How Are You Living Your Life Purpose?

Today, I read another story about researchers’ scientific efforts to cure or slow down Alzheimer’s. Many such articles catch my attention. It’s impressive how so many focus on this malady.

Loved ones rarely, if ever, have the capacity to understand their condition. It’s far too complex for anyone in their “right mind” to accept it without going through layers and layers of experiences words cannot encompass. Perhaps one day there will be ways to see then stop the brain’s ‘de-fragging.’

“Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” 
Rumi 

These barriers to which Rumi refers are numerous. Going through life unaware of these barriers is like driving an expensive sports car along a steep mountain road wearing blindfolds, not just one, but many.

A Hole in a Flute

“I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through; listen to this music!” 

That quote, from the 14th Century Persian mystic and sage, Muhammad Hafiz, is one of my all-time favorites. His poetic reference to Spirit being “the Christ’s breath,” and his admonition to open ourselves to the sound current by “listening to this music” never ceases to move me; the imagery is exquisite. 

An Exercise in Abundance and Love

Our judgments become the rules we have agreed to live by until we change them. Changing them is the easy part; uncovering them can be difficult.

As an example, while going over some early memories of my mom, I discovered a hidden judgement. I remembered how, during hard times, she would always say, “Don’t worry, we’ll always have enough.”

I attributed our family’s emotional stability to her wise and comforting words. And, true to my mom’s belief, the Universe always brought us enough. I was thankful for that. However, it struck me one day that we never had more than enough!

Living Life Proactively

In my metaphysical classes, I am fond of saying, “Whatever you perceive is you.” And I am hardly alone in this understanding. Deepak Chopra puts it this way: “Look out into the world, and what you will see is a mirror of yourself.”1

My favorite adage on this subject comes from the late Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the Hawaiian psychologist who made the Polynesian spiritual teaching of Ho’oponopono popular. Regarding objective life, he simply says, “There is no ‘out there’ out there!”2 

Even if this concept sounds remotely possible, you may be asking the same question I did when I first heard it: “How does this understanding make my life better?” 

“It’s All Good”

“By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; 
if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.”
Socrates

Our friend, Rich, understands that every situation can be viewed in a positive light. “It’s all good,” he says.

At first, I thought he was saying “have a nice day” in a new, catchier way. Rich is cool, you know. But now, I see the phrase as something much more important: a powerful spiritual exercise for healing our past.
