Purpose, Mr. Anderson, Purpose

Purpose, that ever-evolving idea we hold about Who We Are, preoccupies our minds in every moment. I have recently undertaken a very interesting and enjoyable step-by-principal-by-step approach to declaring some of the intentions I have for this life as I see it at the moment with the guidance of a nifty little book entitled Bringers of the Light by Neale Donald Walsch. I just wanted to share these with the .25 readers of this blog. Just to make clear, this is, as I said earlier, an ever-evolving process as we define our purpose anew in every moment. Thus, I realize that these are not "goals," which tend to be limiting and ambition-driven. Rather, as you will see through the process, this expression of intention is just that, and I work in each moment to empty myself of any preconceived notions I have about the physical form of these purposes (and, by the way, I wrote the following expression of purpose in my journal on 10/22/2006, so I am just now, for the first time here exclusively, revealing my purpose to the public, which waits with bated breath).

CHOOSING THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE:

1. I intend to write - both fiction and non-fiction - in order to:
a. Fulfill the love I have for this art form and express my passion for language.
b. Present to the world, through what I write - a new way of seeing Life and the Love, Freedom, and Perfection inherent in It.
c. Channel my creative instincts into a form that will, I hope, reach and touch many people in a way that will stimulate them to aspire first and foremost to realize the glory of Who We All Are, which then inspires them to create a change for the better of the world that perhaps they always knew they would make but that they were hesitant to put in motion because of the enormity of its implications (i.e. fear of rejection and being misunderstood).

So writing, it seems, is something I choose to do so that I can be a Messenger of God's Love, so that I can be creative, so that I can be a positive force of change to the world, so that I can be an inspiration to those in need.

1. My purpose is to be a Messenger of the Love of God that now permeates my being. In fact, my purpose is to be this Love so that, through me, Love's message will have the opportunity to find it's home in each person I come into contact with.

2. My purpose is to be creative at all times, entering every moment looking only to myself (through God) to develop the reality I choose.

3. My purpose is to be an energy of positive change in each moment of this life, transforming any "negative" event, situation, relationship, or person who desires a new life into the Magnificence it/him/her is through the message and creativity with which God has blessed me, and, indeed, the entire world.

4. My purpose is to be an inspiration to those who desire a new life in a new world that they help create, a change that they may have been unable to initiate each time their minds show them pictures of how big a mess is the world today while also lying to them about the feebleness of their personal efforts to clean up that mess. I, too, have lied to myself in this way, and now I choose to be unbound from the chain of lies.

These are the purposes of my life translated from statements of "doing" into statements of "being." These intentions are what I am, and I will be these in whatever form of "doingness" I find myself from moment to moment.
