What happens if you failed your life purpose

It can also direct. But agreeing with you.

I hear some people say that if you fail a lesson, you just repeat it in your next life (or again in this life). What if the lesson is one you started multiple lifetimes ago, do you need to repeat a process that is going to take numerous lifetimes to complete?

What if being wounded so deeply is a Life's Purpose?

If we are "Spirit on a human Journey," how can we have anything other than a Spiritual experience? Perhaps the 'failure' is not in the Life's Purpose but in the failure to understand our experiences from the perspective of Spirit and the reasons you as Spirit would choose a 'bad experience'.

"If you want to understand Spirit you have to think like Spirit." Granted Spirit doesn't think as such but you are.

If you think that that is your life purpose, then you'll get wounded. It is like a self-fulfilling prophecy, because your emotions shape your reality.

It isn't that your perceptions cause your emotions, but your emotions cause your perceptions!

But, you shouldn't believe me, nor any other guru or dogma. Learn it by yourself directly from your inner source of guidance. Just be careful to make your inquiry completely unbiased, with no preconceived expectations.

You and the "spirit" are the same, two different aspects of the same entity, depending where your attention is focused. Your spirit is only marginally more aware than your conscious here.

Your inner guidance is much wiser, but that isn't you, it is just there to help you, if you ask and listen.

If you're going to open that can of worms then you have to look at the whole perceptual reality thing and psychology, and in particular for this it's also about understanding cognitive behaviour and cognitive dissonance. It's cognitive behaviour that we're talking about here if there's a perception of failing, not Spirituality.

The prophecy is already fulfilled, it's only the lack of perceptions we have about time that doesn't realise it's already a done deal' before we even come here. All of time is happening all of the time, and all of time affects all of time all of the time. In Spiritual parlance there is no time. This is where the beliefs in Fate and Destiny come in.

My point is that Life's Purpose isn't always about sunshine and roses, and we gain so much more from a 'wounded Soul' than we ever could sitting under a cheery tree and meditating. There are very good reasons for things being the way they are and sometimes our Life's Purpose isn't just about us, it's often just as much about other people.

As expected, I disagree. I have a different view of the reality.

Not much point otherwise, is there?

I get the sense that it can be. You learn some deep, profound lessons that maybe cant be learned any other way

[lemex]

Yes. it can be both as been mentioned and neither are fated. I think one finds it is Spirit that is on a spirit, not human, journey. But also what I've observed we do not choose (create) the experience out of thin air but follow it.

Freewill is about creating.

I don't think an old soul has as much of a problem as a young soul.

I love it whenever you post, lemex. Thanks.

When a person makes a mistake (say in achieving something) and he /she genuinely recognizes the mistake as such by himself/herself or before some spiritual mentor (like Father in church) , they are relieved of the guilt of the mistake . If a person does this as mere ritual devoid of the real feelings of confession/lesson, he/she is not being sincere and lessons may not really have been imbibed.
