Ep. 13/ you can’t be anything you want to be
Your one highest purpose for your soul in this lifetime already exists. you don’t have to “find” it. you allow it to happen through you.
you can be anything you want to be but can’t create your dharma. it existed before “you.” Your job is to clean, simplify and listen. then comes the natural process of surrender.
You are not the doer.
WATCH OR LISTEN NOW
There is a true you, beyond your desires and fears that cannot be anything you want it to be. For some, the statement will be outright rejected and yet for others relief will be felt in not having to pretend that you know. You choose.
But this idea that you can’t be anything you want to be is a very counter-cultural statement for us now. For most of us have lived with the sentiment in popular culture that with hard work and resource anything is possible. Possible maybe, but peaceful and meaningful, well, you can simply look around and see the outcomes.
You may say, “oh yes I can!" And you’re right - who you think you are can do whatever it wants to do. But there is another truer you - the essence of your spiritual being, described as your soul. It has only one highest purpose for this incarnation. You get to allow it to work through you, or not. You get to choose.
What we weren’t taught was that that “anything” is most likely not your highest purpose. And when not in alignment, suffering is likely to be the underlying experience of the work of this life.
Wisdom was never imparted to us about the nature of aligning to true purpose. But that’s mostly because many of us never contemplated what the true purpose of a human incarnation is.
This is a talk about what all of this means and how you don’t have to go looking for your purpose, you allow it to work through you.
“there is tremendous joy and relief in discovering that you don’t have to find purpose. you allow yourself to open to it happening through you, not by you.”
Bala
