Q: what are you up to right now?
A: my purpose(s)
what ever i may do = me fulfilling my purpose(s), as far as i'm concerned, & it feels fulfilling & effortless. i'm not the doer here; in my mind, i'm the observer. not my will but thine
i see nothing but purpose(s) being fulfilled & i see nothing but purpose & fulfillment...& completion, & wholeness, & oneness, & changelessness, & agelessness, & etc...
imo, everything is purpose & not only do we have purpose ~ we are purpose
Beautiful, isis.
That is the mystics' view. That broad perspective sees purpose being constantly, unavoidably fulfilled, whether in creation or destruction, clarity or confusion, mission completion or mission abortion, or whether the individual entity feels they have a purpose or feels purpose-absent. Purpose at this level cannot not be fulfilled.
I think there is a relaxation that comes in this viewpoint - a loosening of the grip of attachment and expectation, and the releasing of the need for the moment to be anything other than it already is.
And out of this mindset may be born an individual's higher purpose that is surrendered to the Creator and allows the One to work through the individual.
And when self merges into self through the contact with intelligent infinity, and the the confusions and opacity of the personality comes to an end, a *particular* mission/purpose arises which is unique to that individual:
