LESSON 1: Part 6 Purpose
 

MY LIFE PURPOSE

We all came into this lifetime with at least three purposes. Our life is a success if and only if we fulfill these three purposes:

  1. Learn to love others more than before.
  2. Learn to love ourselves more than before.
  3. Learn to love the Divine more than before.

1. Whatever you believe about reincarnation is immaterial. We all love other people and the rest of the creation to some extent. Out first purpose is to love all of these things more than we did. More is better. The more we love other people and everything in the creation, the better we fulfill this mission for our lives.

2. A basic principle of life is we cannot love anything more than we love ourselves. This is not narcissism or a selfish form of love. It is a selfless and accepting love of ourselves for the person we are at this time of our lives. We accept we are a Child of the Divine expressing ourselves to the best of our ability and loving ourselves and other people and all of the creation more and more each day.

3. Since the Divine is everything, we are loving the Divine by loving ourselves, others and the whole of creation more and more . We also love the Divine more and more when we come the the realization the Divine created everything for us to use in order to love more and more.

These three purposes are expressed as the 1) Divine Below, 2) Divine Within and 3) Divine Above. We also have other purposes for being here in this place at this time. Most of us have four more purposes:

  1. Create a physical environment that will support and nurture other people and creatures in the creation. (Earth)
  2. Perform a specific service helpful to others that i love to do and which will support myself and family. (Fire)
  3. Subdue my passions that are harmful to myself and others by becoming calmer, more peaceful and happier. (Water)
  4. Learn more about myself and others and everything in the creation. (Air)

Ponder these four purposes and ask yourself?

  • What would make me happier? What do I have to do, experience or become to feel happier?

  • What would make me feel more content? What do I have to do, experience or become to feel more content?

  • What would make me feel more fulfilled? What do I have to do, experience or become to feel more fulfilled?

The answer to these questions are a reflection of your values, gifts and things you love to do. Do whatever you love to do that utilizes your values and gifts and you will be fulfilling your life's mission. Do anything else and you are not.

In the conclusion to these short lessons we'll teach you the secret to living a fulfilling, joyous and happy life. People pay thousands of dollars to learn this secret only to discover they knew that all along. Can you guess what it is?
