Soul Mission or Not
I’m reading one of my favorite authors new book; “Soul Mission-Life Vision” by Alan Seale and wanted to share the opening paragraph with you all this morning as it is what I am working on right now.
“What we care about-our hopes, dreams, values, and aspirations-are often buried deep in the unconscious. Most of us were raised in a society that supports making deals with ourselves and others in order to survive. We trade what we care about in order to get what we think we need. Or we trade what we care about for what we are told we are supposed to want. We are socialized to place a title, recognition, or a position above that which might give us pleasure, satisfaction, or fulfillment. Yet, deep inside so many people are asking, ‘Is this it? Is this what I’ve been working so hard for? Is this what I really want?’” -Seale
I have spent the bulk of my life since 1967 pursuing knowledge and expertise on healing my own wounds and the wounds of others. Healing on all levels is my battle cry in this life.
So, is this it? What about my vague dreams that are now haunting me in my sleep-begging me to find the seeds or pearls in them and bring them out for my own satisfaction. Where are the sunny days whiling away on the banks of some great cultured city in dialogue with deep and penetrating minds? Where are my works of art , my great novel, my deep sense of fulfillment?
I am waking up to the fact that I gave my time away. This great white tiger inside is about to devour me if I don’t pick up my own banner and begin fulfilling that now.
I don’t know where this is taking me, it has been a long time coming and words cannot define any of this.
