In my last post I proposed: “How do [we] find [our] purpose?”

“We are each born with our own unique “spark”- a certain light, energy, vibration, character-and-quality that drives us to become who we will be. If Purpose is why we exist then life itself is all about purpose.”

Your Purpose, then, is made up of the things that bring true satisfaction to your life. Purpose will drive you to accomplishment unlike any other thing can! Purpose makes you focus. Purpose makes you organize. Purpose inspires vision for new things you’ve never done before but you know without a doubt you can accomplish. Purpose brings peace and  joy. Purpose makes you a person worth learning from.

There are people in your life who can help guide you toward it, but no one can recognize your purpose like you and The One.

I feel there is a very important thing that needs to be said here: We have all made mistakes. Mistakes are opportunities to learn. Mistakes are experiences along the road that we must mature through. The same is to be said of pain- things that have happened to us. Our mistakes and our pains require us to decide what our next step will be and how we will respond to these experiences from here and on out. You will either allow wisdom to become your companion, leading to enlightenment, or you will allow ignorance to blind you- hardening all your senses and making Purpose that much more difficult to live out. Or you will take some of both. Neither is right or wrong. Only The One knows how your choice will end and there are always more opportunities to grow, mature and even correct things that went wrong.

None of this is to be our focus though. Our focus needs to be on the life we have NOT yet lived. Will we allow the past to control our future? The future is as free of your baggage as you allow it to be. Focus on what you want to do and what or who you want to be and “just do it!”. Follow your deepest love. Find and do what you love! Find ways to use it to make the world better. It will then fuel/drive you daily to devotion and commitment and excellence. If it doesn’t do that, you haven’t found the right thing.

After much distraction and learning I am ready to continue where I left off.

“It is my full-hearted understanding that Purpose is why we exist. Purpose is the only thing that will satisfy what we selfishly fight for at the expence of others. In other words, when you live purposefully, when you have found the reason you exist and live focused on those natural goals, you will be happy, content, at peace and have no need for selfish desires. You  will be able to discard those self-centered motivations when the time is right (maturity). Purpose protects others from you…

…How do I find my purpose?”

We are each born with our own unique “spark”- a certain light, energy, vibration, character-and-quality that drives us to become who we will be. If Purpose is why we exist then life itself is all about purpose.

Nothing in this world is more valuable than unity. Unity is the center target of Purpose. Unity is the mark. In all our human complexity of intellect, emotion and double-mindedness, unity is the grand finale of our existence both individually and collectively! The pain of all of this chaos is guidance to the realizations of how ignorant and horrific we can be toward one another and our planet. In these realizations guilt must become our companion that leads us to the door of CHANGE- the choice to stop consuming for own selfish gain and start understanding, helping and supporting one another in order to change our families and communities for the better.

So then, Purpose has given each a unique role to play. It seems to me that those who live half-awake, run mostly by selfish motivation, end up playing roles that are less desirable in the end. But if they would awaken to the dawn of who they are Intended to be, they would uniquely contribute to a world soon to be found unified and they would find more than all they need to simply live in peace. Some roles are great and remembered throughout the world and affecting it forever. But most are profound in small communities of people- families, friends, neighbors, co-workers… actions and memories that inspire more responsible actions and memories.

If unity starts any where it is INSIDE each of us. Only then can Unity affect change through us into our world.

I have found my uniqe purpose. I know, after much toil and experience and experiment what is in tune with the richest pitch and resonance of my soul… AND I’m doing it! With it comes vision and hope for a very attainable future that requires my focus, my devotion, my love and patience. My purpose will take me to The End.

I must say that purpose, though unique for each of us, always involves protecting, loving and guiding others- unity. If you do not see or feel this truth, you are missing the very foundation of why you are hear to do what you are hear to do. The rewards involved with being true to your self- your purpose, are satisfying;  like a simple drink of water when one is parched. Sure there are other liquids that one could drink, but when you are truly thirsty all you care about is water- satisfaction. Who could ask for more?

Yep, today is my birthday. Another year of my life has flown by and I am ready for another. My kids are growing up so fast and for some reason, this year, I have come to an even brighter perspective of the major realization that the old saying it is true: the older you get the faster time seems to pass.

I haven’t actually celebrated my birthday, in the form of a birthday party or gathering in at least 12 years! Out of spiritual conviction I have always seen my birthday as an opportunity to NOT be self-centered, which of course is quite contrary to our Western culture. I do not recall one person who has ever really understood how I feel about that and why it’s important to me. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

I have noticed that we humans are, generally, addicted to finding any and every reason possible to be selfish or egotistical on as many occasions as possible. This is the human condition.

This system of things-this way of life, is a beautiful letdown… A mesmerizing lie: riches but poor inside, fame but without a friend, Lexus cages and imprisoned souls, who’s who? and who am I?, easy living but not much life there…

I want more than just ok, more than just a good time, I wanna be more than fine. I see what’s real… With all those material desires comes a sh*t-load of concerns and worries because the comfort if it all is addictive and fleeting… Moving faster than I can keep up with. I will never have it all and maintain a humble approach to life, love, relationships… God.

“Easy Living”, would you PLEASE take me off your list. Your version of it is always mixed with selfish and blind living that is robbed of what matters most. Take me off your list of those who were deceived, believed the lie and trusted it as Truth; telling us where we need to go, what we need to know, how we need to dress, what we need to be…

I have stood on the edge of myself and our world because I knew there was so much more than what I’d heard…. So many conversations filled with empty words…. and I am convinced that we are meant to live for so much more. In so many ways we have lost our selves, our inner most being, the essence of who we are, our souls.

We live with our eyes half open, we are bent and broken… Don’t close your eyes because the Reality is passing you by. You are probably gonna miss it.

We are oceans away from the Original Intent, and yet we have the power to come within a quantum leap of it.

We can blame it on so many things: corporate policy, capitalism, politics, our forefathers, our ancestry, our religion, our parents, you don’t know what Ive been thru, you don’t know what so-and-so did to me, how they treated me… But you and I are the ones to blame if we choose to be the victims and repeat their mistakes in even silent and indirect ways.

I have spent enough time pursuing what I thought I “loved”, material and egoic things that only turned out to be burdens that kept expanding and requiring more of my attention from Truth (the things that matter most).

I have found all I need… rest and tranquility after constantly chasing down things I could never keep with, things that simultaneously stole my life away- pure agitation. I have found peace, guidance and health that illuminates things I don’t understand. It has softened my inner rigidities and walls I once hid behind.

There should come a time when you grow up, face your fears and realize life is not all about you… That there is much that requires your selfless attention, especially the well-being of others.

I finally have reached what I think is the pinnacle observation to be seriously noted on your birthday. Another year has come and gone. What have I done with my life? What am I doing with my life? Am I living purposefully or am I just wandering, half-awake, day to day immersed in the selfishness of my world?

It is my full-hearted understanding that Purpose is why we exist. Purpose is the only thing that will satisfy what we selfishly fight for at the expence of others. In other words, when you live purposefully, when you have found the reason you exist and live focused on those natural goals you will be happy, content, at peace and have no need for selfish desires and will be able to discard them when needed. Purpose protects others from you.

If you are depressed, angry, jealous, agitated, wondering what you are doing, feeling like you are wasting time, spend your energy living for the next new thing on the market because the first thing left you unsatisfied, addicted to ANYTHING, thieving and unfocused, living without purpose- living without an ultimate goal and summary of your existence…

You are not living on purpose. The question is: How do I find my purpose?

This is your life. Are you who you want to be? When you stand on the edge of your self, what do you see? Or are you too afraid to go there? I dare you to swim upsteam, against the current of a drowning world.

I’m not giving up or backing down. I’m a nabiya warrior, fighting for unity on all levels.. A silent resistance without arms, declaring how it is, how things are and how it should be instead of jumping on the bandwagon toward destruction. I’m living on purpose.

As The Promised One once said, what good will it do to gain the whole world, the newest, the most advanced, the shiniest, but lose your self. Spiritually speaking you are racking up a bill you cant afford to pay. All that junk will be left to someone else soon enough. Let it go. Find your self.

I have found my purpose and it has nothing to do with finding attention nor more stuff for myself. That only throws mud into the clarity of who I am.

Life is not what I thought it was.. I am not who I thought I was…? There are plenty reasons to admit that I have contributed to this human-wide problem and my excuses are limitless strong. But Im not copping out when I know this dead man is being raised to true life. I Am

What I got for Christmas this Year!?

I could tell you about the particular material items I received for Christmas but Im not going to. I would rather tell you about the things I received that matter most. The things that truly make a differnce in my life and in the lives of many. Don’t let that confuse you. Yes, these are gifts given to me personally, but this is how we know they are worth mentioning, this is how we know they are from Above: the impact they have in my heart and the way they affect others through me.

Jesus was visited by the wisemen and given magnificent treasures: gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The treasures I received this year are:

- a heightened awareness of The One, within me, within others and surrounding. Words can hardly express what this means, but it is probably the most foundational or elementary principle of Christmas that seems to be lost in our current age.

- an understanding that with God their isn’t always a right and a wrong. It is more about timing, conditions and environment; maturity and immaturity, ripe and unripe

- God is always working to enlighten us, even those we have given up on or have no patience for

- religion is dangerous because it is run by man. God is not religion and neither does it take religion to know God but it does take devotion to cultivate the relationship.

- an awesome and fresh appreciation for my wife and a realization of her role as a cornerstone in the life of my children and myself. That makes her more and more beautiful to me every day.

- an awestriking glimps into the perspective my children and their dependence on “mom” and “dad”. This has brought forth a continual and deep wave of love that is fathomless. I want to be at my best for them.

- a true understanding of leadership as a service and not an opportunity to be served, but an opportunity for exponential influence.

- all of this has brought Wisdom and insight into the nature of life, why we exist, a deeper understanding of the human purpose, what unity is all about and how the world can accomplish it.

- honesty with love and respect, in order to bring wisdom or ease-of-living into some elses life is the best and most courageous thing we can do. Seize these opportunities because they may only come once. Some people want to appear to be more than they are and know more than they really do but that is their problem. If you fill inspired to share treasures of wisdom with them, you must!

- the ability to shift perspectives and paradigms to understand those of others. This is astounding and very humbling. You can never understand what a person is going through until you have walked in their shoes, even if the situation is exactly like something you have experiened. Perspective creates very different experiences.

- realized how enviably fortunate I am to have a vacation for a vocation- the chance to proffessionally do what I absolutely love. I NEVER “go to work” as they say. I go ” to have fun”. This makes life so much easier on you and your family. Find what you are passionate about: the thing you have a natural inclination toward and DO IT. Don’t sell yourself short for money and status quo. The end result will not be worth it. A life wasted by material and egotistical ends is certainly not desirable… And yet that is the make-believe fairy-tale life most are trying to live today.

- Love isn’t some thing that you automatically have for people. Love grows; sometimes emerging from within; sometimes kindled slowly by time spent in relationship; sometimes sacrifically- at the expense of your self-image. The sacrifice of love is the most miraculous and the ultimate proof of whether you know God and are like God or not. Love that is based on the way you feel (how good something or someone makes you feel, or how good of a mood you are in) is worthless and the most irrelevant of loves.

- Christmas is about remembering The Promised Mashiach (messiah) and all the things he did.

- Christmas is about remembering all the wonderful, enlightening and mysterious events of our lives that inspire us to keep moving forward on our journey and being thankful for them.

- Christmas is about new beginnings.

- Christmas is a grand opportunity to forget our petty human traditions of selfish giving and receiving. Why not just let each other know how much you appreciate them and are thankful to experience life with them. On the first Christmas God gave and the wisemen gave but no one else did. I think that is very significant. What miraculous and mysterious treasures did God and wisemen give you this Christmas?

And perhaps you will be fortunate enough to experience the wonder of it all in the thoughtful gifts you receive from loved ones… Your very own wisemen.

I have had a series of reminders lately that life, as we see it from our human perspective and experience, is short. I have a friend who is on his death bed with out warning. He is one of the neatest guys I’ve ever met… But, of course, I never told him that. People lose others all the time and are filled with regret because they didn’t say what they now know they needed to say. I don’t want to be one them… those who had numerous opportunitites to share the deepest parts of the human soul and encourage someone else but chose not to, for some selfish reason (usually fear).

I want to have the courage to stand and deliver the words of truth when they are most ready in my heart to be delivered… those nervous sweaty palm moments… Or those moments when the words just come naturally.

Similarly, because life is short, why would I live it performing only for myself? Why would I live to cheat, lie, hide things, steal… Why would I settle to live as less, when I can do more and be more for people around me? Why would I live as to set myself up for regret when I hit my death bed or when my friend hits theirs’? Why not rather live to the fullest, in selflessness, appreciating others and my self with respect and understanding?

Life is too short to waste it on things that cause me to look over my shoulder and double check my errors for hiddeness. That is not living. It is preparing for regret.

Culture that belittles ancient myth as false or primitive but cannot
see the myths of it’s own liking, in the form of holidays and
entertainment, are no different than those of the ancient world, is a confused culture.

Myth in and of itself does not represent falsity. Myth represents the
reason we believe; the reason we live purposefully day by day. Even
though myth may be summized of inaccurate ideas, it is the hope it
gives the culture that is important to it’s people. Making the issue of “myth” into an issue of “right and wrong” is to misunderstand the fundamental reason “myth” exists. It is more than untrue stories believed by ignorant, primitive people.

History as we know it in textbooks and memory is imperfect, making it
mythical in it’s own way: each person recounts it as they see fit or
need to within certain personal boundaries, including the flaw of memory.

We need to realize the power of what we call myth is the heart of
living: believing in purpose whether good or bad. For some believe in the “myth” of the horror film and entertain themselves thereby while others believe in the “myth” of Christmas’ Santa Clause and enjoy it accordingly.

It is “myth” that reminds us to look for the magic in life because it
really is here! We allow adulthood and modern paradigm to rob us of
the joy and playfulness of childhood. The danger of this is obvious
all around us. Just look! People are dangerously self-centered,
respect for others hardly exists anymore, appreciation for the simple
things in life is forgotten, stable and loving family lives are all but
dead, the environment is suffering from human malcontent and thus
threatens to wreck our comfortable yet hopeless living; yes many of us
live without hope- just trudging along day to day addicted to selfish
desires and more hopelessness.

The ancient worlds use of “myth” needs to replace the idea the moderns worlds’ idea that life is simply material. We’ve abandoned joy and purpose for the notion of NOTHINGNESS! The paradigm in which everything is “simply” material, is the pardigm in which life is not worth living.

AND what kind of foolishness is it to say everything is material and
at the same time say there are things such as electromagnetism, gravity and
quantum phenomena. We all know these exist. So why waste time
entertaining the thought of materialism? Are we so shallow and
hopeless that we’d rather lie to ourselves because we love the prison
of our selfish suffering so much?

All heroes carry a larger-than-life mythical aura. Even modern ones. In this way we are no different than the anceint world but far more blind, hypocritical and thus egotistical-liars in our “advanced” living.

The holidays are upon us and it is the perfect opportunity to renew
the sense and the power of the “myth”… Exploring the non-material
AND material reasons/purposes for why we and all of life exists.

Allow Thanksgiving and Christmas to open your eyes to the magic again.
Take the opportunity to be selfless and also… to wonder and be in awe.
