We are born unto this world with an inherent vision of our destiny embedded deep inside of us. It lays dormant for many years until a fire is lit and crescendos into a steady burn within us to discover it. Our quest to know our existential purpose begins.
The ensuing journey toward that goal certainly will be an enlightening experience. It will challenge us to think differently about ourselves and what our mission in life will be.
Sadly, some never embark on a journey into the inner recesses of their minds to truly know who their higher self is. It is my hope that something is sparked within all of you who read this that will propel you to the point of no return in your journey forward to becoming the outward manifestation of your higher self.
Over the past 18 months I have made many journeys into the inner recesses of my mind. I have discovered some amazing truths about myself along with many discoveries that sometimes scared the hell out of me. But once over the shock of the discovery, I began to think more rationally about a solution and what the course of action should be.
There is one thing that I have been challenged with of late and it is related to the perennial question of “why” -- the “why” being that which drives us toward discovering the elusive existential purpose that we all seek Answering why will come by knowing our existential purpose. Discovering the path to that end is the challenge. Knowing our purpose will answer all the whys. But to know the purpose we must know the why’s. This is the classic and very challenging “Catch 22.”
Some have said that I think too much and that I should just “be.” I certainly do concur with that. However, part of my state of just “being” is a need to think about such things in such a deliberative fashion. It allows me to balance each of these differing components to arrive at that “live for the day” attitude that is appropriate for me.
With that said, after much thought I recently arrived at a conclusion from this reflective period related to understanding “why.” We must all simply embrace the journey to discovering the existential purpose and don't focus on the why’s. The universal energy that swirls about us will direct us to each answer of “why” when we need it. Each answer that comes will propel us toward answering the next question of “why” and ultimately to the state of being that is the full outward manifestation of our higher selves.
Have you thought about your existential purpose? If not, I hope you eventually do. If you have begun to embark on a journey into your mind’s inner recesses, then never look back. Simply forge ahead with the desired goal always ablaze before you. The universal power that swirls around us shall take care of the rest. As long as you always continue to have an open mind and accept the results of your lessons learned, the power of unseen universal forces shall direct you to the next level in your state of being. Your higher self awaits you!
