As the new aeon arrives on the Earth, we will require a new kind of human being to navigate through the stormy waters of present day challenges and to create solutions based on the spiritual principles of harmony, balance, and respect for life. At this time on the Earth, many souls are awakening spiritually, and coming to more deeply understand and experience their own unique and divine spiritual origins.
When a soul, embodied in human form, begins to awaken and realize their inner connection with spirit, a new path is forged within the body, mind, emotions, and consciousness. The awakening human being begins to experience a greater depth of communion with Spirit, and many new questions arise. One very important question the soul asks is, “why am I here?”, and “for what purpose did Spirit create me?”
For some on the spiritual path, an inner understanding of divine soul purpose emerges relatively early in the spiritual journey, guiding and supporting them in the directions needed for optimal growth and manifestation of their life's work.
For others, knowledge of divine soul purpose eludes the human embodied self for quite a long time, necessitating a period of “walking in the desert” with little outward or even inward support that can be perceived. This period of seeking is purposeful on the soul’s part, but may cause deep suffering to the embodied human self that feels empty, meaningless, and worried that they may be going in the wrong direction.
The manifestation of our divine soul purpose is as unique and precious as we are. The best way to discover that which is the guiding essence of our life's purpose is to look within what desires, dreams, aspirations, hopes and longings we carry most closely in our heart.
Spirit created each of us so carefully, and uniquely for the sacred purpose we embody. Think of the beauty of a newborn baby, the precious nature of their tiny fingers and toes, and the sweet wisdom in their eyes. We can see the divine blueprint of the soul clearly in the radiance of their simple and innocent being. In this same way, we are created uniquely for our spiritual purpose, with every finger and toe, every hair on our head, known and accounted for by Spirit’s infinite wisdom and grace.
Small children naturally begin to embody their soul purpose, even at a very young age. They are attracted to certain people and situations, and they relate to their environment in their own unique fashion. They may love animals, or spend their time drawing and painting, or they will play with cars and trucks, heal the neighbourhood cats, or lead groups of children on the playground. They may enjoy singing and dancing, or they may read voraciously, or tinker with their computer. All the natural tendencies within, if allowed to flourish and expand, will lead a child to manifesting their divine soul purpose.
And what of we adults, who may have grown up in less than optimal circumstances where our natural tendencies were not supported? Perhaps we have forgotten what we most loved to do as a child, or perhaps even thinking about this brings up the pain of what we endured as children. How can we discover our divine soul purpose?
It may be comforting to know that we have not lost anything, even if we no longer feel in touch with our inner desires. The deep inner longing of our heart is never extinguished, even in the most difficult of circumstances. This is a quality of the soul that is eternal, that will lead us to manifesting our soul’s purpose.
If we feel uninspired, disconnected from our Divine Soul purpose, it is possible to re-connect, by contemplating on this and creating a sacred intention to reconnect with our inner being.
Conscious intention activates a path of healing that will lead us towards that which we desire. If we have been disconnected for a very long time, we may find ourselves experiencing deep emotions of grief or pain, as the re-connection to ourself is restored. If we can breathe and be with these emotions, without repressing them, simply holding them in Divine light, this will create a healing and a freeing up of inner space. When they arise say, “Hello old friend, I know you.”
The discovery of our Divine Soul purpose lies within our heart’s desire. What do we most deeply long for? If we could do anything in the world what would that be? The path to manifesting our unique gifts in the world begins here, and then expands outward, as we begin to take actions based on our heart’s calling. Our true life’s work is this, to listen, follow, share our gifts, and manifest all that we are in the world of physical form. For this reason we came to the Earth at this time, to share all that we are with all of life.
