The other day I woke up with this feeling of knowing my purpose. I still can't express it quite in words, but there's a feeling round about where my heart is that I can go into now. If I sit down and meditate on this feeling, I get this inflow of energy and perspective and start arranging my life around this feeling. The feeling was always with me, but only now it's like I'm starting to accept it. Yet it's still hard to get it all the time. I still fall back into purposelessness and addictive habits. I think I can best describe it as "defense and love for the sacred truth," or deepest truth, but still it doesn't quite describe it right. It feels incomplete. I don't know if words will always be inadequate or if I have more work to do. Interesting experience and not what I expected - has anyone else who has found their purpose had something similar?

Yes, I have experienced a very similar feeling. I personally feel deep relief that I have finally found what I am passionate about and that makes me happy and relaxed. It feels like everything is okay and that there is nothing more that could improve this experience. This feeling comes together with the feeling of unconditional love, and I appreciate every single person no matter where they are or what they are doing. |

Andrew, I think that as you further articulate your purpose and build that articulation into structures in your life -- you know, real representations of it in the physical world, in every area of your life from the notes on your wall to screensavers to the way you dress and the food you eat -- those structures will support you more and more in living your purpose, and you will be less and less vulnerable to falling back into purposelessness or habit. Congratulations! I'll be interested to see how your declared purpose evolves. |

I honed it a bit: "To love and express, to defend and liberate the sacred truth at the heart of things, which is Innocence". I feel such an energy reading those words. The weird thing is it's what I've always been about. Finding my purpose for me has been an issue of cutting through all the fears so I could see what was already there. It's been in all of the things I've lived through so far, my current challenges, and all the things I love and hate. I think it's complete now. I'll have to meditate on it a bit more, but I get that feeling. Really working out how this will fit into my life is another huge task in itself. Then of course is finding lower-order purposes like "getting healthy", the specifics, and getting all of the things into balance with the whole.

An interesting thing happened just now. I just remembered something which usually makes me cringe. Just as this shame energy was running through my system, I thought of those words, which put it right into perspective - what a dumb little thing it was to feel bad about! The shame was transmuted instantly to humour, and I laughed. That felt really light, a really blessed experience.

I've been waking up to my life purpose more and more these days. This task of helping to create the sticky on polarity seems to have come to me so that I'd reread the articles in depth. "Rise of the Lightworker" made me actually sob, recognising that I'd come to help people. I had been confused about that, because I'm most definitely not without ego, in fact I can come across as evil at times, yet all the time the driving force underneath all the bullshit was to remember who I really was. There was just no going back to living a normal life, no matter how hard I tried. Now I've come to a cool resolution about my life. I'm setting out my plans for the future with a firm love-basis. It's just what I'm made for, that's all.

I've been working at it: I did a daily mantra meditation that went "Today begins my life purpose on the physical plane. I have my life purpose thanks to all the beings that have helped me to accept it and from today I will write it for its success at the service of the physical plane". My teacher gave me that one (translated from Spanish) and I'd really recommend it. There was another meditation which my teacher showed me which involved a visualisation. I could describe it if anyone's interested, though it's quite complex - don't make me write it if you're not going to use it!

So, I thought I could update this thread. Time's gone on and I seem to be more attuned with my purpose here. Still not 100% by any means. The purpose I wrote definitely still resonates with me... though I feel that it's not QUITE complete. I actually wonder if a written purpose like that can be complete. My blog now is a pretty accurate reflection of my purpose as I stated it. Over time I kept on adjusting my blog, getting rid of layers of inauthenticity and breaking through to my core gifts, and that is what came up. The moment I managed to get the blog to align with a greater level of authenticity I felt a big increase in my desire to write and market my blog, and people have been responding much better to the articles. My traffic has been rising quite strongly the last two months. Still, I can't say that my blog is the ONLY way I want to express my purpose here. I think I can only say it's a facet of me. "Alignment with the sacred truth" could be what I write about in my blog, that is finding meaningful truth. But I also think that I was thinking of "realigning with soul truth (or Innocence)" when I wrote that purpose, trying to fit many concepts into something that could be expressed in just a sentence or two. "Realigning with soul truth" is a seperate purpose of mine, I think. It comes with my soul origin as a Blueprinter Soul (I had an Akashic Record reading with Anna Conlan after beginning this thread). As a Blueprinter, I hold the memory of how the Earth soul is supposed to be, and part of my function here is to remind people of that. Innocence (capital I) would be living as an Earth soul is supposed to be, without the corruption which came in due to negative influences. Ah, and I should mention that the "teacher" I was talking about in this thread turned out to be a manipulative charlatan. I am SO pissed off with him! And myself for being such a fool! Well, maybe something productive came out of my relationship with him.
