Chapter 11 We are Here for a Reason

Chapter     11       We are Here For a Reason

Many in life seem to be lost, blown by the winds and tossed in what ever direction the current trend is taking them. There are a lot of sick people in the world and it is like the blind leading the blind, they really don’t know where they are going.  Those that are sick influence other’s  and social illness can be very contagious.  As I have studied and pondered life and read about many different philosophies and religious paths, I have gained a perspective on it all and have come to an important conclusion about our journey through life.  That conclusion is that we are here for a reason and that reason is the strengthening and tempering of our soul.  There are so many that are confused and grasp and follow paths that really don’t work for them but they stay on them anyway and those paths lead to nowhere.  It’s important that we all seek to find meaning and our life purpose in this earth experience.   In reading some of the spiritual books I have studied, I have read a repeated message through many of them and that is that we each have a life purpose and important journey while on this planet earth.  If we don’t seek to find out that path we can be lost our entire lives.  

The books  I have read have explained that before we come to the earth plane, we have spiritual guides in heaven or the afterlife that help us set goals for our life path and mission. Sometimes  we sign up for too much because on the other plane everything is perfect and we live in an idealistic state.  Our guides give us direction and advise us not to sign up for more than we can really handle here on earth. They help us to understand the most important lessons are souls need.   Some religious practices believe in reincarnation and that through each incarnation we learn new and different lessons on our soul’s journey.  There is a belief that we are eternally progressing in our existence in the universe  and our souls are forever making progress towards perfection of the soul which is where the presence of God dwells.   Each soul’s journey is different and the guides understand this and give different souls different challenges according to where that soul is in their soul progression. 

People can get off their life path by choosing things they shouldn’t while on this earth plane.  One way to get off a life path is to chose to alter the self through alcohol and drug abuse.  If that occurs, a soul can completely waste their experience on earth.  Through using these substances inappropriately they keep the soul  from facing life and the challenges the soul needs to face.  There are far too many that have lost their way through alcohol and drug abuse.  If they do not change their ways, their life can be completely wasted and they will have to repeat their life experience again to learn those important lessons. It is important that each person search their own soul to find the things they need to learn in this life experience. They can seek guidance through prayer and meditation but must take certain steps in order to progress and fulfill their life path and mission.  

If you are not certain of your life path, it is important to take some time to commune with God and your spiritual guides who can prompt and encourage you along your correct path. We each have spiritual guides that we can learn about and tune into to help us on our journey.  Through meditation these guides can come and introduce themselves and let us know what they are here  to guide and teach us about.  Our guardian angels are one of our guides and are always with us, guiding, watching over, comforting, helping, and protecting us as we journey though life.  It is comforting to know we are not alone.

 There are other guides that may come at different times in our lives to teach us certain lessons.  I have come to know my guides and tune into and ask them questions often.  I will mediate and call on  the name of a certain guide and then ask in my mind a question I have.  The answer will come into my mind soon if not immediately after I ask. Your guides have names and you can ask them their name.  Sometimes the name might be a familiar one and sometimes it might be a very different one.  For instance I have become familiar with several of my guides.  My higher self guide is Mother  God or Ahana Wahonon,  The archangel Gabriel is a guide I often call on for healing purposes and is the guide that comes to me and heals through the ethereal  plane. I work with healing  the  aura.  I call on him through  the ethers with the sound Aaaaaaaaaa or Ahhhhhhhhhhh.  Each archangel answers through a different vowel sound through either the long vowel sound or the short vowel sound.  You can try this and see which angel might come to you.  Angels are a little different than guides  Angels help us if we need help, comfort, miracles, or healing in some area. Our guides give us direction and guidance as we journey through life.  If you want to truly be on your life path and working to become a stronger soul, it is important to tune into your guides often.  They can direct you in the right paths with occupations, relationships, health concerns, and other questions and challenges you may be facing in your life.  Sometimes how you handle a certain challenge can be one of the most important steps on your journey.  If you handle it correctly you won’t have to repeat that challenge.  

Once you know your life path and what your are to be doing in your earthly experience, it is important to stay on your life path and continually grow , learn, and become stronger.  It’s  important to pray and ask God and  your guides for direction throughout  your lives. Another way to understand a life path is to read books on this subject in religious texts, self -help, or metaphysical reading.  There are some great  books that can help us understand why we are here and the right courses to take in life.

 With all the different philosophies, religions and spiritual practices out there though, it is sometimes confusing as to what really makes sense and the correct path or view.  Thank goodness we live in a country that allows freedom of religion and freedom of thought.  I have studied many different spiritual practices and religions in my journey and this is the conclusion to that study.  I believe that what is good comes from God.  Meaning those things that have a good result and help our fellow man are the test if a spiritual practice is good. I also believe that a good test for whether people are good or not is by their works.  " By their works ye shall know them"  A good tree(person) brings forth good fruit or outcomes.  Conversely a bad tree (person) brings forth bad fruit or outcomes.  That seems to be the simple test. If it inspires, makes your heart sing, and brings joy and love to you and helps other’s through love and service, follow that path!    It’s an important thing to consider why we are here and that we need to refine our character and become stronger and use our lives in being engaged in loving and helping out fellow travelers  in this earth existence.  If you are not sure of your life purpose and the meaning of life there are ways to find out your own true life path and why you are here on this earth plane.
