Purpose Redefined

Everything just is, the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Choice is not about rejecting one option in favor of another, not about right versus wrong but about overseeing all, peripherally aware of everything going on and choosing a conscious point of focus. No-thing is ever excluded nor rejected yet all negative images/feelings/etc potentially or actually become transformed or dissolved in the light of conscious presence.

Preliminary Purpose: Ground Zero, State of Allowing, Central Point of Focus, In Yoga the Sanskrit terms (of Patanajali), Vairagya and Abhyasa, mean to let go and to engage respectively. To let go of opinion, of like and dislike, preference for this over that, good versus evil. Self-integration that comes with the allowing of all things to be, neither justifying nor condemning. From here there is an immediate point of focus, here and now, the next action step...

Primary Purpose: Once established in the flow of being and presence, it is then necessary to steer the direction and set a proper course of action, a mission that becomes a Primary Life Purpose... which is to affirm, direct and CREATE my own life, or what is popularly referred to as "Living on Purpose" or "The Art of Deliberate Creation".

  1. J: If you steer the boat too much you go against the stream and lose the momentum... if you steer too little you get carried away to wherever the stream takes you, lost entirely in the momentum which can be toxic or fatal. Going with the flow AND choosing a point of focus and direction are both vital.

    T: Or just throw the compass in the stream and see where it all takes u..:)

    J: a compass may not be necessary, but a sense of being at center and at least ever so slightly in control of one's own destiny is essential... the individual is that vessel of affirmative action and co-creation, although surrender to the stream's momentum is always a prerequisite to everything we consciously co-create.
