“we should live the life we came here to live”, which article was claiming we should live the life that God/Universe has planned for us, as that’s our only purpose.

Hi Angi

I’ve always like what Joseph Campbell said about the question of meaning and purpose. “It’s a waist of time to ask the question when You are the Answer.

You are It!”

Life does not give you purpose or meaning but  ‘You’ that gives meaning and purpose to Life. From this perspective everything you are and all that you do is purpose, is meaning, the Good the bad and the ugly.

So, Follow your Bliss and Become, that is what is being asked of you! Laugh when you feel like laughing, cry when you feel like crying, be angry when your angry, happy when your happy.  Love encompasses it all.  Learn… be better as you learn better… become… you are G_d’s plan.

In the Lords prayer there is the statement ‘They will be done’. Most people read that statement as a surrender to God’s will.  But what if it’s a statement of fact. Not a surrender but a acknowledgment of participation that G_d’s will, will be done and your in it. Life As It Is! Life lives off Life, Life requires the sacrifice of Life, that is life’s wonder and it’s horror, That is LIFE’S Awesomeness (real definition of the word). The uneasiness you experience may be rooted in that reality. The unease of sacrifice. Are you living your truth or others? Both have purpose and meaning…  one though is Being.

“Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss,  and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.  If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn’t have opened for anyone else.” ― Joseph Campbell
