Searching For You

How do you find your true calling in life? I'm not referring to your occupation, your regular obligations, or even your long-term objectives. I refer to the actual reason you are even here, your being.

Perhaps you're a fairly pessimistic individual who doesn't think life has any significance and that you have a purpose. Nothing matters. Just like you can trip even if you don't believe in gravity, you can still find your mission even if you don't believe you have one. If you're one of those people, just change the number 20 in the title of this blog entry to 40 (or 60 if you're stubborn). Lack of belief will only cause it to take longer. Although you probably won't accept what I'm saying if you don't think you have a purpose, even so, what is the danger of spending an hour just in case?

This Bruce Lee tale serves as the backdrop for this little practice. Bruce was requested to teach an expert martial artist all he knew about the discipline. Bruce raised two cups, each of which contained liquid. The first cup, according to Bruce, "represents all of your martial arts expertise. The second cup is a visual representation of my whole martial arts expertise. You must first empty your cup of your existing knowledge before you can fill it with mine.

You must first purge your mind of all the false goals you've been taught if you want to find your actual purpose in life (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).

So how do you find your life's purpose? There are various methods to do this, some of them rather difficult, but this is one of the easiest ones that anybody can complete. It will work for you more quickly the more willing you are to let it work and the more you anticipate it. But as long as you persevere, being closed off to it, having reservations about it, or believing it's a complete waste of time won't stop it from functioning; it will simply take longer for convergence.

What you should do is:

Open a word processor or a blank piece of paper and start typing. I like the latter option better because it is quicker.

What is my real mission in life, write at the top.

Any solution that comes to mind, write it down. It doesn't need to be a whole sentence. Any brief sentence will do.

Once you get the response that makes you weep, repeat step 3. This is the goal you have.

I'm done now. It makes no difference whether you're a bodybuilder, an engineer, a counselor, etc. This activity will make complete sense to some individuals. Others will think it is completely ridiculous. It typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to free your mind of all the clutter and societal conditioning around what you believe to be your life's purpose. The incorrect responses will originate in your head and collections. But when the real response does come, it will seem to come from altogether other sources.

It may take more than an hour for people who are deeply ingrained in low-awareness life to get all the incorrect answers out of their system. But if you keep going, eventually, after 100, 200, or maybe even 500 responses, you'll come across the one that breaks you and sends a wave of emotion through you. It may seem absurd to you if you've never done this. Make it appear stupid, but yet do it.

Some of the responses you come up with throughout this process will be fairly similar. You may even list earlier responses again. Then you may take a detour and come up with 10–20 additional responses around a different subject. And it's all right. As long as you simply keep writing, you may list any response that comes to mind.

You may wish to stop the process at some time since you don't see it convergent (usually after 50 to 100 replies). You may be tempted to get up and find another activity to do. That is typical. Overcome this opposition and just keep writing. It won't take long for the opposition to disappear.

Additionally, you could come across a few solutions that make you feel a little emotional but don't quite make you weep. As you continue, mark those responses so you may return to them and come up with new combinations. Although each illustrates a different aspect of your goal, together they fall short. These kinds of responses simply indicate that you are starting to feel warm. Carry on.

It's crucial to do this task by yourself, without interruption. If you're a nihilist, you may say, "I don't have a purpose" or "Life is pointless," and go from there. You will still ultimately converge if you persist.

I completed this exercise in approximately 25 minutes, arriving at step 106 with my final response. Steps 17, 39, and 53 saw the appearance of some of the solution's components (mini-surges), while steps 100 through 106 saw the majority of the answer come together and be improved. Around stages 55–60, I experienced resistance (wanting to get up and do something else, anticipating the process to fail, feeling very anxious and even furious). I took a two-minute break at step 80 to relax, clear my head, close my eyes, and concentrate on the intention for the answer to come to me. This was beneficial because the answers I received after this break started to have more clarity.

My ultimate response was to live deliberately and bravely, to vibrate with love and compassion, to awaken the great spirits inside others, and to go from this earth in peace.

You will have a profound sense of resonance as you discover your special response to the issue of why you are here. You'll see distinct energy in the words, and you'll experience this energy each time you read them.

Finding your mission is the straightforward part. Keeping it in mind every day and developing yourself to the point where you become that purpose is the difficult part.

Just wait until you've finished the process before asking why this little procedure works if you're tempted to do so. After doing that, you'll likely have your explanation for why it works. Most likely, if you ask 10 different individuals (who have finished it successfully) why it works, you'll receive 10 different responses, each of which will have its unique reflection of truth since it will have been shaped by each person's belief system.

If you stop before convergence, this procedure will fail. In less than an hour, I'd estimate that 80–90% of folks should reach convergence. If you're very resistive to the process and firmly rooted in your ideas, it could take you 5 sessions and 3 hours, but I have a feeling that such individuals will either give up quickly (like within the first 15 minutes) or won't even try. But it's unlikely that you belong to this group if you're attracted to read this site (and haven't yet been moved to remove it from your life).

This post has become longer than expected, hope you managed to finish it.
