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.
