Finding Your Life's Purpose

Who am I? Am I the dash between my date of birth and my date of death? (19_ _- 20_ _). The "story of me" is a story of conditioned mental images, thoughts and concepts filled with drama, fears, problems and ambitions. This is the horizontal dimension - the history and facts about you.

You can know about yourself without knowing yourself. Knowing yourself occurs in the vertical dimension of this moment. It is knowing the depths of your being in the NOW. Honey, for example is not known until you taste it and it is no longer separate from you.

People spend most of their lives reviewing the past or anticipating the future and missing it.

Heaven is the vast realm of consciousness before it becomes manifested into form. The heavenly realm can be accessed through an inner transformation from ego consciousness to egoless consciousness.

The timeless, formless source of all life is found in the space of "no" thought. Listen to no-thing. Relate to the world without the noise and the accumulated baggage of your mental programming. Your sense of separation disappears when you stop categorizing, analyzing and labeling eveything.

The world is not here to make you happy - just to make you conscious through lessons and challenges. It is an educational playground.

Suffering is caused by an identification with the material world and losing yourself in the world of thought and form. It is caused by self seeking and by the fear of loss.

There is a silent space of stillness within all things. It lies outside of the mental and emotional noise and the ego.

A flower exists in complete stillness. When you look at it, you sense the stillness and aliveness inside and outside of it and throughout all of nature. That aliveness and stillness is not separate from who you are.

Sit and focus on the energy field around your hands...Feel and sense the energy field around your whole body. Look around the room. Sense the energy field in all things without labeling them. Sense the intense aliveness, shapes and colors as though you're seeing them for the first time.

You do not have to travel to a monastery in the Far East or spend years in meditative study to achieve enlightenment.

Give up self seeking. Give up waiting for the world to acknowledge your importance. Align yourself with the present moment. Go deeply into it and embrace the now because that's all there is. The past is gone. The future is imaginary.

The normal human state is a dream-like state. Once you awaken to the purity of consciousness, you experience a new state of aliveness and a oneness beyond the thinking mind.
