A sense of purpose gives something meaning. When you feel your life has purpose, you feel motivated to behave in certain ways, to make certain choices. Purpose is created by the ego and reinforced in perception. At a given moment, you convince yourself about whatever you like. As the result, you may be misusing or misinterpreting your senses.
What if you decided your goals, your sense of what is useful, necessary or important, were all suspended? What if you chose to believe how you experience the physical world is a meaningless distraction from where you truly desire to be? Could this reveal a side of yourself that you have been unaware of or, unwilling to see?
To stand back from your routines and habits enables you to view your life vert differently. When was the last time you really had a sense of why do what you do? Your Earthly perception rows from a sense of personal interests, that is, what you hope to gain. As you detach from personal interest , you begin to realize you exert effort on nothing for no reason. If you are determined to reorient your mindset, then this happens as you explore reasons for which you do things.
Take the phone, fax or email. You use these tools to contact people who are not immediately or physically in front of you. And yet, part of you is unsure why you desire to communicate. You bother contacting some yet, do not make the effort in others. Why?
Something invisible, some inner knowing, causes you to feel each of your efforts is meaningful. You choose to perceive or discen purpose. If you give up any sense of motivation then where would you be? No human perception could offer definitive clarity.
Your evolving mind is guiding you in new directions. The underlying purpose for your action is beyond your understanding. Since birth, your soul has slowly expanded to get you where you are at this moment. Your dreams elaborate on the energy you sense and feel. You shift focus from subject to subject because you choose to see differently.
