Vulnerability – The path to Authenticity, To Happiness
March 4, 2016
Each of us has a divine purpose – Our adventure lies on the path leading to its discovery and the privilege lies in living it.
Most of my early years of life had been plagued with the question – What is my purpose for being here? I am uncertain if this question makes everyone as miserable as it has done me, but I was born with this feeling that I had a purpose. The trouble was that I had no way of finding or figuring out what it was. All I knew was that I had a purpose and that, I was not yet living it. I was born for something else, something where I could add value to the world by just being me, in my essence. And finally I feel like I am there!
So why did it take so long?
The truth about finding your purpose is that you don’t find it unless you are ready to live it and be it. What do I mean by this? When I talk about purpose, it means something that is divinely inspired and only has goodness attached to it. This purpose has nothing to do with our ego desires and wants. Our true purpose always involves giving. I would go a step further to say that it is not even about giving but about serving. Serving the world that you are born in, serving the people, doing everything in your power to help anyone and everyone that comes your way. The way in which you serve may vastly differ – one could be serving by finding new cures of diseases in his capacity as a scientist, one could be helping people by being an energy healer, or one could be a teacher, empowering people by educating them. Many people could also be doing these same things without it being their purpose. The difference is that the ones who are living their purpose will be much more inspired, motivated and passionate about what they do and therefore have greater impact. 
For us to be to have the ability to unconditionally give and serve, we need to go through a purification process. At least I find this true for finding and living my purpose. We could be born purified (In which case one has gone through the purification already), but a lot of us are not. This purification or awakening process is designed to ensure that anything that is part of us, which does not serve our higher purpose will have to be dropped, will have to be let go, will have to be detached from. This is the tough part…. This cleansing process when your body, mind and spirit in your current individual self, are learning to be of unconditional service. It is painful, it is heart wrenching and it is challenging. For so long we have identified with our Ego mind, that the detachment to that personality with its ego wants and desires, is the difficult. The interim period, where you are torn, you try to live a life which now becomes a mixture of the old you and the new you. During this process, if you are doing work that is not in alignment with who you are becoming, you will face road blocks after road blocks, and no matter how hard you try, real success will not come your way. If you survive this transformation period, you are certain to be uplifted – mind, body and soul.
On my journey, I found that before embarking on my purpose (which is to assist people to become their best selves using my intuition and knowledge), I needed to have a comprehensive and experiential understanding of key universal concepts some of which are listed below:
1. Unconditional love and Detachment – Yes these are intricately related concepts. Unconditional love is just that, Unconditional – loving someone/ everyone with no expectations of return. This requires detachment from your personal desires and is probably the hardest of all learning. This greater understanding of love, increases your love to expand to all the people, rather than the ones who you have some sort of relationship with.
2. Self-love and its counter energy Narcissism. To love someone else unconditionally without judgement, first requires us to do the same to ourselves. If you cannot love yourself you cannot love another. Narcissism, on the other hand, is the opposite of self love and is a complete lack of love for oneself and others. Lack of Self-love draws narcissists to the person suffering from the lack so that is a lesson to be learned.
3. Free Will and its counter energy Control which are very very important aspects to understand. As a coach, energy healer and an empath, I can receive information about people which is very personal. If one does not understand or accept the concept of Free-Will and Responsible power, one can have a selfish tendency to misuse it. Having dealt with an energy healer/ narcissist who was parading around as a Guru while manipulating energy, inducing fear and dependency in her following, gave me one of my hardest initiations. Using energy to manipulate people (Mind Control is just that) is one of the worst possible impositions on Free Will. This great learning taught me what not to do with energy as I became more adept with handling it.
4. Forgiveness, and the counter energies of anger and hatred. All too often, we feel a sense of entitlement to hold on to our anger and hatred for others when they have done something obviously despicable. The reality is that unless you forgive everyone and I mean everyone who has ever harmed you, you have not really forgiven yourself. Unconditional love for self, calls for unconditional forgiveness for yourself and others too.
5. Last but not the least, we need discernment to differentiate illusion from truth. For this we need a connection with our higher self and learn to have faith and trust in ourselves. I always had a strong intuitive sense about many things, however, because of lack of self love, I was afraid to put my full faith and trust in my intuition, giving my power away, more than often. Of the many tests and trials, this one was one I had to go through many a times, and every time the lesson got harder. 😉
If you are here for a higher purpose, you will have to go through important life lessons and initiations which are designed to help you understand each of these core principles. And as your purpose unfolds, you can see clearly how every experience, no matter how difficult it was – was meant to teach you something and has led you to become the person that you are today.
I have been helped, through this process by many a great Saints and their teachings some of which are – Parmhansa Yogananda ji, Shirdi Sai Baba, The Ascended Masters Teachings via Kim Michaels (Especially Mother Mary who has been instrumental in teaching me how to love myself) , A Course in Miracles which is the undoing of the Ego, Abraham (Jerry and Esther Hicks) who have taught me so much about vibration, Baba Neem Karoli, Gayatri Mantra, The Bhagvad Gita and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. There are many more that I have learnt something from and probably some that I am unaware of, but I am very grateful to all these teachers/ channels. I could not have the understanding I have today without studying some of these teachings.

My self transformation is not over for sure, as this is a continuous process but I believe that I have arrived at that place, been through enough of a purification, where I am ready to start living my higher purpose.
