The universe and you (especially you)


For two and a half thousand years philosophers and religions and scientists have pondered the meaning of life. Why are we here? Were we created or have we merely evolved? Is there a God? Why does evil exist? Why do we suffer pain? And they're still pondering.

My purpose in using the term ... "everybody's guide" ... is to bring the impossible and the universal scope of the matter down to something which can be resolved in a mere Squidoo lens. Let me bring the question down to refer just to you and me, tiny specs of dust in the huge scheme of things.

What is your true purpose in life? 

What is your purpose, and mine, in being here? ... never mind the bigger and unsolvable questions better left to the philosophers, the religions and the scientists. Why are you and I here? It's a fair question and one which impacts directly upon us as individuals and our everyday lives. What the hell are we doing here?

The answer I wish to give is somewhat shocking if you've never thought about the idea that our souls existed before we were born. We make agreements ... she calls them sacred contracts ... before we are born to achieve certain goals during our lifetime. This is our soul's purpose and the only meaning of life that should really matter to us personally.

But wait. I can already hear you shouting indignantly at me, what about free will? Why should I do what my soul wants me to do? My life is mine to do with as I wish. Ah yes, I agree. But it was you, your own soul, who decided these things and much of the world's sorrows ... failures, depression, resorting to drugs or hitting the booze, even suicides ... occur when we are not meeting our soul's goals. Unfair? Sure. But I believe ... having experienced the ultimate failure of bankruptcy, losing everything (including a marriage and my freelance advertising business) and falling into severe illness caused by these events ... that this is the ultimate secret of our existence and at the heart of so many of our problems.

This was the doorway to discovery, of my true purpose in life, when doors have flown open and the red carpet is rolled out at every turn. The world is full of examples ... look at Billy Joel who so often has said how he can't believe he gets paid to do what he does. He's one person who instinctively found his soul's purpose early in life.
Like it or not, this is the meaning of life at an individual level. How we find it, well, that's why I've created a website (see RSS feed below) and why I'm writing this lens. I don't want you to suffer the same fate as me. I want to shout to the world that THIS IS THE MEANING OF YOUR LIFE AND THE PATH TO TRUE HAPPINESS.

What the Greek philosopher Plato said about destiny (or life Purpose)

"Your destiny shall not be allotted to you, but you shall choose it for yourselves." ('Republic')

Plato called our destiny our "career on earth."

"Now, when all the souls had chosen their lives in the order of the lots, they advanced in their turn to Lachesis, who dispatched with each of them the Destiny he had selected [then] in a moment the souls were carried up to their birth, this way and that, like shooting stars." ('Republic')

 

'The Roar From Within: Your Destiny Calls' - a complete course, workbook & meditations 

With the addition of 3 valuable free bonuses you will have more than everything you need to find & live your life purpose & change your life forever.

Do you ever feel a roar within wanting to find expression? Maybe it's only a whisper but it's there, wanting to have its say. You want change ... but what, where and how? Doing what?

For a long time there was a roar inside of me but I had no idea what it wanted to say. I'd complain about my life but when asked, well okay, so what do you want to do? I had no satisfactory reply. I didn't know what it was that I wanted, what words that roar should speak to satisfy its desire for expression - and action.

If you have experienced that inner restlessness, the feeling that something was wrong in your life and/or your career, an inner knowing you were meant to be doing something but couldn't quite put your finger on it, then this will interest you.

You have a gift to give, a lesson to learn and a debt to pay. This is the secret of the ages, the secret of the true game of life. To master this secret, you must focus your attention on the right one. Here is why: if you focus on your lesson, you will miss giving your gift and create a debt.

But did you know that you - we all - have a gift to give? It doesn't need to be anything monumental or world shattering, just something you know  about and are able to give - if only you knew what that gift was.

The Universe is waiting for you to give your gift. Until you do, you have a debt. However, if you worry about your debt, you will miss giving your gift and never pay it off.

So here is the key: concentrate on your gift and you will be shocked at how the Universe rushes in to support you! I know, because this happened to me - even before I knew anything of this ancient secret wisdom after years focussing on the wrong path in my life - and I failed, bigtime.

The ROAR FROM WITHIN program will guide you through an exciting journey to develop your intuition, discover your natural gifts and receive the answer to life's most important question: "Why am I here?"

Everyone must discover the answer to this question for themselves. It is part of the sacred journey. But having the tools to assist you makes it easier than stumbling along. Intuition and meditation are the most powerful tools for self-discovery. With this course, you will discover that this is the clearest and best way to get the answer to your question.

The Roar From Within program is deliberately structured so its exercises and guided meditations will gently lead you along the path of awakening to who you truly are. Follow the course faithfully, and you will know. Here is an example of the kinds of outcomes you can expect:

> Find your soul mate, and finally have the loving relationship you have been searching for.
> Create your dream job - a successful, highly-fulfilling career that you can't wait to get out of bed to go to.
> Create your dream home.
> Create more money in your life and dissolve limiting beliefs that say you can't.
> Create the means to travel to anywhere in the world you desire to go.
> Create powerful self-confidence.
> Create better health and unstoppable willpower to maintain healthy habits.
