When you awaken to your true self, your unique role will naturally emerge from within. The infinite wisdom flows through your spirit and guides your path. However, your actual part may not be immediately known because waking up involves first coming to a place of contentment and gratitude in what is now.
While everyone shares the same purpose, all of us have unique functions. Our personalities are different, and our talents, abilities, and intelligence vary. So we fill our own individual roles and take on various tasks that match our gifting. The purpose is still the same for everyone, but what we do differs. Yet, our responsibilities complement one another and contribute to the emergence of the Christ-centric consciousness on earth.
In June 2006, while speaking in Tanzania at a Christian Festival (crusade), I had a dream one night that had a profound effect on me. In the dream, I found myself sitting on a chair near the head of a long, gray table. Diagonally across from me and slightly pushed back in disinterest, sat a well-known Hollywood actress.
The path forward for the world is not through converting others to our worldview. Instead, our purpose is to awaken to the sacred Presence within.
Jesus said that the words that I speak are spirit and they are life. The words of Jesus were not neatly packaged doctrinal statements or beliefs to wrap one’s head around, but they contained energy that bypassed the mind and touched the spirit of the people listening.
Living a purpose-driven life that creates a better world is more than finding the mysterious “right” thing to do or some grandiose mission to accomplish. It requires nothing more than remaining in a state of consciousness of your true self and manifesting that awareness by being completely present in every moment. It’s simple, but it’s not always easy.
