Purpose of Life: Are You Ready to Stop Wasting Your Life as You Finally Discover Your Life Purpose? (spiritual leader quotes)

If youre wondering about the purpose of life, the simple way to solve this issue is to figure out that its time for you to finally map out your lifes true mission.

The best explanation for why a lot of people are living without purpose is because theyve never taken time out to plan life out. Most people are surviving at jobs or careers they “happened in to”. Most people are living mundane, tiresome lives without feeling the happiness they should be.

Most people are surviving with a strong sensation of trepidation or alarm instead of tasting the true purpose of existence to have fun.

Thats right, life is actually supposed to be fun. Unfortunately, you may have learned along the way that you were supposed to be miserable all day long. Nothing could be further from reality.

Lets glimpse at three blessings that come with discovering and living your Life Purpose. Then, well take a look at three steps to help you begin this process.

Your Personal Philosophy

The number one advantage to discovering your own purpose of life is that you define your Personal Philosophy. Your Personal Philosophy comes down to how you see life. Its the yardstick by which you see the universe you exist in.

This is where you jot down the principles, morals, and values by which you will live by. Theres a magnificent difference in the Life Purpose of a person valuing integrity and honesty as opposed to the person who doesnt mind lying and cheating now and again.

Like many other people, you may very well be living a life today that doesnt match up with your Personal Philosophy. Does your job have you doing things that grate against your morals and principles? Have you allowed a friend, family member, or spouse to steer you in directions that have you setting aside your values?

Getting your Personal Philosophy solidified will allow you to make important decisions very easily from the paradigm of principles that you hold dearly.

Your Vision

As your Higher Purpose comes squarely into view, your whole life paradigm changes. Instead of existing in life by accident and hoping things work out, you now see clearly how each choice affects you now and in the future.

With your purpose of life mapped out, you no longer settle for anything that violates that vision and purpose. Imagine the difference in your quality of life when you make choices based on personal truth rather than anything else the world may be suggesting you do.

Making a Difference

Since most people in todays society are trapped in “exist mode”, they have relinquished all thoughts of purpose or living with intention.

However, when you decide to finally raise yourself above this and work on yourself in order to experience your Life Purpose, youll find that your discovery of your true reason for being alive will result in a life where you make a difference to everyone around you.

Finding your Higher Purpose is magical. It comes with a feeling of meaning. It allows you to effect positive change on a world in need of such a thing. It lets you finally stop saying, someday and to start living now. You help others now you make a difference now.

What a fantastic way to live!

Look Within

Now that youve read about three of the multiple blessings youll get when you take the time to discover your purpose of life, why don’t we take a look at three procedures that will guide you along this path.

The first thing you need to realize is that youre not going to discover the answers to your Higher Purpose by searching outside of yourself. On the contrary, this is when you must start finding quiet time where you can focus within for the answers to your personal purpose of life.

This is a spiritual growth path as well as a personal growth process. Youre working on discovering about your inner self and the lessons this higher self can teach you. You may want to invest time in learning about the many meditation methods in order to help you look within.

Focus on Your Inner Child

Looking back at your childhood is a key part to discovering the purpose of life. There was a magical time at some point in your childhood when you looked at life as magical, special, joyous, and amazing. This view of life had nothing to do with validation from others or achievement.

There was a time when you were filled with joy and wonder just for being alive. This is the place you want to get yourself back in touch with!

Begin focusing on all that you enjoyed as a child. Think through your interests, the games you loved to play, the hobbies you loved to participate in, etc. Begin thinking about that which makes you happy simply because and youre getting closer to your own purpose of life.

Write it Down

Something good happens whenever you write down your thoughts. It becomes more real. It has a much larger effect on your mind than when you only think about it. Therefore, make sure you write down your innermost feelings and thoughts as you start to focus on discovering your Higher Purpose.

Youve learned three blessings of discovering the purpose of life and three steps you can start working toward your personal Life Purpose. While there are literally dozens of steps necessary to work through in this process, these three should help you get started.

Angels And Spirit Guides Are Unique Too
By Kevin Sinclair

A lot of information has been produced in recent years about angels, spirit guides and ascended masters and more and more people are calling upon them for help in dealing with the challenges of life. The information that is surfacing about these other-worldly beings is the result of intensive study into ancient texts that are thousands of years old.

Furthermore, normal people are increasingly experiencing paranormal or supernatural events as they live their daily lives. This is happening across the globe, in the lives of all sorts of different people whether they live in cities or towns, the countryside or even on the streets.

People who have personally witnessed the presence of supernatural beings or have experienced paranormal events have different educational levels, occupations and ages. They include men and women, girls and boys. Interestingly, they represent all faiths and religious groups as well as people who are not involved with any formal church or spiritual fellowship. Some of these people have explored their experiences in articles and even books.

However, the vast majority of those who have had these amazing experiences have not described them formally in writing at all. They just keep living their normal, everyday lives, but have incorporated the supernatural quietly by seeking direction from spirit guides, ascended masters and archangels.

These beings are not experienced in the same way by different people. Sometimes they appear as visions, sometimes they simply speak and at other times they are felt as a presence. However, their presence is detected, the people they connect with have very interesting stories to tell.

We are gaining more understanding over time about how these beings operate. For example, we now know that archangels, ascended masters and spirit guides have specific expertise and areas of specialty. Archangel Michael, for example, is charged with helping us overcome fear both individually and as a whole.

To better understand how to relate to and cooperate with spiritual beings, we can seek the guidance of Archangel Metatron who also specializes in helping children. To create more beautiful lives we can turn to Archangel Jophiel and if we are seeking solutions to health problems, Archangel Haniel can guide us to create the appropriate healing remedies.

If you desire to understand your life purpose, Archangel Chamuel is the one to turn to along with Archangel Michael, Saint Francis or Saint-Germain. Surprisingly, we can even get help to fix mechanical parts from Archangel Michael or Apollo. For grief and loss we can turn to Archangel Azrael for comfort and healing.

Down through the ages, these amazing, extraordinary experiences have also been very natural. However, the supernatural experiences and contacts with other-worldly beings that have occurred throughout our human history are still mind blowing to human beings. Yet, our growing awareness of other beings, dimensions, and realities is finally beginning to be validated by quantum theory and the growing body of research in quantum physics.

When we realize that even spirit beings such as angels, spirit guides and ascended masters have special gifts and areas of specialty, we may be able to more easily accept and appreciate what we can uniquely offer as human beings. We also have things in which we are particularly gifted.

The combination of unique talents and interests that we all possess indicate our life purpose. These important elements of who we are combine to create our personalities and develop into the motivations, desires and decisions that create our destinies. Understanding this, should help us become more patient and understanding of both ourselves and other people.

Blavatskys Message and Teaching
By Dr. Edi Bilimoria

Helena Petrovna Blavatskys (HPB) task was to act as a messenger to bring the knowledge that there is a Divine Wisdom Theo-sophia as the root and basis upon which all philosophies, sciences and religions are founded and which guides the cosmos, nature and human life.

This Divine Wisdom is variously known as the Ancient Wisdom, or Wisdom-Religion, or Esoteric Philosophy, or Perennial Philosophy, or Occult Science. All these terms allude to the fact that Theo-sophia is not a system of belief formulated by an individual, nor a religion in the ordinary meaning of the word denoting formalized worship and ritual; instead it is the accumulated wisdom of innumerable ages that has been systematically checked by generations of sages the world over.

What then is Occult Science?

It is a generic term referring to the Hermetic or Esoteric Sciences, which explore the essential, or hidden secrets of Nature physical and psychic, mental and spiritual rather than, but not excluding, Her outward appearance and mechanical behavior which Western science studies to virtual perfection.

For example, that Swedenborg came to the Occult teachings in his general conceptions is shown by his essay on the Vortical Theory.

HPBs message

As to the message that HPB brought: it is based on fundamental axioms formulated into three propositions that cannot be thought of independently from the whole, meaning that no aspect, no principle and no law can be properly considered in isolation: the Universe and all that is in it constitute a WHOLE.

Furthermore, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that these propositions are not the invention of HPB or anyone else. They form the basis of the presentation of the doctrines of the Divine Wisdom. Countless generations of sages have checked these doctrines by study as well as practical experience in a manner akin to the inductive method of science whereby a hypothesis put forward is checked by repeatable experiments and only when there is a sufficient corroboration between hypothesis and experimental verification is the former elevated to a theory.

In similar vein these sages have found the teachings enunciated to be in consonance with the overriding philosophy formulated by them. But it was HPB who synthesized the diverse and scattered fragments of this doctrine into a coherent system and body of knowledge made available for the first time to, and in a suitable idiom for, the Western world at large.

But it is as well to point out here HPBs counsel that no human-born doctrine, no creed, however sanctified by custom and antiquity, can compare in sacredness with the religion of Nature. The Key of Wisdom that unlocks the massive gates leading to the arcana of the innermost sanctuaries can be found hidden in her bosom only: and that bosom is in the countries pointed to by the great seer of the past century Emanuel Swedenborg. There lies the heart of nature, that shrine whence issued the early races of primeval Humanity, and which is the cradle of physical man.

The Cards of Destiny have dealt humankind a jewel beyond price in HPBs message of spiritual uplift and universal brotherhood to be attained by a knowledge of the eternal verities of our existence. Have we used this sublime gift with gratitude, understanding and love? Who is to say? All spiritual teachers are but messengers. They proffer no initiations and perform no miracles at our behest. All that they can do is to say, with H. P.Blavatsky: I can tell you how to find those who will show you the secret gateway that leads inward only, and closes fast behind the neophyte for evermore. For those who win onwards, there is reward past all telling: the power to bless and save humanity. For those who fail, there are other lives in which success may come.
