What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
Hello folks,

this is a question I'm sure we all ponder at times .. I know I do..every day!! I often ask myself/the Universe/My helpers from the other side: "What is it I came here to do?" (especially as this is directly related to something I was very clearly told when I had my NDE 21 years ago!)...

anyway.. was just interested in everyone's thoughts about this.. have you found your true Life Purpose? Do you know what you came here to do? Where you always aware of that? or how did you discover it? etc.. etc..

also.. I wonder if any of you are familiar with Dan Millman's book "The Life You Were Born To Live" ? Broadly speaking.. I understand its based on a very particular type of numerology .. but anyway.. I got this a couple of years ago.. and it is STARTLINGLY accurate and revealing... have lent this book out to lots of people, friends, family, neighbours, and they all report back how uncanny it is in its accuracy.. so.. I was wondering if any of you have read it.. and your thoughts on it?

Also, if you're happy to share on here, I think it could be interesting to share our Life Purpose numbers (the ones from Dan's system)?? Might be interesting to see if there's any pattern.. I mean amongst people who have some levels of spiritual awareness and the Life Purpose numerology system ?? Maybe not.. just an idea!

Peace and Blessings

p.s. I'm a '36/9' by the way.. just thought I'd be the first to open up seeing as I started this thread! :original:

I've not read the book mentioned, nor am I familiar with numerology.
As of right now, my main purpose in life is to learn.
From what I've learned thus far, it seems that math was first developed as a way to keep track of betting odds. In other words, numbers are a construct of humanity. Perhaps they 'fit in' so well with nature (ie. Pi, the golden mean, etc)
because both (nature and numbers) exist in our minds only.

The whole concept of "purpose" is indeed interesting.

Well I would be interested to know how he works his numerology out as I haven't read the book:original:. I am a master no 11 based on adding up total birthday which adds to 29 and then reducing to 11.

i felt long ago, to become a spiritual big bang.... sounds weird and i don´t understand that myself. But now that i am on the verge of the singularity it really starts to make sense.

I came to peace with the fact that I don't have any great earth-changing purpose on this earth many years ago. I decided that my purpose may be a small as offering a word of comfort to someone in their time of need. And I realized I not only was happy with that knowledge I was honored to have the opportunity. :original:

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
The intent of this experience, I believe, is to ascend.

Purpose? Does anyone know with conviction outside of a belief system?

Everything observed as a human [by you] has energy and is therefore 'alive'.
If something is alive, it is growing and is therefore moving.
Movement has direction; located in space.
Any direction has a duration; measured in time.
The combination of direction and duration is an experience.
The collection of experiences define the journey up to now.

So, we hold the journey as a collection of isolated experiences. To this point, the "purpose" was to keep moving, or better put, to stay involved in this experience of now. Any life purpose, therefore, is to stay alive.

To ponder existence and to find the meaning to its purpose is to assume life has intent. To find intent, one must realize their motive. What is our motive?

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
thanks for your replies so far...

I just wanted to add.. I'm really interested in this personally, as when I had my NDE many years ago, I was very clearly told (by my dear Gran when she was waiting for me on the 'other side'), 3 things, including that:

"We aren't ready for you yet..."
and that we humans "ALL come to Earth with a purpose, there's something you all have to 'do' " ..
then she told me very very clearly, before I was returned to this side..
"you have to go back and find out what that is.. and do it" !!!

I can remember her words as if they were spoken one minute ago.. they were incredibly powerful... and makes my spine/head tingle to repeat them...

anyway..

I guess for me personally, this makes it quite important.. I've always tried to help others as much as possible, emtionally and practically.. and to learn/grow/develop myself too... but I still really feel as if there's something 'specific' I still need to do.. but just have no clear idea what it is!!

It's a bit like I've been given a clear message.. AND a puzzle to solve at the same time!! Causes me a fair few sleepless nights, I can tell you!! :mfr_lol:

Thanks for replying anyway folks!

Blessings and peace

"Purpose" is defined by us. I don't buy into the "purpose" business of the reincarnation set for the same reason that Protestant (predestinarian) theology does not appeal to me. If you have a predefined "purpose," then you only get to excersise free will as it serves that "purpose." The real challenge we have here on this planet is not to DISCOVER a "purpose," it is to DEFINE one.

Your soul mission is your reason for being, your life purpose. It's your calling in life--who you feel called to be, what you feel called to do. Mission is an energy that flows through you--a drive, voice, or passion that you cannot ignore... It's what you know in your heart you must live if you are to experience inner peace and harmony.

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
I feel that our purpose here is to just - be.

Be what you are, be happy with this, be aware of yourself, be beneficial to yourself and all.

I feel this is what causes so many challenges within ourselves because we are all different - hence the need for a peace where all join as one.

It can be hard just to - Be.

To be is the challenge that we all have to overcome here.

This is my belief.

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
Ive known my purpose since i was a child.

Ive continuously gotten the message since youth that " I am here for something big. And when that something happens, Im supposed to help people. Its very important and I will have an arduous road ahead, yet it will be second nature to me to do what Im doing...."

Im not sure what that something is and I dont know when its gonna happen ( I have a pretty good idea, but I am not 150% sure) but I know Im ready to do what I gotta do.

i always knew, and, yet, there was a lot of work, to do for it, it was so much bigger than just me,
it needed a group --however "the group" is fragmented .
The whole prospect of it, has actually had made me feel quite ill, and, quite sad, that it is NOT manifesting in this reality -- it always seems like the busy 3D world,
keeps blocking it all, from happening, as, it should occur.
figuring it all out, knowing how to accomplish a lot of it,
and, right NOW, i am to the point, where i am beyond sick & beyond tired - i can NOT even begin to put into words,
what i am feeling-over and over, i try to align with others to do this work-and, yet, the others, are just too damn busy to realise, the true importance of it --
i know i have spent decades, figuring stuff out, and, i believe,actually, i know i have quite a few answers
and, over/and, over again, i give it all away for free
or, share it with others, and, then see some of my stuff end up in books (without, even an acknowledgement, nor, a word of recognition, nor a thank you-for the source of it)
and, that is just NOT right !!! owing a home/running a business to keep a roof over my head, has compounded, my own, inability to find the time, i need,
in order to do/and, to write, what i need to write

what i have created - which although it works/it's NOT what i am supposed to be doing ...right now,
my heart feels like it has been torn into ribbons, and, NO ONE even seems to see it - nor, even cares about that.
i feel very alone, in this world - i feel very sad, and, and, i NEVER thought i would NOT accomplish it--however, for some strange reason, i feel NOT only let down by others...
but, that, i have let myself down too--this knowing it, and, NOT being able to kick it into action, and, express it, and, NOT just feeling that my hands are really tied, knowing they are tied, has frustrated me to a point, of no return,
i can't keep up these 18 hrs days, just to keep a roof over my head, and, i can't find the time, to move/and, to sell,

:wub2: eXchanger. I'm younger in this lifetime but I also sense what you are saying- I imagine you are quite tired by now. I'm exhausted and have been at this for a lot less time. We seem to be at some kind of crossroads and it is dividing, fragmenting. How will we ever be whole like this?

For you. Not my art but it speaks to what I'm feeling and maybe you as well.

I think that everything that hapenned in my life had a purpose even if at the moment I do not know what it was. probably what will happen to me in the future will also have some purpose. I just hope I will then know what it exactly is. Or maybe the purpose is ALL THE DIFFERENCE WE CAN MAKE IN THIS WORLD.

Exchanger,

I've seen you quite busy in Avalon giving your heart and your time to share your wisdom. Maybe you need a little acknowledgment for this which I take the opportunity to give you here.
Well done for all your work this is not wasted.
These are seeds being planted which will grow in due time. Do not take things too seriously there is perfection behind the veil of illusion and an harmonic plan unfolding be it with you or without you.However I see you like to be part of the game. Do this with a light heart, let go of the weariness of it all.We as souls are basically fun and humour.Finding your own peace within and make a radiant being of yourself is worth a thousand words.

Kindness

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 


let us be released from this game we play
let us be released from our fears

let us once again remember our reality
let us once again be free

let us just be
let this be our purpose ...


we constantly seek answers to the mystery of this life and beyond
it is our nature to do so in this 3d world ... in this illusion
we seek enlightenment of who we are and what our purpose is
we seek fulfillment withinn the answers we receive ...

in this illusion, we believe there is great significance in this process
and there is, it is of great importance ... in the illusion
seeking our purpose pulls us forward, always we are meant to move forward on this path

in reality, life's answers are of little significance for they are just words and ideas
in reality, we are the answers we seek
in reality, we live our answers
in reality, we just are

seeking our purpose involves much patience, allowance and trust

patience that we will ascend to live the answers we seek
allowance to be open to assistance to do so
trust that we know what we know within our hearts

purpose is passion, it will echo within every cell of our being when it arrives
we listen and we follow our inner voice
we seek what we need to seek individually, collectively there will come a time we shall work as one, together in harmony, we already do, many have not realised this truth in this moment ... but we do

we must follow our hearts for they are our only true and right navigators ...

follow our hearts to purpose

and we will realise, our truth and our purpose ... has always been the same as one another's

there is only one truth ... we are it

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 


heidilore ...

once awakened, once felt, your purpose becomes you and you your purpose

many tune out right now, many have thus far made their choice to remain in their illusion, it is all they know, it is all they have ever known ...

it is their fear of their own survival if they seek beyond

for now, but gradually, many WILL tune in, WILL listen
the energy currently facilitating this is picking up momentum, it is becoming more powerful ... powerful in truth

continue sharing what you know, continue speaking your truth ... this IS your purpose, you DO have your clue ... you have your truth otherwise you wouldn't be on this site

it is true and right to speak what you know, what you feel, what you experience to others, every bit of information, as miniscule as it might be to yourself, may be the truth that awakens just one person ... then another ... and another

continue moving forward, the universe asks you to do this now, do not sit back, your truth is beneficial to all

your energy awakens others

continue BEing who you are, you are needed ...

peace to you

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
Hi Worlds Beyond, I know exactly what you are feeling for I have been asking myself this very same question, “What is my PURPOSE here in this life time on this planet”. From a very young age I have always felt that I do not completely fit into this society. I feel as though I’m playing this role but that there is nevertheless this VOID inside of me which only leaves me with the feeling that there is a missing link to my life, something of great importance that has yet to occur, perhaps “MY PURPOSE”?

If numbers or numerology has anything to do with our life or our destiny I would be very curious to know what the numbers 13 and 213 would mean or how can one interpret these numbers. The number 13 and 213 has manifested so many times right in my face, “so to speak” it’s as though these numbers are trying to tell me something or trying to get my attention.

These are just a few coincidences or perhaps synchronicities where these numbers have manifested; first of all the person that was very close to my heart, my late mother, her birth date was the 13th.

At the age of 21 I get a job as a new car salesmen, the manager gives me an office, the phone extension was 213 and hands me the keys to my brand new demo a Ford Mustang in which the three hast digits of the serial number finished by 213.

My first marriage was on June 13th I had nothing to do with choosing this date; the wedding hall was only available at this date for that month we wanted to get married.

I start working in a different dealership, my office local 213.

The new dealership was 13 km from my house.

I got divorced and meet my present wife, yes you guessed it, and she also lived at exactly 13 km from my house but in a different direction.

There are many more examples but these are the ones that stood out the most.

Are these numbers trying to tell me something or what??

our paths have their ups and downs, their potholes, their hurdles ...

our paths all lead to the same purpose ... awakening, awakening which will facilitate the positive changes meant to take place on this planet ...

if our paths were smooth and paved, we would still be like so many in this moment ... asleep

we've answered our wake up call, there is no going back now, we can only move forward with the shift

the positive energy you put forth in this world from within you will resonate with so many others ... just wait and see how the flower blossoms

as you walk your path ... trust
trust yourself, trust the universe

it is up to us to be the change ...

The moment I ask this question, the enormous vibration that allows, is out of focus.
The desire to know, affords me only that which has been known before and this is all recycled, captive, soul scraps.
The answers (and it seems there are many, constant and unfixed vibrations) lie in the unknown.
Where time is not.
Where desire is not.
Where fear is only a memory, no longer employed on any level.

Re: What is true your Life Purpose..?
 
"Purpose" is one of those words that implies or triggers the vibration of self-worthy justification. In other words - "I must meet some expectation in order to add value to my existence". As you expand in your spritual journey, you may come to a point and realize that this is merely a belief you have acquired from other sources.

The material world is not "broken" nor did you come here to "fix" it or others. You came here for your own self-created experiences.

Also you are not here to tackle karmic challenges or to attend the school of the universe. You are here in this phenomenal playground to use it as a catalyst to expand your consciouness and become from your desires; and to add your ideas and perspectives to the collective sum of all that is becoming.

i know what you're saying about utilizing the word "purpose" in reference to expectation, i get that ...

for myself it is similar with "perfection", i have come to know perfection exists in the 3d illusion, we use it as a measurement to attain a goal and in doing so comparing one person or thing to another thereby in keeping of separation, "i am MORE than he, she has MORE than i, his idea is BETTER than hers ..." all in striving for something higher to attain ...

in the higher realms perfection as i know it here, does not exist, all is one therefore there is no more or no less, it just is ... we just are ...

yes, we have come here to create our own experiences but became so indulged with what isn't real we have forgotten what reality is ... just BEing ...

while in the process of awakening to our truth, perhaps there is purpose, perhaps it is the process of remembering once again who we are ...

when we come to realize just that, the simplicity and purity of who we really are, and if we have called this journey purpose, then i am ok with purpose for it has allowed me to just be ...

so yes, i understand what you write indeed, in reality few words exist, fulfillment and wholeness is in BEing ...

for our journey of remembering, purpose is just fine for me :original:

Totally agree, everything here is just as it's meant to be.
