Unconditional Love for a New Life and a New World

1. Relax. You are already living your purpose, right now.

Before incarnating you chose a bunch of life lessons for you to learn in this lifetime. That’s a big part of your life purpose. As planned before your birth, you will find yourself in situations designed to help you practice these life lessons. This will happen no matter what you do or don’t do. So alone by staying alive, you’ll have no choice but to fulfill this part of your life purpose.

Another part of your life purpose is to express who you really are at soul-level in your third-dimensional, human life. Here again, alone by staying alive, you are already doing this. You express who you are 24/7, in everything you do, even when you are brushing your teeth. Your energy is permanently being broadcasted around you and expressed physically. You cannot not express who you are. So, relax. As long as you don’t commit suicide, you are already doing your purpose.

Maybe it would be even better to consciously practice your life lessons. Maybe it would be even better to do lots of healing work on yourself in order to strengthen your core and to let go of everything that’s not really you, so that what you express and radiate is as close as possible to your very own essence. Maybe it would be better to make choices that are totally authentic to who you really are. Okay, maybe. But the point is, even if you are riddled with stuff that’s not really you and aimlessly stumble through the fog… you are already now living your purpose.

I believe that a big part of our purpose on Earth, aside from learning our life lessons and expressing our soul-level gifts into the physical, simply is to live. We came here to experience ourselves as separate, physical entities. We came to make choices and experience their consequences. We came to co-create some awesome reality together with others, to use our creative power, and simply to have fun.

I think we tend to over-intellectualize the whole purpose thing. I used to wonder what I was here to do and to think about it a lot. I’d read articles about our life purpose, do exercises to find it, I even bought entire books about living on purpose. Every time I’d see some article or newsletter about getting clear on our purpose I’d jump on it like a hungry dog on a bone. Now I’m not interested in any of this stuff anymore.

We are mainly here to live. As long as you live, you are doing it right. Every day you experience yourself as a small, separate, physical Being. Every day you make choices, even when those aren’t too conscious. And every day you experience the consequences of your present and past choices. Sometimes quite noticeably, even. Well, that’s the goal! You are permanently creating your reality with every thought, feeling, action, relationship you engage with.

No matter whether you like your life or not, doing all these things that you do every day IS the purpose. So, there’s no way you could be failing at living your purpose. :)

2. Your purpose is to be experienced, not known.

The mind loves to know. That’s human! However, I have noticed that knowing our purpose is not necessary in order to live it.

Of course knowing about our life lessons can help to practice them intentionally. Knowing our soul group or energy center of training or other details about our life purpose can certainly help us to understand ourselves better and to make choices that align with who we really are or to choose a particular direction in life.

However, none of this is required in order to live our purpose. The goal is to BE who we are. That’s our purpose. It’s not necessarily to know who we are. The mind can be quite limiting, and we often don’t see ourselves accurately. We all have our filters through which we see reality, including ourselves.

Knowing is not required in order to live our purpose. You could simply be doing everything you feel like doing and never give a shit about your purpose, and live your life more on purpose than someone else who spends their time thinking about their purpose and trying to force some intellectual knowledge onto themselves, that does not resonate with their heart.

This tends to happen to me at times. Like, I do something that, on paper, sounds like a perfect match for everything I know about my soul – and yet I feel frustrated, unhappy, disconnected from myself and I’m broke on top of that. And then I drop it and do something I really feel like doing that does not make any sense, and suddenly I’m back on track.

This happened just recently. I know I’m a healer, right, and I’m here to restore the original blueprints of this planet and its inhabitants. I was doing spiritual healing sessions in which I was, literally, realigning people’s original blueprint. So what I was doing was exactly aligned with what I know about my purpose. And I was feeling really bad. I loved my work, LOVED my clients, and really wanted to support them the best I could – yet I kept feeling off-track, unhappy, misaligned, unmotivated… I had a dozen emails sit in my inbox from people who were interested in a healing session with me, and couldn’t manage to reply to them. There was always something getting in the way. I didn’t have time, I was tired, had too much on my plate, didn’t feel like it, and so on. I thought “What’s wrong with me? I should be happy to have potential clients. I am doing exactly my purpose. This work is a perfect match for me! Why am I so unreliable?”.

That’s because I was doing what I knew was my purpose. But we know only as much as we can implement at the time. I had evolved beyond what I knew. Instead of following my heart on my true path, I kept clinging to what I knew. I was preventing myself from evolving any further this way. Knowing our purpose is not always the best way to live it. Sometimes it can even hinder us.

At some point I felt really really frustrated. I felt SO off-track. I cried out: “I want to take care of someone! Animals! Babies! Old people! Whatever! I just need to take care of someone!”

Two weeks later, my grandma became ill. She needs to be taken care of 24/7 day and night now. In the last couple months that’s what most of my time has been dedicated to. Additionally one of the cows on my family’s farm had twins and not enough milk to feed them both, so one of them needed to be fed with artificial milk by a surrogate mother. I assume this responsibility now. Then last week I got a second baby calf, a newborn who had a very difficult birth. Sadly his mom didn’t survive it so he’s an orphan and needs my care too now. Every day I take care of the little cows, feeding them, brushing them, cleaning them up and loving them.

So now here I am, taking care of animals, babies and old people, exactly as I had wished. Here and there I occasionally squeeze in a little healing work, a blog post, a few emails or some webdesign, but I am way too busy to do much of my regular work. And you know what? I feel WAY more on-track and fulfilled than before!

I think it’s not good to think about our purpose too much. Information sure can help to some extent at some point in our evolution, but don’t over-identify with it. Make sure you do something that makes you happy. It does not matter how much it corresponds to what your mind thinks your purpose is. My mind certainly did not think taking care of calves was my purpose. But the truth is, if I had a dozen emails in my inbox from people asking me to take care of calves, these emails would have been answered a long time ago, and now I would be taking care of a dozen calves. And I also found out that I am NOT unreliable when what I do involves animals. For weeks now I’ve been preparing that milk every twelve hours precisely. How’s that for being disciplined. :)

Ditch anything that looks good intellectually but does not make your heart sing. When you are living your purpose, you just feel it, no matter how much you know about it. In your heart, you will know. Your purpose is in your heart, not in your head.

3. Nothing is meant to be – but there IS a path for you.

There are only two things that you are meant to do in life:
1) be born
2) die
Everything else is up to you.

There is something in your soul record called destiny points. These are things that you planned to do in this lifetime before your birth and that you really really need to do to not get stuck in your life this time around. When I study people’s soul records, I usually find just two destiny points: birth and death. Now that you really really need to do when you incarnate.

It is extremely rare that I find more than those two destiny points. This means that between your birth and your death, you are free to do whatever you want. What you will face a lot more often are choice points. Choice points are times in your life when you need to make an important choice in some life area. Making the choice is important. Which option you choose, much less. :) You’ll learn something no matter which path you go. The path is up to you.

It’s useless to keep searching for what you are “meant to do” (or for the soul mate that you are “meant to meet”). Nothing is meant to be. You came to Earth to experience your creative power. You are free to go for whatever you want. You’re the creative designer of your life.

However, it has also been my experience that there IS a path I am walking, and that I need to stay on it. It is true that I am free to go for whatever strikes my fancy. But when I let my mind choose arbitrarily, I usually end up feeling frustrated, misaligned with myself and off my path.

I believe this path is not set in stone. Every single one of my choices modifies it. It changes all the time. But there IS such a path. I cannot just choose arbitrarily to create whatever. Well, I CAN, but some choices just feel wrong. They won’t lead me to my true life. They won’t bring me closer to my soul. My ego might find them exciting and great, but deep down it’s not what my path is. Usually I have a pretty good knowing of whether I am walking my path or not. It’s not a rational thing, but it is real.

For example I can clearly feel right now that taking care of my baby calves is a lot more aligned with my path than doing soul profiles or intuitive readings or public speaking about spiritual development. I don’t know why, but I just feel it. That’s my path. My heart is with the animals.

I’m crying a lot these days. Because my grandma is dying and because I so badly want to save the little cows from the slaughterhouse and don’t know if I will succeed or not. But even if I fail and even when it hurts I know I’m doing the right thing.

4. Living your purpose happens step by step.

If you don’t know what you want at all, just go for what makes you the most happy in your heart and do that until you find something else that is even better. We permanently course-correct. It’s very rare for someone to have total clarity about what they want to do with their life at age 5. Usually, we travel through life in a series of consecutive course-corrections.

Like I became a psychic, then a spiritual healer, and now I feel drawn to working with/for/about/around animals. As we grow, we refine our work to fit our purpose more and more closely. This happens in steps, not at once.

Each step teaches us something important. Each step allows us to heal some past stuff and to get closer to our soul. It has been my experience that the next step is only revealed when we are done taking the previous one, learning from it, evolving and adapting. Then the next door opens, which was not even visible before.

Wanting to jump right from the start line to the finish line is a cop-out. It doesn’t work that way. If you’re not living your purpose in the biggest, most perfect, shiniest ways right now, it’s that you’re not ready for it yet. If you found out what exactly your ultimate end game purpose is when you are still at the start line, you would probably be so overwhelmed that you’d freak out and be unable to act on any of it anyway.

It takes courage to walk our path in the fog without knowing where we are going, seeing only the right next step. But trying to see the finish line from the start line by having a comprehensive, detailed intellectual understanding of our purpose, that’s our mind’s need for control. We need to let go of this fear in order to embrace our true purpose.

5. You can reach your purpose through healing.

I have noticed something very interesting while working with clients: as we removed stuff that’s not really who they are, one layer after the other, my clients naturally would tend to step more and more into their purpose. Even when they didn’t know anything about it. It’s really fascinating to observe!

It is a natural tendency for us to make choices that beautifully align with who we really are. Sometimes, we are disconnected from who we really are. There’s negativity clouding our vision. Or there’s too much foreign stuff that’s not who we really are disrupting our vibration. Or our energetic space is so porous and permeable that we pick up on everybody else’s stuff, and end up not knowing who WE are anymore. Or we are blocked and unable to claim our right to make authentic choices. And so on. All kinds of things can happen that prevent us from living our purpose, aka being who we really are.

When we let go of all that’s not really us, of all that clouds our vision and disrupts our energy, and when we allow ourselves to go back to our original state, which is one of balance and health and happiness and love, and when we strengthen our own core, then we start hearing our calling so loud and so clear, and we feel drawn to it with such a strong passion, that we just cannot not live it!

When we are energetically clean, we automatically live our purpose, because that’s the most natural thing in the world for us to do.

I experience the same thing myself. For a long, long time I had some negative stuff at soul-level blocking my relationship with animals. For a long time I was completely unable to go there, because of this past stuff, that was so terribly painful.

The thing about negativity at soul-level is that it does not just drain your energy and make you feel bad. It does drain your energy, and it does make you feel bad. But additionally it makes some choices just unavailable. Some opportunities just don’t show up in your life. Some decisions just cannot be made. It does not even occur to us that we could do some things.

This was the case for me. Too much was standing in the way between me and the animals. When this stuff was removed (it took several healing sessions), I was finally able to SEE the truth, and to attract opportunities related to animals into my life. I believe I would not have been able to recognize my path if I had still had this stuff with me.

Now the passion I feel is so strong that staying away from it is just not an option.

And I’m far from being done with it. There is still a lot of stuff to be removed, and I don’t have clarity yet on what exactly I want to do with/for/about/around animals! Nor on what will come after that, the next step. I won’t know until I’ve fully taken this one.

6. Your purpose is RIGHT NOW.

You don’t need to do anything “before” you can live your purpose. You don’t need to have a lot of money nor to have all your shit together nor to be perfectly healed nor to be in any way what you are not being right now. Really. I used to think all of this but now I think I was wrong. You are already living your purpose right now, and if you want to live it even more intensely, you can do that, right here, right now.

Our purpose is essentially about putting certain energies out there. Of course our actions express and ground these energies in the physical. But basically this isn’t about actions, it’s about energy. You can put a certain energy into anything you do. It’s all about your intention.

I used to think something like “Right now I cannot live my purpose because I have no money and what I do now isn’t aligned with my purpose so I need to put my dreams on hold until I am financially safe and super mega healed and have it all figured out”. That’s not true. It’s a time-consuming illusion.

I suggest you pay more attention to all the small things you do every day. What kind of energy do you put into these things when you do them? With which mindset and intention do you do them? And, what kind of energy do you want to put into these things? What would you like to express in everything you do? What are the daily choices you make? Are they aligned with who you are?

When I eat food prepared by certain people, I get sick, regardless of how healthy this food was. Their energy was in the food. We put our energy into everything we do. I put my soul into this blog post. You put your soul into the food you cook, into every word you write, into every hug you give, into everything you create or do. Before thinking about living your purpose in BIG ways, you can start right here and now by living it in the small things.

Just be very, very mindful. Stay centered in your core. Make conscious choices. Be aware when you do things. Put your soul into them. Go inside and listen what your soul says, and do what it feels drawn to.

At soul-level, we are all connected. There is no time or space. You are just as relevant as the most successful public speaker. What you do, think, feel and experience affects everybody else, the whole planet, all the time. You can sit on your couch and the way you feel will influence me here at the other end of the world. That’s why the point is not so much to worry about what your purpose is. It’s to live every single day being “you” as much as possible.

Bottom Line:

• If you want to live your purpose, don’t think about it too much.
• Just clean up energetically. Clear all negative stuff at soul-level and all unhealthy energetic patterns from past and present relationships (for example through spiritual healing), including stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with your purpose. Make your energy field balanced, centered and strong (for example through energy work).
• If you receive information about your soul or life purpose, don’t over-identify with it long-term. It can be very useful and you are getting the information for a good reason. Just remember it is meant as a guideline for immediate action right here and now, not as an absolute truth.
• Take it step by step. The goal is to evolve, heal and grow until you reach your ultimate end game purpose, it’s not to find out what it is and jump right there at once. (You wouldn’t be able to anyway.)
• Listen to your heart (not your mind).
• Do what you naturally feel drawn to doing. Right now, right here, in your everyday life.

Basically my advice is that you focus on healing, not on thinking about your purpose. When you heal, your purpose will just happen, don’t worry about that. :)
