Priest, Sage and King.

When you embark upon the quest of self-discovery, you’ll likely notice that many different modalities point you to a similar type of analysis. Astrology, Numerology, The Michael Teachings, and Human Design (as well as systems from times and cultures too countless to mention) all provide insightful pieces of knowledge that align with one another. As you discover information that resonates with that of your inner wisdom, your purpose will become clear.

For some, this means that finding their unique voice might compel them to reject cultural or familial expectations. But once you truly know yourself and embrace your purpose, something powerful falls into place. You can be authentic and consistent as you share your gifts, balance karma and move to higher levels of consciousness.

No matter what unfolds in our collective experience, the roles will blend perfectly, each of us integrating and contributing to the awakening of all.

Sharing Laughter

“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.”
~Kahlil Gibran~
Pure laughter based in love is powerful. It can dispel fear or sadness in an instant or transform strangers into friends. It lightens the stories of the ego and reduces stress while shifting us to higher levels of consciousness. But laughter, like all things of value, must begin within. It’s important not to take yourself too seriously. Under the weight of perceived flaws and lessons, beneath the gravity of life situations, resides an eternal source of joy.
Life is filled with paradoxes and contrasts and it’s helpful to expand your perception to recognize the myriad choices which are available to you. Consciously choose to bring lightness into the patterns of your life. The more balance you create through your interpretation of your various day-to-day experiences, the more magical your journey becomes.
Forgiveness, acceptance, mindfulness and Presence open passageways into a new reality. There we can connect to one another in a manner that is empowered, open and loving. Let laughter be the bridge between the spiritual and the mundane.

The Creator

“When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. The realm of Being, which had been obscured by the mind, then opens up. Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you, an unfathomable sense of peace. And within that peace, there is great joy. And within that joy, there is love. And at the innermost core, there is the sacred, the immeasurable, That which cannot be named.”
~Eckhart Tolle~ 

As we integrate the various aspects of the Self, inner mastery and balance ignites spiritual maturity. The conscious creator learns how to harness the fiery energy within and steps into the role of conscious creator. Passion transforms into powerful creativity rather than the destructive force of the uninitiated, and from there we can express ourselves in ways that are both enriching and fulfilling.

To be your authentic self in the midst of conformity is to reveal a masterpiece of the divine. The dance of awakening activates the mystic, the shaman, the creator who knows how to drop the ego and receive. There is nothing missing. We just need to continue to work on the inner plane and recognize who we are at the deepest level.

Passion and Purpose

“Live the Life of Your Dreams: Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of others.”
~Roy T. Bennett~

 

Passion is the fire that sparks movement, experience, and ultimately, wisdom. Since our only true purpose is to awaken, why not make the journey of discovery playful – a celebration of joy?  Life will always present contrasting experiences. We can choose to approach challenges with an open heart and bring compassion into our expression of being.
The paradox of human experience calls upon us to simultaneously be sympathetic and helpful to those who are in pain while consciously keeping ourselves balanced. Reactivity brings energy to lower vibrations. We simply cannot be as effective in a state of reaction as we are when aligned with our passion, purpose and inner wisdom.
The key is to appreciate the beauty in each moment. To live deeply immersed in the Now brings a sense of joy into the daily activities of your life. Then, whatever actions you choose to take will be infused with the wholeness of your spirit. This is the process of transforming your life into an empowered dance of awakening.

Journey to Yourself

“…every path toward self-discovery is a valid one.”
~Efrat Cybulkiewicz~

No matter what path you choose, challenges you face, or friends you discover along the way… all eventually lead you on an amazing journey of discovery. Perceived wrong turns or mistakes can be transformed into adventures. Blockages unlock ingenuity and inner strength. The resilience of your soul is ready to shine.

Rather than getting lost in the stories of old wounds or limited programming, use them as the impetus for change. Consider that your soul set itself upon this journey and that it plays a vital purpose in your development. When you begin utilizing tools at your disposal, you’ll discover the perfection that resides within the foundational energy of your life.

Each piece of wisdom we uncover becomes a stepping-stone to the next, and the next. The journey of awakening is unique and beautiful. Find your passions, walk forward with courage and integrity and see what you discover. The tendency of an old soul is to explore all sorts of belief systems, teachers, experiences and ideas, gathering nuggets of inspiration along the way. Be led by joy. The journey of self discovery is more beautiful than you can possibly imagine.

What Bees Teach

“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don’t they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.”

~Ray Bradbury~

I enjoy beginning each day in gratitude and laughter, honoring the perfection of the changing seasons… Lately, the blooming trees and flowers tell me that spring has arrived. I often pause throughout my walk to appreciate the colors, listen to the soft drone of bees, delight in the antics of birds and bunnies and squirrels as clouds paint pictures in the sky.

Life is a conversation with the Divine. We can choose to be open and receptive or caught up in thought. It’s interesting to notice how often the ego seeks to distract us from simple pleasures. Bees teach us to love our work, to do what is best for our collective experience and are a consistent reminder that the smallest things are often the most important.

Choose to immerse yourself in wonder. Find your own pathway through life’s magic and deeply engage with the power of the present moment. From there, any action you take will hold powerful intention and passion. You are one with everything.

Flowing With Change

“It’s amazing the synchronicities that can happen when we embark on a journey with open hearts, with supportive friends by our side, ready for adventure.”

~Laurie E. Smith~

Our grandest adventures often begin with an intuitive whisper. Something calls us to embark upon a new phase and often we begin without knowing exactly how everything will pull together. These first steps may be tentative; however, each step sparks new energy in motion. Coincidences, synchronicities, and creativity come together, allowing us to discover some new skill or passion as we experiment with various ideas.

We become more proficient with change when we hold no cherished outcome. Allow your vision to adjust as you learn more about yourself. This approach creates an ego-free mental environment where exploration can combine with inspiration. As a conscious creator, you will discover new ways to enjoy utilizing your talents. Aristotle once said, “Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your vocation.” You bring something to the world that no one else can.

It matters not whether you find your gifts early or late in life. The joy is in the discovery. Follow the flow and heed the calling of your heart.

Celebrate Your Uniqueness

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
~Robert Fulgham~

Balance isn’t something that just happens when life falls into place; rather, it is the foundation of a life that is grounded, joyful and complete. Much of the world’s angst comes from the desire to please or care for others at the expense of one’s own happiness. People struggle to satisfy perceived expectations and often put their needs on pause.

The challenges we face help us to discern what is important to create and maintain balance. How would you discover your boundaries if someone or something didn’t cross them from time to time? See those who challenge you as healing angels rather than frustrations. They are teaching you what is truly important.

The awakening spirit understands that fulfillment comes through finding their own unique way of being in the world. There is great beauty to be discovered throughout the journey inward. As you create balance by tending to the needs of body, mind and spirit, you’ll find that you have more to give those you love – more compassion, patience and kindness. Then life becomes an outward expression of your joy.

Unlimited Movement

You are meant to live an unlimited life. To live without limitation means that you allow room for surprises, movement and passion. The Tao speaks of purposefully being like a river – endlessly moving, flowing with ease, alive to life itself. When life is too predictable, there is no dynamism and we become stagnant; therefore, the soul craves and creates movement to ensure that we are consistently in the process of allowing the Divine to express itself through us.

Infinite possibilities await. Within the contrasts of all that we experience lies the wisdom of the ages. As we become more conscious, our ability to flow becomes more profound. We choose how we respond to life, how we think and act, and how we process new information. Those who are still unconscious have no knowledge of this ability – to them, life presents experience and they are in a constant state of reaction, fear or regret. Allow your choices to be led by love.

Start being blissful now, don’t wait. Live each moment as if it were your last – embrace the gifts, share your light and celebrate the uniqueness of your journey with the knowledge that nothing is more important than your joy.

Taste the Nectar of Life

“Bees are a recurring symbol of the Merovingians and the humming or buzzing sound of bees is likened to supersensible “sounds” experienced by many Sufis as they enter spirit realms.”

~Laurence Galian~

In many cultures, bee represents the importance of drinking the nectar of life. They taste through their feet and dance from flower to flower, pollinating, creating, and ultimately creating sweetness to share.

Allow joy to emanate from the eternal, timeless, spark of life within you and infuse it in your work and passions. Don’t be so consumed by time and desire that you forget you are eternal.

You are a master in the process of awakening, a beautiful masterpiece coming alive, each line drawn through the gift of experience. When you quietly do your inner work and allow the infinite energy of the Divine to flow through you, your actions will be guided by love, kindness and joy. Work, done for the joy of the moment, ceases to feel like work. It becomes a living expression of your vibrant and beautiful energy.

Once you discover your purpose, give your heart to it. Immerse yourself within the moment, be led by love and enter the realm of pure potential.
