Life Purpose — Could Finding It Be the LAST Thing You Need?

What is Bill Gates doing here with me? He’s a great example of someone who didn’t just sit around contemplating “Life Purpose” but went out and actually did something with his life.

(A more prosaic answer, also true, is that a recent blog-coversation reminded me of the silly series of photos taken when I launched “Wrinkles Are God’s Makeup” at the Wax Museum in San Francisco, and I think I’m going to show some of them this month in various posts.)

Silly pictures aside, as someone who does aura readings and empathic merges with clients, I bring a different perspective to LIFE PURPOSE than my friend, Life Coach Sharon Greenspan. My experience leads me to wonder if trying to find your life purpose could be the LAST thing a person needs.

OH, IS THAT ALL?

Recently I had a client for an Aura Transformation session who gave me this intention for our 55-minutes by phone. “Sondra” said: 

Find all the blocks in my aura and remove them. Tell me my life purpose. Help me know what to do day-by-day in my life.

Sure, and what were we going to do with all the extra time after I wrapped that up?

Actually, for that session, we wound up finding one very practical aspect of Sondra’s life where she felt most stuck. We wound up doing a lot of powerful healing to help her live better and resume being in charge of her life.

Yes, that search for someone to tell you LIFE PURPOSE can be part of surrendering power to another person. I don’t care whether that “person” is an angel or “Your Higher Power” or a gossipy next-door neighbor or a renowned writer like Eckhardt Tolle. Isn’t the person in charge of this human life supposed to be YOU?

It’s one thing to co-create with God, as God’s grownup. It’s something else to be God’s baby, surrendering and asking to be led like a sheep. During the Piscean era, humanity needed the latter. During Old Testament times, to feel spiritually connected you would need to hunt that sheep down, slaughter it, give it up as a burnt offering. But now in the Acquarian age?

Sometimes person just feels stuck — and doesn’t everyone sometimes? Then the thought comes, “I’ve tried fixing things and it hasn’t worked. So maybe the problem is that I don’t know my purpose. If I did, everything would magically be better.”

GET BIG PERCEPTION AND YOUR LIFE CAN FOLLOW

Here’s a different kind of magic solution: Waking up the magic in everyday life by reading life deeper. As in my brand new book, Read People Deeper. (Advance copies go on sale today.)

Stuck in your job? In your marriage? Bored with yourself?

Don’t just blame the outer. And don’t just transcend regular life through meditation, other spiritual practices, or doing far-out spiritual reading. Move as deeply as you can into your human life, using your unique human consciousness.

How? Do aura readings or empathic merges (done safely, as explained in Empowered by Empathy), or try reading faces.

When you do this, you open up a whole new world within this world. And it must might make that human life of yours far more worth reading.

COULD IT BE CODE?

Recently I have wondered if the pop culture search for Life Purpose could be a kind of code term. Maybe people are conflating it to mean “Awake inside, living with the consciousness where I see deeply into life, day by day.”

If you are yearning for such a thing, you don’t just need one pat answer. You could need a pat on the forehead, a Third Eye Opening.

This is something I facilitate for clients during sessions of Aura Transformation. I do it as appropriate, as part of a session for spiritual expansion. (And if a Third Eye Opening doesn’t seem appropriate, I explain why, based on other observations about your aura.)

Sometimes people hearing that term think I do so mechanical kind of valve opening in the subtle body. I’ve been told “this could be dangerous.” Actually, I explain my style of how to do this deep in the pages of Empowered by Empathy. Nothing about it is dangerous or radical or mechanical. It’s a removal of blockage, akin to cutting cords of attachment.

If you’re interested in this kind of session with me, please don’t imagine a fantasy version. No, you will not instantly become omniscient. No, you’ll probably still have to work for a living. And, no, what happens with a well-opened third eye is not getting a one-sentence statement of purpose, “Oh, I am supposed to be a taxidermist.”

CHOOSING WITH FEEDBACK FROM YOUR AURA

One more possibility belongs in this context of Life Purpose. Your aura itself can give the most perfect, detailed, insightful feedback about any life choice. I call it doing a Thrill Your Soul session, and I do sessions like this a lot.

• You list a bunch of choices. (Yes, YOU list them, not some big authority outside yourself.)
• You tell me which aspects of life you’re concerned about, and I find the relevant aura databanks. Is it making money? Having a great sex life? Feeling powerful? Having self-esteem? Being able to express yourself? Letting creativity flow? Being respected by others?
• Then the real fun begins. I do baseline readings of each databank. Then I find out right from your aura the impact of each choice. Does it thrill your soul, help you prosper financially, or simply suit your intellect?

One caution, though, about this research. Don’t choose it if you only want to confirm a decision you’ve already made. I can still remember the fury of ”Noelle,” a client who wanted to become a screenwriter. She had it all figured out that the purpose of her life was to be a rich and famous screenwriter. My role was to validate.

Instead, I told her the truth, as it showed in her aura. This big screenwriting career was a fantasy. Many other choices suited her better. This was so not what she wanted to hear!

KNOWING THE ANSWER

Okay, Noelle was unusual. What do most people really want to hear when they seek “My Life Purpose”? I wonder if, perhaps, many people equate having one piece of spiritual information with having the consciousness of All Truth Everywhere Now, spiritual enlightenment.

But consciousness is not an idea. It isn’t even an idea about spirituality. Instead, consciousness is an experience. You can wake this up in a variety of ways. (Yes, they include reading faces, reading auras, becoming a skilled empath.)

Consciousness is something you have THROUGH your senses, not just WITH your senses. Remind you of the title of a book you know?

So use your consciousness, friends. Take that ONE BIG ANSWER idea with a grain of salt.
