Why Are We Here?

The
Paradoxes
It is a paradox that everyone is here for the same reason and yet
everyone has an individual purpose. Everyone is here to experience life
as deeply as possible, and yet your individual purpose is to explore
your unique character. Everyone, therefore, has an unique function within
the infinite variety of Creation.
Another paradox is the question of destiny versus freewill. People
seem to have freewill, and yet, if destiny exists, wouldn’t pre-destiny
cancel freewill? Not exactly. Here’s how it works.
You planned your overall path through life before you were born. That
life plan is your overall destiny, but the details of life leave plenty
of room for freewill. You could even use your freewill to change your
whole life plan, but then, why would you want to change your own life
plan? The fact that your physical brain doesn’t remember your
own pre-made plan doesn’t hinder the fact that it continues to
unfold as time goes by. Your inner self, your soul, remembers your plan
perfectly. One of the functions of your inner self is to give you hunches
that you can follow. These hunches, when acted upon, assist you to explore
your life’s potential to the fullest effect.

Meditators
Have More Fun
Regular meditation keeps you in tune with your inner self and helps
to guarantee that you get the most out of life by being in the right
places at the right times. Then synchronicity can unfold in the form
of meetings and events which support your life’s purpose.
At a soul level, you are a member of an extended family of many hundreds
of people. All of these people know and love you, so there are always
ample opportunities available for incarnation through parents that you
already know at a soul level. People usually choose lives where they
can surround themselves with members of their extended soul family.
People in the same soul family share common themes. They are in tune
with your consciousness and therefore interested in the same issues
and experiences in life.

Before
the Veil of Birth
When it was time for you to incarnate into this life, you viewed several
alternatives, including several possible sets of parents. Your final
choice offered you the best opportunity to explore the activities and
issues that you have been experiencing.

How much detail goes into planning an entire lifetime? Destiny exists
for the main events in your life – the major choices, events
and connections in your life. Important relationships are carefully
planned
so that they have the best chance of happening. Your parents and your
environment are chosen for how they will mold your life in the direction

that you wish to explore.
In the pre-life planning stage, you actually get to see how everything
will turn out as you explore different alternatives and scenarios.
Then
you make your big choice. You say, “I’ll take Fred and
Freda Smith as parents. I’ll be their baby boy, starting in
9 months when I get born. Until then I’ll hang around them in
spirit, at least on and off, until it’s time to emerge and
become a baby person.
Then
I’ll grow up in their family, attending that local elementary school.
When they move to Phoenix as planned, I’ll go to high school there and
meet my old buddy, who’ll be called Freddie, and he’ll be the same age
as me. Sylvia’s family will move into town when I’m sixteen, and being
her boyfriend will start to shape the direction of the rest of my life.
We’ll go to the same college together and explore the idea that she
will need me to support her while she goes on to medical school to
become a doctor.” And so on, and so on, as the plan unfolds. Each plan
eventually includes a series of agreements orchestrated to interact
with the plans of other souls.

Themes,
Issues, Adventures
Personal themes are planned for exploration in life, as well as soul
family themes. Also, there are cultural themes and global issues, especially
in today’s growing global awareness. One theme that society has
been developing over the last few decades is the issue of liberation
from the imbalance of a patriarchal society.
At the same time, an even larger shift has been taking place –
the shift from a consciousness of separation to one of integration.
Separation consciousness has been the theme for thousands of years.
We have separated into tribes, then countries and empires. We have separated
ourselves by race, sex and religion. We have even separated our own
consciousness, focusing it further into the external world and away
from the inner light which is the very source of our consciousness.
One of the first differences that will be noticed as the world evolves
towards integrated consciousness is that people will care more about
their work. Most people today see their work as a means to an end, as
a way to pay the bills and maybe get ahead a little.
Tomorrow, people will work at what they love and they will care deeply
about the quality of service that they provide, because they will care
for their customers. Of course, there are people who work just like
that today, but they are in the minority. Tomorrow, it will become the
new standard, the new work ethic. Loving what you do and doing what
you love.
The
purpose of being human in today’s Shift to the New Reality is to learn
how to translate universal love into human form. Universal love is the
aspect of original consciousness which holds Creation together. The
universe is, by its very design, filled with the love of the Original
Creator.
Once universal love has been transformed
through the heart-consciousness of a human being, it enters the global
mind atmosphere of Earth which we all share. This upgrades the entire
human experience, taking us one more step into the unfolding New
Reality.
