If you’ve ever lost touch with your sense of purpose — whether through trauma, life’s demands, or simply the passage of time — you’re not alone. A reader recently reached out after years of feeling disconnected from something they once knew deeply. This is my response.
Asking Your Guides
The first thing I would do is ask my guides what I am here on earth to do. We all have guides, and the first thing that comes into your mind is probably correct. You can ask questions to your guides and get answers all the time. I do quite often, and the answer is not only verbal — some acknowledgment occurs in my daily events as well.
Exploring Past Lives Through Michael Newton
The second thing I would do is go to the Internet and listen to some recordings of Michael Newton on his Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls. He trained many therapists to do past life regressions and life-between-life journeys. I have taken a few and found them very informative. You will find out who you are, who you were in past lives, and what you are doing in this life. It takes about 8 hours per journey, as you have to relax and get hypnotized — but you still have full control over your functions under hypnosis. It is not a TV gimmick. It is real, if you have a good therapist.
Writing Your Life’s Story
The final thing I would do is write down what my life has been to date and see if there is a trend. Then study your inner child and see what they had in mind for you. It is a few-hour process, but you will learn a lot about yourself. I am not a believer in asking a religious God questions or relying on Jesus, Mohamed, or Moses — because who they are, as we know them, is largely constructed. You can try it and see what your answer is, but I never get the right answer that way — just some subconscious belief instilled in me.
Praying and Listening for Angels
You can also pray to God. If you are lucky, an angel will answer you and may give you guidance — though you don’t always know what the response to your question will be. I have all types of angels that answer my questions, and sometimes they are correct and sometimes not. These angels are often family members or someone who is simply listening.
The Honest Truth About Purpose
Trying to figure out what you were called to do is a tough question. Quick answers can come through some type of service — once you find out who you are by meditating and going within. I am 77 and am still not entirely sure what my purpose in life is, even though I have had several successful careers. I think it is because life just throws a lot of punches at you, and you can spend a great deal of time trying to figure things out on the material plane.
One Love and the Soul’s Guidance
One Love is an energy-based philosophy, and it involves your soul and spirit. You have easy access to both of them, and they often provide guidance on your karma and what you need to maximize your energy through food and rest. Remember — we really don’t have much of a purpose except to help other people, because that is how our soul has been designed. Our body’s cells work together to produce health and, hopefully, happiness.
The Gift of Simply Being Alive
Finally, self-love is really important. If you can’t yet find out why you are here on earth — other than what your parents wanted — just look after yourself and enjoy being alive. I have found that the answers often come in being present, and this just happens. There are no set rules, just some guidelines to maximize your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. But they often occur by chance. You have to keep your eyes open to the process. We call it being present. We wish you the best of luck on your journey.
I know I often just end up doing things that I enjoy — like playing music on the guitar or taking a walk — and try to realize what I am doing. Often nothing at all, except enjoying myself.
