What Is My Life Purpose

Spirituality is the only thing that brings lasting purpose into life. Spiritual beings are aware of themselves as soul and spirit beings, therefore their eternal essence. Each physical incarnation is a short experience in the framework of soul existence. When we seek to find purpose in our life, we are actually seeking to discover our soul and spirit self.

"What am I supposed to be doing?" we ask ourselves as we seek to find meaning in our outside world. We want to make a difference in life and we want to leave a legacy of sorts. All of this is very noble and hopefully useful to the next generations to come, but without the awareness of spirit there is nothing to move onto after death.

Most people assume that when they die there will be an automatic experience that they will just fall into. That somehow god works differently in the afterlife than god does presently. Why they think the rules change after death is beyond me, I think it must be to give people hope. We can create hope here and now. We can create a better life and afterlife for ourselves by understanding the rules and governing laws of the Universe, Cosmos and the Divine while still in physical embodiment.

We often begin by awakening to the fact that all life is made up of energy and that we are energetic beings. We have many different levels of energy and can learn to explore advance and evolve them. As we learn about this process we find purpose in the learning.

When we were young, we were supposed to find purpose in learning and also find joy. I suppose that that was okay until about the third grade for most people. After that learning became drudgery, or a honed skill, but little joy or individual purpose came with it.

In the spiritual realm of learning, the process of joy in discovery is renewed. Finding ones purpose takes on a whole new light and direction. Direction is what most individuals seek in life; direction and fulfillment. We want to be free to be who we are, but that cannot happen until we discover the whole of what that means on all levels of our energetic being.

We are mind, body, soul and spirit. All of these are our energetic makeup. All must be fed, nurtured and developed as well as acknowledged if we are to grow intellectually, physically, and spiritually. When we are in good spiritual health but bad mental health we are out of balance and therefore feel as if we have no purpose in life. It is the same with when we are in poor physical health and discover that this effects our mental and spiritual health as well. In order to find purpose in life we must take responsibility for taking care of ourselves on these particular levels of being.

The soul is our record keeper and contains all the information we are seeking to help enlighten ourselves. When we discover how much joy enlightenment can bring, we then of course, want to take it to world. So often we become frustrated that the daily life around us seems so unwilling to look at enlightenment as an option, to heal and stop all the violence and imbalances that life holds.

If only everyone could see the energy of life as the enlightened ones do, then everything would change course and begin to work as a whole organism rather than a fragmentation. As individuals, we have the capacity to change only our immediate environments and ourselves. And that is even a great challenge.

Finding purpose in life means you must be willing to see through the illusions created in the name of belief and faith and discover the inner truth and light from which you originally emanated. It is about discovering who you are without thinking. It is a re-awakening that takes place in deeper levels of self that you have long ago forgotten about.

Where to look to find this deeper self is the key. Though individuals have fought it for years, meditation and inner work are the key elements needed to free oneself from the old program instilled within us. Generation after generation has implemented various programs of beliefs and understandings that we have taken on and worn as our robe of being while forgotten deep inside, lies the true self.

When all the layers of the onion and baggage have been cleared away we discover the unconditionally loving, innocent and wise soul that we are. Like an emanation and ray of sunlight we begin to beam out our own light once again. We find empowerment and harmony, balance and joy. This is the true purpose of all life. This is what everyone really seeks to remember and embrace.
