In April, I pondered the ideas of Life Purpose, Soul Purpose, and Destiny with Susan Sampson. She added depth to the discussion by bringing through messages from a Spirit Guide. Here are a few highlights of our discussion:

Before we enter physical life, we confer with a Council and scope out the life to come. We agree to have certain experiences and to work on particular lessons. Then, we are born with a life purpose and we attempt to achieve our destiny.

Destiny is the physical manifestation of life purpose, like having children or writing a book. We are born to achieve a destiny. It happens in the physical world.  

Soul purpose is a larger concept than life purpose. A soul purpose can meander through several lives. It can weave through this side and the other side. We are exploring, then coming back. Trying again. Destiny stays here. Destiny is a rock hard destination in a particular life.

Everyone comes in with a plan, then life happens and the plan changes. Most people achieve a portion of their destiny. The rest of life will be devoted to surviving life, understanding life, re-learning what we need to know, and getting the answers which move us along our path of destiny. These are the answers we wished to understand when we stood before the Council to plan our life.

The Spirit Guide added, “When it comes to destiny and life purpose, there is a progressive understanding and growth that moves you into higher and higher resonances and vibrations because you are returning to Source as you become explorers in three dimensional reality and other dimensions of reality. As you traverse those dimensions of reality, you are learning, and you are contributing to the whole understanding of the experience.”

I tend to think of destiny as a destination -- that place where you feel like you’ve arrived. The moment when you feel you have achieved what you came to achieve.

Spirit reminded me, “Perhaps what you have come to achieve is smiling at a neighbor, or something so small and finely refined as to be a pure example of love. You do not recognize those fine, pure, slivers, and you think they do not make a difference. In fact, they are a major stepping stone, a major achievement, as you pursue the destiny of each life.”

I asked about my destiny in this lifetime, and was given this glimpse regarding the work I do:

“You will get hints from your research and hints from your experiences until you can do as you wish. In that doing as you wish, you will find connections with like-minded people who exist in spirit and will find communicating with you easier than communicating through other entities. Your desire is fostered by relationships with those in spirit who need your voice.”

I am certainly looking forward to that!

I want to thank Susan Sampson for this delightful discussion and for providing the messages from Spirit which deepened my understanding of Life Purpose, Soul Purpose, and Destiny. You can contact Susan for readings at Mothergoodness@yahoo.com.

Let me know what you think.

The Destiny of a Century plant in Tucson, AZ

I just returned from a trip to New England. While I was in Lake Pleasant, Massachusetts, I visited the National Spiritual Alliance. It was difficult to find this old building by a lake. We drove by it a couple of times before seeing the sign.

From the outside, it's an old building which could use a wee bit of maintenance. From the inside, it's a beautiful space. Downstairs is a large gathering area. Upstairs, is a gorgeous sanctuary. On the stairs, is a statue (Kwan Yin, I think) with selenite blocks. I don't know what kind of wood the ceiling is made of, but it is spectacular.

Here are a few photos:

I have a cold and a cough. I'm not thinking clearly, so I'm going to take a short blogging break. If Spirit comes to me with an interesting message, I'll let you know.

Feel free to scroll down the page and catch up on any posts you may have missed.

I asked Ruth Red Eagle, a Reiki master and healer, “When did you know you were psychic?”

Ruth answered, “When did I NOT know?” Ruth was born into a family with traditional values. Her mother was Catholic and her father was Mormon. Both were very structured. Ruth added, “When they had this beautiful bouncing baby girl who showed up shining, feeling everything, seeing everything, and knowing everything, it freaked them out. It scared the crap out of them.”

When she was four or five years old, her father took her to a psychic and had blocks put in her third eye and the base of her skull. The psychic assured her father that Ruth would be “normal” now. This experience told Ruth that her gifts were not acceptable. She had to close them down.  

Ruth explained, “Throughout my life, it’s been a tug of war. My mind and spirit say, ‘I want to be psychic. I want to work on this.’ The other part of me, with the childhood stuff, says, ‘That’s dangerous. You can’t do that. That’s a bad thing.’ My whole life has been that back and forth. You move two inches forward and an inch backward, then two more inches forward. It’s been hard.

“For the last couple of years, Spirit has been telling me it’s okay. ‘You need to call this back in and be who you truly are. It’s okay for people to see you and know who you really are: a Medicine Woman, a healer, a helper. A steward of the earth and of humanity.’”

Hoping for a happy ending, I asked, “When you are born into a family with two straight-laced parents, what is the story?” I thought she would say that she had enlightened her parents. Instead she answered:

“Abuse. Abuse, abuse, abuse. Abuse. It was hard for them to understand. They could not control what was happening with me. I had physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and spiritual abuse. Everything you can imagine. I had a father, an older brother, and my mother. My brother was like, ‘Oh, this is the way you treat girls. This is the way you treat women.’ I became evil incarnate in his mind.”

Ruth added, “My parents divorced when I was around seven. After that, I lived with my mother. She was very controlling. It was not okay for me to be free and to be who I was. She put a lot of barriers around me.”

“As a human being growing up on this planet, you think this is normal. You start drawing that ugliness into your life because that is your normal. It’s taken time for me to come back to that innocent spirit I’ve always had inside. It’s always been there. Thank you, Lord, it’s never left me. I’ve always felt that connection, even through the darkness.

“I remember a time when I was so sad and so hurt that I thought, ‘Please G-d, take me home. Let me go home. Can I go home?’ Spirit answered, ‘No. You are going to be here for a long time. The world needs you.’

“All of those experiences created a tremendous amount of compassion, understanding, patience, acceptance, and forgiveness. I learned about forgiveness because there had been so many intense experiences.”

I asked, “How could you forgive them?”

Ruth answered, “I know that they didn’t know the truth of who I was. Or even who they were.”

“The cool thing that has happened because of that is that ancestors who have passed on have come to me and thanked me for being who I am and doing this work. I have healed ancestral lines through my work. That’s huge.

“Now, I am so happy because I am doing what I know I am supposed to be doing. Things are  changing. I can go into other realms and dimensions very easily. I’ve always been able to do that. I feel like I’ve been teaching kindergarten most of my life. Now, I’m going to be teaching college. I’m stepping up from a different vibration. We are going to be taking quantum leaps. The people who are coming to see me and others of us, are going to be bumped up. Their energy is going to be stronger, more fluid. They are going to release things which don’t serve them. They are going to understand why things have happened in their lives.

“I bring a big perspective. As humans, we see ourselves on this tiny globe and we think this is all there is. We divide the Earth into continents, then get smaller and smaller. Spirit is telling me, ‘No. You’ve got to expand. It’s time to start being okay with being light.’”

“I am a free spirit, wild flower, hippie girl who runs through the fields. I have to be. I’ve always been that. Even when my parents told me I couldn’t be like that, I was still that person on the inside. It oozes from the pores of my body. I have so much light within because of who I was created to be. I think more people will be drawn to me because they recognize my spirit.”

Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your story of overcoming adversity.

On Readings -

“There is an assumption that when you are giving a reading, all the information comes down in one big block. However, when I say something like, “I see you going east,” that’s all I have in my head. There isn’t anything more to the reading until I say it. If I don’t say it, spirit won’t give me anything else.”

On Channeling -

“Once you are down [in your meditation], demand that a person come and that you see them. Say you want all the information to come through a G-d consciousness. When they step up to speak, you start speaking. As you get deeper into the topic, you will find that they start coming out with information. It’s very subtle.”

“The words which come out of your mouth will slowly morph into a kind of dialogue that you don’t usually use. Don’t judge anything. Turn off your judgement.”

“The more you do it, the better you get.”
