Whats your purpose, whats your mission in life? Do you know?

[Miss Hepburn]

What it always is...all the lifetimes I can remember...
get rid of my stupid rough edges and become pure....pure enough
to ascend to the next place, then purer still to reach to the Higher Celestial Realms....YAY!
Purpose summary...get higher and higher...
becoming more powerful by becoming clearer and more
and more fearless, realizing more
and more the Nature and Mind of the Creator....kindness, humility, charity, love all come when
I seek the highest...which I consider to be purity, wisdom, truth...aka His Kingdom...
Really accepting my full potential...and that would be to banish limitations!...like my Father would like for me.

Good question.

Yeah, "purpose?" isn't really a question I ask . I serve all and all serves me
but that's like ...automatic. So I'll ask the question a little differently :
Dude, where's my Porpoise ?

Well this is a weird question.

I know in one of my past lives I was a woman who couldn't have kids but I had my husbands child and was taking care of her.

In another life I was trying to get pregnant, but it never happened because of reasons.

Ever since I can remember I wanted to have a child. I think my soul really wants one. BUt in all I think it might just be to open up and accept the fall-out.

This was my primary question in life.

Simple answer: To learn.

Living it, would hate the alternative.

I know my answer is as vague as it can get, but everything else seems to come and go. Ultimately even life comes and goes, so more specifically I think it's to be remembered for something good.

Some do it through being a good parent while others throw around the course of human history for the better of all, I'll see how far I can go. We all have slightly different ways of expressing our transcended selves. I'll live to my fullest potential, and I promised myself to love every moment of it.

Perhaps I should comment first on how I see the issue of "mission in life". It is slightly existentialist in that I think that we need to conceptualize and choose our mission(s) in life. We aren't granted missions from anywhere outside of ourselves as individuals.

However, my view is mainly eudaimonic in that I think that we need to be sensitive to what we feel in our gut about what we may best accomplish and enjoy in life. In other words, whatever choices we have about what we might do with our lives, we should not ignore our deep sense of what would be meaningful to ourselves.

My mission is life is perhaps modest. It is simply to be a philosophical person who enjoys life for what it is, and who develops a bit of wisdom and good character along the way.


eudaimonia,

[quote=umbridge]Thanks for answers.
Take care. [/QUO



Life is the purpose and taking care of life.

The mission in me is more about living it with that purpose in me.
The experiences of my life are varied, so living with that intent is what I try to do.

I have only just recently been shown mine, one is to experience the physical human experience, and the other is to allow gods presence to flow through me. Neither happen at the same time as to feel one I do not feel the other. If that makes sense.

I'm not sure it's a purpose but I look at it that way. I've found, thru the help of Carl Jung, my strong personality traits and from looking at the opposite of those strong traits, I was able to see my weak ones. These weak ones, when allowed to grow, connect you with that which is unconscious to your rational mind. At least it did for me. They are a doorway to the divine in the process called individualization as I see it.
For me the transformation was amazing to watch unfold once I realized my weaknesses or better yet that which kept me from realizing my wholeness.
It almost seems like they were my lesson to overcome in this life. A purpose if you will.
