How purpose arises

Purpose arises as you open the heart.  Notice what unfolds as you connect with what you love and willingly share this by serving others.  What happens to that unending quest for purpose as you discover your deepest needs are not what you thought? How does it feel to know all conceivable needs are already met? What happens as you choose to have fun with whatever you do and also infuse joy into the lives of others?  

It is all coming back to you how your gifts and aptitudes are pre-selected at soul level.  Being creative is one of the basic ways to revitalize the Spirit and awaken to what the soul always knows.  Purpose is not what you think.  It is not what mind invites you to believe. Purpose is what you are, every aspect of the journey, and even energy itself.

"The purpose of our lives is to be happy." -Dalai Lama

At the threshold of the unknown

The moment you reach the threshold of the deeper unknown, nothing you are taught makes sense anymore. It is outgrown.  Intuition is the dependable compass in all areas of your physical life.  Awareness of the deeper journey arises when you begin to ask questions about the unknown and unknowable where no traditional answers exist.

Everything is felt as a bridge to love, to the recognition of the oneness of being. This is not the concepts mind would have you believe but is known through direct experience.  You may notice a guide during the journey, but such a guide cannot experience for you. Just like the presence of any mentor or inspiration, you come to sense each one is an extension of you.  Each one is reminding you that knowing complete acceptance and self-worth transforms your perceived life experience and what you sense beyond it.

The essence of being transcends any world you believe in or imagine.  The presence of being is in the world but not of it.  At the level of presence or awareness of real self, that which cannot be known, objectified or described, silence conveys timeless messages.  As you notice the stillness, this frees you from an illusions of ego that are never real to begin with. Fear of freedom is ultimately what keeps you focused on identifying with the person you think is you.  Be free and know what souls knows.

"The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." -Kahlil Gibran

Recognize who you are

Come to your own recognition about who you are.  Do not listen to anything the mind comments about this.  Thoughts are created and perceived to invite you to notice who you are not.   Something watches thoughts. Do not focus on memory.  Even this is imagined.  Do not accept what you are told, what you read or believe.  Look deeper.

Something observes the gradual losing of the identity.  Notice what you are not losing importance and fading out of your scope of awareness.  Certain labels and self perceptions are irrelevant and disappear. You give up sports training and no longer view yourself as a competitive athlete. Everything is and yet your focus goes from general to specific and gradually to nothing.  You can say you are not what you do, not "X, Y, or Z" but what is left? Who can appear and see without you? Sense it in silence.

"We live at the threshold of a universal recognition that the human being is not mere matter, but a potent, energetic field of consciousness." - Michael Beckwith

The key to happiness

The key to happiness is felt in the recognition you are that already. Mental desire, discernment and judgement of the mind offer another perspective, but this is not the real you, or that which observes everything in silence. Being joy feels this unspeakable essence that is fully present, and all-seeing with clarity.  As striving for anything ceases, allowing takes over.  What remains is felt as innersight reveals itself.

Feel what its like to experience unwavering peace of mind, to be aware of innate perfection. Regardless of what the mind would have you believe is unfolding in the movie of your life, serenity is unwavering behind everything. Being happiness feels like there is nothing to escape, nothing to seek. That which transcends space, form, and time is revealed as the lumen being emerging and opening doors to eternity.  Notice your focus.  Recognize the being of light, the feeling of divine presence that is grace.

"To be awake is to be alive." - Henry David Thoreau

"The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness." -Maharishi Mahest Yogi

Recognize the root cause

You do not need to do anything to be and feel free. Suffering of any kind always comes back to perceived lack of freedom. Delve into roots of your own suffering and see them as they are. The more you deny who you are, the less you trust and more you fear.

Only as you acknowledge the essence of being and its ever-present awareness, do you begin to realize problems are in essence, human at the core. The mind is the origin of distortion and misperception of reality. Words and interpretations are human mental filters. of energy  Know you allow or resist the one unified being that is.   

From the moment you see and feel everyone as a reflection of yourself, you begin to recognize every encounter is an invitation to love yourself more, to appreciate everything and everyone equally, and to see through the illusions of separation you create. Heartfelt honesty shines though as you gaze into the eyes of another. You are him and he is you. Intrinsic value, is. This said, where does your sense of freedom, suffering and separation come from? What happens as you take responsibility for your perception? Notice what stands out as you realize where your energy and attention go.
