Purpose 🎆

It’s my photo, but it’s not my quote

Today I am feeling a bit off.

Not sure how to describe it.

I know we all have days like this.

Maybe I need to delve deeper into the why’s, ignore it, or just embrace it.

Perhaps a bit of all 3.

The last few days I’ve been having this almost “out of body” feeling.

My body is in one place, but my mind is floating outward or above it.

Stress?

Dehydrated?

Sleep-deprived?

Nervous breakdown?

Ascension symptoms?

Time for some grounding?

“Practice what you preach..”

The thing is, I do.

I am perfectly aware of where I am in the 3D.

It’s the 5D I’m trying to shift to.

I had an interesting experience the other day.

A woman from my work said, “I am nearly 60 years old, and I still don’t know why I was put here on this Earth!”

The words stuck with me for many reasons.

I couldn’t imagine not knowing what my purpose in life was, but I understood she was lost and confused.

I have always known we are here for a reason.

All of us.

So I ask you, if you would so kindly…to participate in an exercise which makes things much clearer for me, always.

When you have time alone, find a room with a calm atmosphere, one that is quiet, where you won’t be disturbed.

Sit down, and get comfortable. However, please sit upright so you are conscious enough to be aware.

Breathe deeply.

In through your nose, out through your mouth.

Releasing stress and tension.

Focus on your breath for a few moments, and be present in your thoughts, moving away from stress and worry.

Trust.

Think about what makes your heart happy, what gives your soul meaning.

And ask yourself:

“What is my life’s purpose?”

It can be in your head or out loud.

Please take only the first word that comes to mind, maybe the second.

Don’t allow ego to come into play.

Normally the first word is the true purpose. The second word sometimes can be as well, but anything beyond that is the ego speaking.

So, what did you get?

I would love to know what your answers are, if you feel inclined to share.

I almost always get healer.

I’ve done this exercise a few times, and sometimes I get healer, teacher.

Although I don’t think I’m anywhere near yet where I am able to teach someone, I do hope that might change someday.

We are often questioning our egoistic self; seeking a light at the end of the tunnel, wondering “Is this all there really is?”

You’re not just here for mundane reasons.

I hope you know, you have a purpose.

  1. I think it took me, till my mid thirties to see my path the best I could assume anyways. Time is experience, many of us barely take time to know ourselves before we strike out in the world find a mate and begin another generation. I asked myself what am I best at and consistent in, so far in my life, and then decided to focus all my energy on those areas. Now 20 years past that time, Im sure of my purpose here!!

    yes energies have been extremely strange since about the first of the month, great changes are underway!!!

    • Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment! 😊

      Indeed, I do think it takes time to “find yourself.” As Socrates said, “know thyself.” Reflection on this very simple concept is the key, but is actually not simple at all.
      Many and most will never truly know what their real desires are, or perhaps they are afraid to go against the grain, are afraid of what everyone else will say; and so on and so forth. So much of life is people bending to others’ expectations, and it is not the true way to experience life as we are meant to.
      But you can’t tell them that. They must come to the realization themselves.
      Often times, people think they are happy, but they are masquerading.
      Thanks again, 🙏 and yes the energies are definitely stirring up something a bit different lately! Haha 😆

  2. Sometimes a “purpose” can be as simple as a life lesson one is supposed to learn this lifetime. You were right about setting ego aside in the search for an answer here. Too many people get tangled up in the ego-driven idea that a purpose is supposed to be grand and glorious. The biggest changes made to peoples’ lives are often little acts of kindness or cruelty that snowball and affect so many others.

    For what it’s worth, I think you and I both have a similar life lesson right now; accepting who we are and our own power.

    You’re already a more capable teacher than you realize. When you accept yourself, you’ll be great.

  3. That certainly is an interesting exercise. The first few words that came to mind were “helper” and “to be there for others”.

    At this point, I don’t really know what my purpose is but I know when it came to my writing, I wanted to have my writing say something and that it’d help other people in some way. So, I guess it’s not wrong.

    When I started reading your post before you even mentioned that out of body experience, I was like, “I bet she’s disassociating.” It’s certainly sounds like you are. The most common symptoms are, out of body experiences, derealisation (disconnect from surroundings, feel dreamlike), depersonalization (disconnect from body, thoughts and /or feelings) and occasionally memory loss. Grounding is exactly the thing to do to remind your brain that it’s safe to be your body. You can even chew gum to trigger your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) to tell it that things are fine.

    It’s part of the freeze stress response and tends to happen if the threat can’t be escaped. It’s why a lot of sexual abuse victims freeze up because they can’t escape and this reaction happens automatically in what some literature terms the “lizard brain” rather than consciously in the prefrontal cortex, responsible for decision making. It actually shuts down somewhat in moments like those.

    Hope you feel better soon😊

    • You already are such a helper!
      Look at all you’ve told me! I do think your writing really does help others, it comes naturally and easily for you. I went and remembered to buy gum from the store just because of your comment 😊
      And yes, you’re right, it does sound a bit like disassociation. I’m not too sure why, been a lot of stress and anxiety from outside forces around me lately, but…this too shall pass and I will overcome it 😊

      Thank you so much again!

  4. I love that you posted this. I have been to the highs and lows of life like everyone and always knew my role: protector. I’m INFP, which I didn’t know or care until recently. It explained a lot. I’m also a high D personality, furthering the mix. Fitch is the developer. I am reconstructing my entire existence because my life, not head, is setting afloat. I posted recently that I believe the forefront and deep inner workings of my mind had become disconnected. Emergency mode? Mold poisoning? Covid? No clue and until about six months ago I’d have been happy to lay down and die. Just so tired.
    You all have helped me get stronger, shift from family protector to individual in a new existence. You’re my lighthouses. Should you need me, in sincerity, I’m available!

    • I can definitely see you as a protector! I have an IN personality type too, and I’ve tried to take that dang Myers-Briggs test again over the years to see if it would be different, and it’s not, haha. Thank you so much, and always feel free to reach out, you are most definitely very strong! Happy to have you here, always. 😊

  8. life is a lease not a full owner of nothing, no control a higher force says and speaks on it. how we treat one another and the planet. how we love, say things through love, not idol or material fantasy love, actual eternal. allow yourself to stay humble and see the villages of soul around you not a house divided which the world pushes divide and conquer, higher sense for another soul
