I was exploring the concepts of inherited purpose and divine purpose when I wrote the following. By itself, this post doesn’t really “teach” anything except for sharing some of the thoughts and feelings that I explore in my inner worlds at times.
Since I especially enjoyed writing the part about Divine Purpose, I thought that some of you might enjoy reading it as well. There really isn’t any point to this article except that I wanted to share it.
My Inherited Purpose
When I was writing about the kind of purpose that we inherit from society, these were the things that I could resonate with. I’m sure you’ll find them quite common and reasonable. At the same time, I find them stifling and not a real representation of who I am.
These inherited life purposes are relevant, but they feel more like something that would be a by-product of fulfilling the divine reason or authentic life purpose for which we were born. These life purposes are a mix of common goals as well as a result from the culture that I grew up in.
My (Earthbound) Inherited Life Purpose
The following are some of the things I came up with when I thought about possible life purposes that I could have. No doubt you’ll find them… common?
- To make money
- To be a provider for my family / mate
- To be successful in a corporate job / vocation
- To be good in sales (from family – insurance sales)
- To be a good father
- To be a good husband
- To be a successful business man
- To be financial free / independent
- To be sociable
- To be famous / popular
- To be a good student
- To be obedient to authority
- To be intelligent
- To be well-informed
- To be a hard worker first, and smart worker second
- To be a saver
- To live frugally and within my means
- To be out-going, fun and happy
- To live up to the expectations of others
- To be a productive member of society
- To put others before self
- To be humble
- To be a light worker (i.e. to be a good person)
- To be a extroverted style leader
- To live in the present physical reality (i.e. get out of my own head)
- To be a gentleman
- To be an alpha male type man
- To have a confident and positive self-image
- To sacrifice self for the good of others
- Other “normal” life goals…
Yeah… you’re right. They do seem a little trite and boring, don’t they? I don’t know why anyone would bother trying to fulfill these things as their life purpose. They seem so … finite… and… temporary? Nothing that actually sustains the soul beyond death and into the next realms.
But for the sake of fitting into society, let’s just repeat our inherited life purposes to ourselves until we completely overwhelm our authentic selves, shall we? I repeat mine… you say yours out loud. 
Jokes aside, everyone travels through life in their own space and personal bubble. I definitely do want to fulfill most of the inherited life purposes that I wrote above, but I also do want to identify and establish what my divine purpose is.
I do believe that there is more to life than just the temporary. As a physical human being, there are basic needs to be met and fulfilled. But beyond that, I sense an inner urging and calling to do something that allows the freedom of self expression in wonderful, amazing and inspiring ways.
As conscious minds (souls) living in a physical body, don’t you feel that life is more than just the satisfaction of base material needs?
My Divine Purpose
When I started writing this portion, I allowed myself to sink into the depths of my inner being. When I touched energy and purpose, the following just flowed out. I’m still in the process of figuring out how it relates to divine purpose on Earth since I can’t do any of them in human form, but since it seems to “out of this world”, it might really just be divine.
I’ve gotten clarity in my life purpose, but I am still in the process of further defining it for myself. There already is a direction set and certain general things that I would like to be. But for the sake of sharing part of the inner world that I traveled, here’s my supposedly divine life purpose.
………..
My Divine Purpose
What I really want to do is to explode into a cascade of multi-colored fireworks across the night sky. To burn brightly for a few moments in time before fading away to blackness…
To revel in the beauty of natural born chaos of creation as life explodes into a multitude of different life forms taking their own paths through the universe.
To release dark matter energy and be free of the power that burns deep within. To travel through the stars and solar systems that propagate throughout the universe and beyond. To become one with the Divine Consciousness and yet hold the perspective of self.
To be amazed at the glory of the heavens and the wonders of oceanic depths.
To be alive and feel the energy thrumming throughout nature and divine cosmos. To laugh and play in the stars, touching the gift of creation and sparking off new life forms for the sheer joy of it.
To race through the liquid depths of sub-atomic reality and push the limits of power and speed.
To create havoc as I speed through old galaxies and watch as they reform themselves into new shapes and systems.
To travel through desolate planetary systems and re-start life on dead worlds. To enjoy the sheer delight of watching new life as it crawls out of the depths and spawns into new evolution.
And when all is said and done, to rest in the bowers of creation and take delight in all that I have made.
But alas… I am trapped in this mortal form and reside on planet earth… Trapped within the masses of humanity yet longing to return to my playground among the stars.
………..
If you’re not the imaginative type, then that wasn’t really for you. But if you love traveling and exploring the universes that lie within, then I hope the pictures (you can click on them) I put up help to evoke the type of emotional energy I experienced when I was writing it out.
It definitely was a head-on rush through the universe and beyond. And even then at the end, it was more of a rest rather than a definitive conclusion.
The edge of creation is always making new things… I suppose that’s why it’s called creation.
edit: When I read through my divine purpose again, I suppose it’s something a larger, omnipotent being might be like. Maybe we’re all really gods hidden within our human bodies…
