Entering the Portal of Divine Purpose
There is a part of you embedded deep within cellular memory that
remembers your intention for this lifetime. This intention is your
Divine purpose. All of life unfolds within the cosmic soup of the
universe according to Divine Will and Divine Intention. There is no
random or chance creation.
We ask you to imagine for a moment this cosmic movie where a soul
wishing to incarnate expresses this desire to the universe. Energy
immediately begins to coalesce around this intention. But as with all
manifestations, the setting forth of purpose greatly accelerates the
wish into reality. Much as a writer makes his pitch or proposal to a
prospective publishing company, the soul petitions the universe for an
opportunity to incarnate into a physical body. Imagine this petition
as an actual printed document. Within a successful petition for
incarnation there is a well-expressed paragraph clearly stating the
purpose for this incarnation. This stated purpose represents the need
for an understanding in the natural evolution of the soul wishing to
incarnate. For example, the stated purpose might be to learn
unconditional love for self and all others.
Your Life Purpose Reflects a Needed Understanding
This is not to say that the purpose for a lifetime will always be such
a "graduate level thesis proposal." A purpose is always in alignment
with the current needs of the soul to understand. For instance, a
purpose might be to spend a lifetime sampling every kind of material
wealth imaginable so at the end of the life, an understanding is
gained that material success without spiritual growth leaves one
feeling empty and hungry for more. In a further lifetime, a spirit
that has come into this knowing might then combine material wealth
with spiritual vision and create great opportunities within the world.
History is full of stories of such individuals. Unfortunately,
historical tales only span the journey of one lifetime rather than the
arc of lifetimes that culminate in great achievements and gifts to
humanity.
In a future time in Earth's history, biographies will take into
account the arc of lifetimes so the full scope of a gift to humanity
may be understood. At that point in time, all beings will understand
their present lifetime in terms of its placement within their arc of
incarnations.
As your consciousness expands, you will learn how to follow the
threads of manifestation and creation back through time to perceive
the unfolding journey of consciousness across lifetimes. You will be
able to trace Einstein's arc of incarnations that allowed him to gift
humanity with the Theory of Relativity, or to understand the unique
cycle of lifetimes and "life purpose" choices that allowed a Ghandi or
a Mother Teresa to walk the Earth. For now, it is enough to understand
that the universe does not "judge" one's stated life purpose, but only
requires that the purpose be in alignment with the need for growth and
understanding of the soul at the time it is requested.
The Blueprint for an Incarnation
A plan for achieving one's spiritual purpose would be briefly outlined
in an incarnation petition. This is a loosely structured blueprint of
how one will go about carrying out one's spiritual purpose. For
example, the task of learning unconditional love might follow a plan
of experiencing early in life a lack of love. This lack of love sets
up an all-consuming desire to find love, which sets into place a
seeking and asking. When followed to its fullest potential, this
seeking results in the realization that in order to "have" love, one
must become love. This is in accordance with the Law of Attraction;
like attracts like. That which exists at the vibration of
unconditional love attracts to it more of itself.
It is important to understand that fully grasping unconditional love
is a major undertaking for a soul in a given lifetime. Most likely,
achieving an understanding of this magnitude would be spaced across
multiple lifetimes with all previously gained understandings finally
culminating in one lifetime. Because of energetic shifts taking place
at this time, many souls are launching "culmination" lifetimes where
understandings gleaned over many lifetimes are more readily coalesced
to achieve the graduate-level status that is a prerequisite for
experiencing fifth dimensional consciousness.
Culmination Lifetimes and the Sequencing of Life Experiences
Lifetimes where the overall purpose involves achieving a major
understanding such as unconditional love are lifetimes of deep
commitment to one's spiritual path. Choosing a major purpose for a
lifetime sets into motion a sequencing of life experiences designed to
bring the ego into deeper and deeper levels of surrender to the higher
self. Over time, this brings the conscious mind into constant
telepathic communion with the higher self.
The circumstances chosen to create this telepathic communion can be
dramatic in that they are created to awaken consciousness and bring
the ego into a state of alignment with the soul's purpose. It is
mind-boggling to contemplate the distance the ego/conscious mind must
travel to come into this state of alignment with one's spiritual
purpose. Imagine an ego that is focused on acquiring a new sports car
changing its focus to that of world service and helping to raise the
collective consciousness of all humanity. You might wonder how many
steps must be undertaken to create this shift in focus. The answer is
many small steps or several quantum steps or any combination thereof.
Symbolic `Deaths' and `Walk-in' Consciousness
Many souls choose to undertake major shifts in consciousness gradually
over lifetimes, following a kinder, gentler course of soul growth and
evolution. By contrast, those souls who choose a "quantum growth"
lifetime set into motion intense life events such as near-death
experiences or other extreme challenges to plunge themselves into
deeper states of awakening with more dramatic and profound results.
This example of the near-death experience is symbolic of the act of
freeing oneself of the shackles of physical life while remaining
incarnate. In undergoing symbolic "death", the ego surrenders to the
spirit's purpose for the lifetime and effectively exchanges a more
human existence for that of a conduit for spirit on the Earth plane.
When this circumstance occurs, the consciousness is sometimes viewed
as a form of "walk-in" consciousness.
The story of Jesus is a metaphor for what happens when "spirit
incarnate" walks the Earth plane creating miracles of transformation.
To bring this into even plainer terms, life force energy freed of the
shackles of illusion and karmic debt is the essence of what is defined
in your world as "miraculous." This is the kernel of Jesus' teachings.
There is a saying that the greater the sacrifice, the greater the
magic. The word "sacrifice" carries connotations of deprivation and
lack, but this is a misunderstanding often perpetuated by ego-directed
minds that do not yet understand the true nature of joy and bliss. We
offer to you this definition of sacrifice: releasing everything that
exists outside of Divine Purpose. Aligning with your Divine Purpose
in this lifetime is the strongest "magic" of all, in that it strips
away everything that stands in the way of total joy, bliss and
unconditional love. These states are the natural condition of
infinite beings. Until the conscious and subconscious become aligned,
an individual is locked into physical reality by "veiled"
consciousness. Aligning with Divine Purpose is the key that turns the
lock and opens the door to planetary and personal evolution.
