One of the most popular personal development topics is “how to discover your purpose.” It seems everyone is trying to figure out what they are meant to do or be.

The thing is, you may be one, like myself at one point, who believes that there is one big purpose for you in this life and because you don’t think you’ve found it yet, it causes you to feel stress and frustration. You may feel down because you feel unfulfilled in what you are currently doing, yet you don’t know what you “should” be doing to fulfill your purpose.

There are a rare few who do, in fact, come into this life for one primary purpose, but for most of us, our life translates into having many smaller, yet still extremely significant purposes. 

Perhaps you can relate. In your desperation for answers and direction, you may ask for guidance from God, but believe that you are not receiving any answers. You may wonder why God isn’t helping you or you may blame yourself for not being tuned in enough to receive guidance and answers to what you are meant to do. 

Both young and old ask this question about purpose. If you are younger, you may not feel so defeated or stressed if you don’t yet know your purpose or the direction that you want to take your life. But if you’re older, either still working or retired, this question burns within you much more intensely. 

There is a burning desire that builds inside of you to find things that make you feel that your existence is “purposeful.” Perhaps you think about your age and what you have done throughout your life, and still feel that you have not fulfilled enough or been purposeful enough. You may even feel that “time is running out.”

From a spiritual perspective, your purpose is the same as everyone else’s—to learn the truth of love. In a nutshell, that is what this whole human experience is about at its very core and is part of what is expressed in the book, Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World. The way in which you learn and experience this love is unique to you.   

So, if you are feeling stressed about your purpose, wondering, "What in the world am I supposed to be doing with my life?" I would first tell you to go out and do things that you enjoy. Start there. And while you are doing that, give of yourself, be of service in some way, because when you give, you receive (that is a natural Law of Love expressed by Wise Ones in the book Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World), and what you will find that you receive as you do all of this, is the answer to your purpose. What you also find is that you are living “purposefully” (and more joyfully).

So, what are you passionate about? What are some ways that you can do to express this passion? Do you wish to volunteer with a specific group of people or for a specific purpose? Who can you help with your unique gifts through your work/career? 

Just start anywhere, no matter how small. If your passion is to help the soldiers in some way, then find a soldier buddy to write to or compile and send care packages. If you love drawing, volunteer at a kids’ art workshop. If you enjoy nature, join a hiking group. When you relax in something you are passionate about, you allow a natural flow of life to move through you, and when it does, answers and that next thing that you’re meant to do will be revealed to you.

But don’t take it from me, look within. As expressed in the book Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World, Monday, November 9, 1981, Session 42: “There is always a purpose for entering and re-entering life after life in form. This purpose is usually not a singular purpose, but rather a group of purposes consisting of a soul purpose, a debt purpose (resolving karma), and a loving and contributing purpose.” What are those things that translate as your loving and contributing purpose?

One of the greatest misfortunes in life is the loss of self. Most people experience it at some point in their lives, and honestly, it can be a very depressing time. 

Perhaps you’ve spent most of your time doing for others, such as for your family and children, and you feel like you lost sight of who you are. You’ve set aside your goals and hobbies – the things that ignite your fire and make you feel more whole – and as a result, you’ve lost a big part of yourself that you valued and identified with. What do you do when this happens?

When you feel lost in who you are, I believe that the best and first step is to go back to innocence.

As you go throughout this journey in your life, you are met with both the “good” and the “bad.” You accumulate more problems, challenges, and more things that you view as "going wrong." When this happens, it is important to take yourself back to innocence. You can begin by pulling out photos or videos of you as a child so that you can be reminded of the excitement and wonder it is to see through the eyes of a child, and to recapture some of the passion that you had for life when at a younger age.

Perhaps as a child, you were loving, generous, funny, adventurous, creative, imaginative, and able to find ways of making something out of nothing while having fun in the process. Now, imagine what it would be like to take those qualities back as an adult. 

Look back to who you were before all of this other “stuff” happened. When you go back to the innocence of yourself, you are reminded that life is good, life is exciting, it’s an adventure, and it is meant to be enjoyed. You are here to play through experiences, and to embrace each experience with what is possible in each moment. 

What often happens when you go about your life and are around different people is that some will say to you, “You can do anything that you put your mind to;” they are encouraging. And then there are those who say things like, “Really? You want to do that? What makes you think you can be successful?” or “But you have never done it before. No one can be as good as so and so.” They are not so encouraging.

Each time someone brings you down or things go "wrong," it diminishes that innocence and sense of wonder and excitement for life. It dims that light within you that you held brightly as a child. In the prime of your innocence, anything was possible. You were fearless. You were excited to wake up each morning and be anyone you wanted to be.

When you feel lost or you don’t recognize yourself, think back to when you were a child. Look at life through the eyes of that child. What would that child tell you now? How would that child handle the situation? What part of that innocence can you bring to the situation that will allow your inner light to shine brightly again, so that you can recapture what it means to be “you”?

Actually, the original, full title of this article is, “Yes, I'm Spiritual, You ‘BLEEP’!”: The Art of Balancing a Spiritual Life with Your Physical Life. I thought that this title is a pretty accurate illustration of the reality of this life for most having this human experience. You know you are a part of something greater and you seek to connect with it, but it can be quite difficult to maintain it. 

You may read books that inspire a spiritual awakening, remind you to be mindful, help you to accept yourself and the moment, or understand the power of your thoughts. These books do help to bring you into the energy of amazing grace and greater joy, but then, as many say, "life happens." 

Someone cuts you off while driving, your kids push your buttons, your boss makes you feel undervalued, and suddenly all that “Zen” you felt goes out the window and you are calling someone a jerk or yelling at your kids. You've "lost it." 

But did you really lose that spiritual connection? Where and why did it go? You know that you are a "spiritual person." You are loving and caring and even patient for the most part, so what happens in those moments and why does it seem like a switch is being uncontrollably flipped, turning off that connection to the love, peace, acceptance, patience, etc. that you once had?

I was walking out to my car one morning from the grocery store and a man in a large truck drove by and proceeded to stop and back up into a parking space. At the same time, a car was leaving and driving up behind him; when the person in the car saw him backing into the space, she honked. It is unclear whether she was not paying attention and did not see his intention to back up, thus she was afraid her car would be hit, or if she was just upset that he was taking so long to back up. Immediately the man in the truck yelled obscenities at her for honking, calling her all kinds of names, before she got around his truck and drove away. 

Now, having just recently written two books, Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World and The Three Supreme Gifts: A Practical Approach to Self-Mastery and to Transforming Your Life Here and Now, (both scheduled to be released late 2019!) I know that both of these individuals are likely very kind and friendly in their own ways, but they just “lost it.”

Life is a delicate dance between the spiritual part of you and the physical part of you—meaning you as “soul” and you as “personality.” Both “you” and your soul are having this human experience, but they are not one and the same. 

Your soul is the essence of who you are and is directly connected to your Higher Self and to the energy from which it came—God. That is what you can say is the “spiritual” part of you. When you, as soul, come into form, you already have within you a “DNA” of sorts, and as part of that “DNA” are thoughts that you have carried throughout various human lifetimes. It is your soul that has chosen to come into this life in form. When coming in, you have love at your core and are given the additional gifts of thought and free will. 

And then you have the physical part of you. As a part of the physical is your personality. Your soul is what gives life to the personality part of “you.” With the personality comes the ego (a false-self), thoughts and associated emotions that come with those thoughts, as well as then the reactions to those thoughts.

When you identify in a deeper way with your soul—that loving, divine part of you—you are able to stay connected to that spiritual part of you, especially in the midst of undesirable situations. 

It is your free will to choose from what perspective you want to see your life, including every connection and experience in it. That spiritual part of you desires for you to act and react with love, understanding and kindness and the personality part of you may be so tapped into negative thoughts that it is hard to see this aspect of love (in yourself or others), thus you react with unkindness or impatience. Again, it is a delicate dance.

When you can see your world more from the perspective of your soul—from the perspective of that piece of God that is within you and all—you can have what is termed in Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World, as “wise eyes.” That when you create from the heart—from the energy of “love-given”—you receive back the same multiplied many times. When you choose to act from this part of yourself, your reactions are more loving and kind, and you maintain your “spiritual connection.”

Have you noticed certain patterns of events or circumstances happening over and over in your life? 

Perhaps you keep ending up in the same type of bad relationships or getting betrayed by someone you trust. Maybe you keep encountering difficult people and you wonder why it is that someone is always giving you a “hard time.” Or maybe you are a woman who has had multiple unsuccessful pregnancies, while others seem immediately able to conceive without any issues.

And you find yourself asking, “Why does this keep happening to me?”

In one of the sessions with Spirit, from the book Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World they describe the human experience as a series of psychodramas. These psychodramas are created before birth for the sake of learning. They are created for two purposes: to resolve a debt (karma) or for the act of love, and in both cases are out of love.

A first step to improving your life and transforming aspects that are not benefiting you is recognizing these types of recurring events.

Recognizing the Pattern
By realizing the pattern, you can take a pause and investigate why similar events keep occurring, and you can gain insight into why they are happening. 

This life is a karmic experience, comprised of both good and bad karma, and in the instance of these psychodramas, this reliving of experience is for the purpose of resolution — a repaying of an accumulated debt from past experiences and lives in form. 

Conversely, these psychodramas may not be karma related at all, but for the sake of love. What this means is that the reason for specific repeated events could simply be for the sake of learning the depths of love, to further learn love for thyself and/or out of love for another where your experience directly benefits another.  

“Love is a connection that transcends all that is. It is the clause in all that is. Through love, all can be accomplished… (Love is) where greatness in human and shared reality is accomplished.” - Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World

Our karmic debt lovingly reminds us to reach higher, to become greater, and to bring more love into the world. When we overcome our replays, we can’t help but transform, and in doing that, we bring more love, hope, and inspiration to the world around us.

How to Use Your Repeated Events to Transform Your Life
Resolving these repeated, unenjoyable events is quite possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to help you.

1. Write down the circumstances and events that you recognize are reoccurring in your life.
2. Dig down deep into determining what lesson is there for you to learn. This will be part guessing and part innately knowing.
3. Write down the ultimate solution or what you would like to experience instead of the specific event. Simply focus on the solution. Or if you don’t yet have a solution yet in mind, allow for a solution to be revealed.
4. As a final step, I like to talk with God about this ultimate solution. You can call it a prayer or a declaration or agreement that you consciously do where you say something to the effect of, “God, I recognize this type of event keeps occurring. What I choose to experience instead is _______. What I am learning from these experiences is _______ and if there is more to it than this, I ask that you reveal it to me with grace and ease. In this way, I choose to live and be the following: ________. (ie. ‘live and be someone who is respected, as I respect others’ lives and be someone who magnetically attracts only those people who trust me and I them.’)”

Notebook #28 Page 7 - Unpublished Session

Through love you are your natural self.

Love-given is the law of creation, the truth of creation that is natural and most creative.

Psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, therapists, have in your time treated what is wrong or perceived wrong with life forms. If the approach to the situation was to look for what is right, then one would seek through love and look for the response to love. That exists as a part of all.

This approach accomplishes many positive cures both for the therapist and the patient.

​Love is the order by which all are equal in God's eyes.

This is a Wise One.
I Am That I Am.
I am the truth.
I am that which exists in all.
I am the light.
I am the creator of all.
I am the lover of all.
I am the Christ.
I am the Buddha.
I am all that is truth.
I am Love.
Love is a part and a seed of all.
Love is that which binds all.
We are one. I am the All.

Patiently I wait for the each to understand that they are no more or less than the All.

Patiently, I understand that which is of me is infinite.

Patiently with love I wait for the atonement.

Patiently with love, compassion, understanding, I wait for the resurrection, patiently with patience, with love, with understanding, I wait at the separation of end and the truth to manifest.

I Am the truth. I Am the light, when love is given freely without expectations; when love is lived with truth and wisdom; when love is that which one seeks to give, then the separation ceases and atonement begins.

A Grateful Heart Opens Channels for All Things Greater
The heart chakra represents the Divine qualities and intelligence of the heart. It is linked to peace, harmony, love, understanding, clarity, compassion, empathy and forgiveness. 

Expressing gratitude with a full heart opens us up to God’s grace, for only in those moments of gratitude do we recognize the love of all that was created and its role in our own soul’s evolution. This journey is not a solo one. 

A Way of Life
Gratitude is extremely powerful in this life. We often underestimate what gratitude can do for our life here and beyond this one life.

​Living in a state of gratitude as much as we can is one of the most effective ways of getting in touch with your soul – your higher level of consciousness and connection to all creation, which is connected to the Divine and all other creations.

What does gratitude look like? It is mindfulness-living, noticing and appreciating the gift of the ups and downs and opportunities for learning and growing further into your soul’s maturation.

The Vibration of Life
All life vibrates. When you express thoughts of gratitude, you raise your vibration, accessing the wisdom and giving and loving nature of your higher consciousness. When in this space, you not only realize who you are as soul, but also your connection to all other creation. 
​
When you feel gratitude for the little things – the smell of coffee in the morning, spring breeze flowing upon your face, the smile of your child going off to school, the happy greeting of your dog upon arriving home from work – you realize that all life a miracle, and all life is giving.

If you do nothing else today but create thoughts of gratitude, you have spent this day very well—you’ve given of yourself to others, nurtured your true nature and raised your vibration to be most in alignment with the love and grace from which you were created.

Each of the following quotes is taken from Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World (available at various retailers Fall 2019)

"How much more loving and just can God be, than to allow each to create their own unique destiny and to reap all the benefits of what each creates." Date Undocumented
​
This quote speaks directly to the pure, omnipotent love of God. A love without condition. Out of love, each are given the freedom to create anything they wish. Imagine for a moment, this idea of creation and the freedom to create your own unique destiny. This is an empowerment that you have every minute of every day, to make the best of this life. Because God understands that the “knowing” soul will understand that the highest quality thought is love, He freely gives each soul rights and truths of creating.

"Each soul has inherent within it the God given talent of creating. What souls cannot be given is understanding, for understanding comes about by not just observing but doing. Not just doing correctly, but erroring." - Sunday, March 14, 1982, Session 136
​
This is one of my favorite messages within Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World. It is a reminder that we must error, that it is inevitable to error when in pursuit of our innate desire for understanding. Yes, sometimes these errors are big and sometimes they are errors that hurt others, whether intentionally or unintentionally, yet this is all for the sake of evolution—your own and collectively for all.   

"Within each human personality is the soul that has created it. And within each soul is God." - Tuesday, October 19, 1982, Session 250, Page 2
​
One of the gifts that each soul is forged with is the ability to create. Each are co-creators in evolution and when you come into this Earth reality, you create and nurture a personality. As a part of this, you as soul are a part of God, part of one consciousness and part of All That Is.

"Choice is the soul living its evolutionary existence. The choice is made every second, every micro second of a soul's existence. These choices are the souls, are your choices, as part of free will. Positive or negative, each choice returns to the soul. So, it is that, a law of God for all, is a justice in the heart shall be yours." - Monday, November 16, 1981, Session 49

We have free will choice of positive or negative thinking and actions. We are reminded to keep in mind that positive brings more of the same and brings us closer to understanding love, and negative accumulates more of the same and ultimately acquires debts (negative karma). This is the justice in the heart that one shall have.

"When the soul reincarnates it first goes through a rest and learning period if the soul chooses. Now the physical Earthly existence is a true challenge meant for those hardy souls to more quickly accelerate learning." - Monday, March 15, 1982, Session 137

There is one thing for sure, this life is not an easy and smooth one. From day one, we have ups and downs, highs and lows, and there are millions of things that we must learn, not only to function as a human alongside other diverse humans, but also there are key experiences we must have and learn from for our soul’s development. And many of these things we have agreed to experience before coming into this life. So, whether consciously or subconsciously, we are in a constant state of trying to balance our personality, ego and earthly responsibilities with our true self as “soul.” Yes, this life is a challenge meant for hardy souls like you.

"Free will is with all souls but one of the tenants of free will is that one soul, or any being possessing free will should not and, in eternal truth, cannot order another's free will." - 

One of the “laws” or “truths” of God, as expressed within Love is the Seed: Teaching from the Spirit World is this idea that each are forged with love, thought and free will coming into this life. Each are given free will to choose their thoughts, actions and reactions. This is one of the struggles of this human experience ­– we have seen this throughout history, and even today, that there are those who make it their mission to take away or order another’s free will. In a spiritual sense, this does not and cannot occur.

In this Earth experience of constant distractions, infinite information and conflicting situations, we can’t help but be in a constant state of “thinking.” We all do it, right? We find that we think about the next thing we need to do or something that just occurred and/or something that occurred years prior. We are often “lost in thought.” 

What we learn from Love is the Seed: Teachings from the Spirit World (book available Fall 2019) is that “thought” is one of three supreme truths that each soul is forged with upon incarnating. 

Thought can be powerful: it is what creates our reality—good or bad. And thought can be empowering: through thought, ideas are sparked, and we are able to use our mind to then create. As we create, our mind at some point takes a back seat and a natural intuitive flow takes over and we can create wondrous things.

While thought can be a powerful tool when it serves to benefit us, with thought comes worry. And there comes a buildup of fears and earthly pursuits that trap us in thought. When we are trapped in thought, we often look for answers outside of ourselves—from mankind and from what mankind has created, as opposed to what creative thought has created (looking within for answers). It is a cycle of thought after thought to solve a problem or analyze a situation, yet solutions or answers are never found in “thought.”

When We Seek Answers from Within, the Answers Find Us

To seek answers outside of ourselves is common. We look up an answer on the internet, contact a professional, or read books, and while that can be quite beneficial, it is not what provides the ultimate solution.

When we instead look within for answers, we discover solutions that we would not have found otherwise. The reason is because when we turn inward, we tap into a universal wisdom that created all beings, the earth, and everything in existence. That energy is Love.

When we access this universal wisdom, answers find us. By trusting whatever answers that arise with our innate feeling of “knowing,” answers come with greater ease and flow. 

The “Thought” of Love is All Around You

Thought aids “creation,” but creation is much more than a bi-product of thought. Truly memorable creations, whether they were created by artists, writers, musicians, performers or leaders, were created out of love—a thought of love for the pure enjoyment of the process of creation and the gratification of the beauty of what was created.

When we see a piece of artwork that takes our breath away, we can be sure that the artist was loving the process of creating it. Our favorite movies and songs are created out of the same kind of creative expression. And you have likely experienced this kind of love of creation yourself. You know it when you feel a flow and ease from whatever you are doing. The creation almost seems effortless.

When we can harness the power of our thoughts and learn to utilize the empowerment of our thoughts, we can live a more beneficial and joyful life.

“I write of love and am still not able to describe the truth of love, for no words can fully express the truth of love but the word love itself.” Ch. 1- Love, Love is the Seed, Love as Supreme Thought; Monday, December 28, 1981 Notebook #26 Page 8

How can one define love, but to live it? The way in which we can experience love, divine love, is to connect with it through our heart center (Read about the significance of the heart.). This love is expansive, warm, peaceful, still, radiant, pure, empowering, healing and uplifting. 

Perhaps you have already connected with it through dream, which is often where you connect with it most, as you are not distracted. Or perhaps you meditate or sit quietly, and a wave of peace, warmth, or expansion comes over you or you smell a sweetness in the air that is strong and distinct but does not come from your surrounding environment. This is divine love revealing itself.

Love is Understanding
All have love. Through love, we can find confidence in ourselves and find that measure of ourselves that exists in others. Imagine what the world will be like when more people understand that we are not so different, that at our core, we are all the same. Intolerance would weaken, and peace would expand. 

Love is evolving to understand that the justice in the soul's heart, mind, and vision, is that which the soul shall have. Love is understanding that each element contributes to each element, all are created equally and with purpose, and that God is in each and each is a part of God.

Understanding Love Brings Heightened Awareness
When we truly understand this Divine Love, life begins to change and becomes more alive. And when this happens, it does not have to be a big ‘aha’ moment or even big changes at first, but when this happens our perspective begins to change of ourselves and others. 

A heightened awareness energy grows within us, and the things around us begin to change. You have heard the saying, “change your thoughts, change your life.” Much the same, when Love is being consciously lived and expressed through you, your vibration heightens, attracting more of the same. A love given is a love received. This is the justice of love and so shall you have it. This shift, however small, changes the way you see the world and yourself. You begin to see things in a new way.

Love is truth. 
Love is just.
Love is mercy.
Love is the Supreme Being, All That Is, All.
Love is beauty recognized.
Love is appreciation. 
Love is giving.
Love is patience.
Love is eternal.
Love is purposeful.
Love is genuine.
Love is here, now and forevermore.
Love is the seed.
Love is…All.
