Why
You Are So Very Necessary
Each
person is a part of “the
great
all that is,
everything
that exists, the cosmic consciousness, all that ever was or will be”
or
whatever other word you like use to describe God.
What
this means is that every individual has their own individual place
within the whole. If you think about that for a moment you will see
that this means no one person can take the place of another. If they
did there would be a hole in the whole!
Now
that just wouldn’t do would it?
You
Have a Life Purpose
Because
we are unique, we each have a place within the overall plan. This is
different for everyone because everyone is different. So it will not
do at all for you to compare yourself to somebody else.
Someone
who feels useless or inadequate or someone who competes with others
is unable to see themselves clearly. If they did then they would be
able to validate their own unique contribution to the world. As well
as the unique contributions of those other people they think must be
better than them.
This
is an important lesson we all need to learn.
How
Do I Know I am Fulfilling My Purpose?
All
well and good I hear you say, but how can I find out what this
purpose is?
Do
you know how it feels when a wrong note is sounded in the symphony?
It sticks out like a sore thumb and it messes up the whole
performance. Imagine yourself singing a song out of tune. It feels
horrid – this is what your life feels like if you are not playing
your note.
How
does it feel when the performance hits all the right notes? It is
sublime. It is amazing. It delights the entire audience. Imagine
yourself singing a beautiful aria. It feels magnificent – you are
on top of the world and full of Joy. This is what it feels like when
you are on purpose.
How
Do I Find My Purpose?
Because
of your unique perspective within the divine plan, you have access to
everything you need to sing your note, and to live your life on
purpose.
So
if you are feeling lost in the wilderness; if you have lost sight of
why you are here; if you think others are better able than you to
shine their light, then all you need to find a way to tune your
instrument.
For
me the answer has been meditation. Meditation has allowed me to
connect with my higher self and tune into my uniqueness. It has
allowed me to let go of competition and invalidation and see myself
for who I truly am.
It’s
Not always a Straightforward Journey
For
me this involved a complete metamorphosis from a PhD qualified
Biotech Business Executive to a Spiritual Teacher and Author.
Meditation
helped me find my way and that is why I wrote my book “The Midas
Tree’ so that I can share the tools, tips and techniques that
helped me with others in the most fun way I know – through a fairy
tale adventure story!
Introduction
to “The Midas Tree”
“The
Midas Tree” is a spiritual adventure novel aimed at a middle grade
to Young Adult audience; although all the adults who have read it
like it too. It is a spellbinding story overflows with challenges,
magical creatures and mystical superpowers, which you will discover
along the way.
The
hero of the book, Joshua is taken from his beautiful safe home into a
mystical world, where he must discover his life path and overcome his
ego so he can fulfill his destiny. It is my deepest wish that readers
of “The Midas Tree” will find themselves and their unique path
just as Joshua does.
