Most
of us experience the burning question at some point in our life - “Who are we,
why are we here and what is our purpose?” And spend a long time looking for an
answer.
Some
come into it by an aching curiosity, and some come to this journey out of duress.
Some will analyze it to death by going deep, and some will just leave it be… but
I have to tell you; all the masters, all the visionaries, all the knower’s of
the world and beyond have not come to any single agreeable conclusion.
There
are of course, commonalities that we all go through – Pain and suffering being
number one. The second is the extreme complexities and mysteries in the
Universe that our simple minds cannot yet comprehend, and another is a huge
separation we have instilled throughout our society by race, creed, color,
religion, and status.
It
all begs to have answers so we can have a logical understanding of yin/yang,
black/white, atrocity vs. beauty.
But
a solid answer…? It will never happen. There are too many variables, too many
opinions, and too many outcomes.
Even
if there were a tangible answer, it wouldn’t matter; all we do in our Humanness
is complicate what is innately true.
So
while Science and Religion and their theories are in conflict, (one against the
other along side of us - battling for the exclusive right to be right), we
invent narratives. Stories and explanations to whom and why, what and where.. (Because
it makes us feel better and intelligent) … And we ponder.
But
here is a thought…there is nothing to do –
We
are born; we die. What we live in-between is living.
And
self love? It is gone, thrown out like trash - We continue to suffer, yearning
for the elusive explanation all the while we mistreat our mind, our body and
Soul with poison thoughts/food/and lack of pleasure and activity. It is no
wonder we cannot hear the answers, we are too closed off – but still want to
know why we cannot get an explanation and retribution from it all.
Ego
check -
So
the question still remains, how can we find truth in a world that holds so
steadfastly to an ‘absolute’ and when we are full of drama and negativity?
Perhaps
this will help –
Pay
attention. Pay close attention to the whispers of the Universal knowing. Hear
the sounds of inertia singing loud, beckoning us to answer the call to change.
Purpose
is revealed when the heart can respond to these calls.
When
we decide to stop whining and complaining about the trivial, get out of the
doldrums of the urban/suburban mentality that lays wasted in material wants, clarity
will find us. Life completely alters when we get out of our heads and into
being of service to someone, anyone that we meet along the path.
Purpose
is born out of the flow (kindness, service, truth) then, it will die and be
born again. This is our cycle, just as like seasons – everything new becomes
old then new again. It changes as we increase our intellect along side of the
natural intellect already in place for us…. All truths are held in the sacred
home of our heart.
Love
rules and Kindness knows no borders. So when you are asking the eternal
question – listen carefully, thoughtfully and mindfully to the answer. Then
live it.
Our
duty is as simple, (but no less, or no more important) than our breath and the
way we chose to live our life (minimal or to the max.) Intention and
follow-though will carry…
How
we accomplish it…. ? That is a different subject. (dl)
