Everyone has a personality purpose, a soul purpose and a Spirit purpose.Purpose expresses who we are in a way that contributes to what we are part of. We must express who we are as a personality in a way that benefits others around us. That involves using our abilities, our skills, our talents and anything that we have as a physical, emotional and mental being. Doing so fulfills our life purpose.
The purpose of life can be stated as creating consciousness. Consciousness is that place where the oneness of life and personality/form come together and merge. It is only in consciousness that sou becomes aware of itself as matter, and matter becomes aware of itself as oneness. This self-awareness is the fruit of the creation of consciousness. The purposes of our soul and personality are unique ways we participate in the grander scheme of life.
The fundamental cause of everything in our life is soul and all healing must be accomplished through soul. Beneath all surface troubles, soul exists as an untroubled reality. The soul is always at peace. Much of the focus in this program is about how to think like a soul and how to be the soul.
Today, we tend to view the world in which we live from mechanistic, scientific, analytical and physical perspectives. When we do this, we engage our senses without involving the soul. We therefore remain on the surface of cause and effect relationships, and give away the power of controlling our own lives and loves to external forces. We thus find ourselves increasingly disconnected from the world and others, and increasingly afraid of close encounters and intimate connections.
We take a spiritual journey when we respond as individuals to the universal presence. In this journey, we discover our uniqueness and become authentically who we are.
We all want to make a lasting difference in the world and in our private lives. To achieve this, we must do so from a higher level than personality life. This higher level is soul life, our essence.
