Wonder about who you are, your goals, your purpose.
Wonder about your bonds - with yourself and all that surrounds you.
I have been thinking about that a lot.
What is my purpose?
Of course, there is no definite answer to that unless The Divine Energy agrees to an interview.
And you know there's a long Q for that!
So I did my own 'research'. Well, more like soul-search. But let's not get technical.
After thinking long and hard (which in itself is a painful process for my evidently lazy mind), I realized my pursuit in life is Knowledge.
Not money. Not fame. Not people.Although, I am not going to deny those.
Knowledge - the continuous discovery of self and all that surrounds us.
My body is a vessel that houses the soul. The soul is enriched with knowledge. However, knowledge only becomes relevant when it is transferred. Much like energy. I think everything is about Energy. And Energy is the vehicle that allows us to feel, learn, act, think and believe. And Energy cannot be destroyed.
I know... It sounds so UN-scientific and totally wack to the likes of Tom Cruise and his scientologist pals.
And I'm sure this belief of mine can spark a massive debate. Which will be super fun to watch.
Well, you got to know how I started this idea. I have always been a some-what spiritual being. No.. I do not channel the Gods; secretly I feel they would lose all respect if they channeled through me.
I was more of the 'Positive Energy' sorta person. The Karma sorta person. I think you get the idea.
So what happened was that, when I was doing my usual training gig for students on Saturdays, I asked what they would like to be when they grow up. Of course, 12 year olds don't know what they going to do that evening itself, so naturally I got tons of smart mouth remarks and some really blur looks.
So I asked them ' what do you like to do?'. Of course, I got the usual 'I like to eat' and 'I like to make people cry' - which reiterates my idea of tweens; they are plain mean!
But what sparked in me was when I asked them, I realized that I was posing that question to myself. As I enter another chapter of my life, the question becomes more relevant.
Well one thing is for sure, I love to talk. And more than that I love to learn. (yes, say it! I'm a NERD!)
In the course of my life, I forgot what brought true happiness in my life. Learning and transferring that knowledge. Being a teacher would be perfect you say? But no, I'm not talking about Chemistry; I'm talking about Learning life lessons.
So I went back to the core of who I am and the what I've believed for so long but just never referred to it like an old textbook. Knowledge is what I yearn for. And Sharing it gives me joy; gives me a fulfillment I never found anywhere else.
So here I am finally realizing where my life is heading. What my purpose could be (of course we never know for sure right? What if I was created to be a super housewife?).
My pursuit is knowledge and my purpose is to transfer that knowledge.
So I started to learn about letting go. About transferring energy. About converting the negative to positive. I started to learn to unclutter the mess that has accumulated in my brain.
Knowledge, like love, is nothing if it is not transferred. Not only by mere words but by actions. My knowledge will allow me to understand how I can help someone else.
So I keep learning and filling my soul with knowledge and looking for ways to share that.
At the end of the days, the one thing that your soul will bring with it to the next world is not materials but the knowledge that has enriched it.
I am no philosopher; nor yogi. I haven't done my studies and I doubt we're able to gather evidence.
My belief is to guide me to be the better person that I am today.
Isn't that what all good beliefs help you do? - Empowerment.
Sounding alot like what John Lennon would say huh?
