Chapter fourteen – Purpose

Would you go to sea without a map, navigation charts and instruments (now days GPS)? Of course not. When sailing on the seas, or moving about life, it is best to have a clear idea of where you are going (and how to get there). For if we don’t… (what do you think will happen?)

To avoid being washed onto one of life’s rocky shores, to be stranded and isolated with little hope of survival, it is necessary to hold purpose. No one ever said you had to have just on purpose either, we are (at our essence) infinite creative potential, so we can hold multiple purposes (as many as we can imagine indeed). Be careful though, because if we do not make conscious (thought out in our heads) purposes then our purpose will be decided by our basic emotional drives. Even our basic emotional drives can use the tools of mind to define a conscious purpose in our mind, such as an addict reasoning the purpose of another hit. The only way to really get control of this situation, and make sure that the purpose which your information processing system is driving (the contents of mind and) your physical body towards is really what you want in your life, is to walk the path through source and strength to the state of universal governance.

If you want to achieve anything in life, to be top at some chosen field (academic, sports, arts, etc) or to just be able to have the life you imagine in your mind, you need to have the ability. Remember the Hermetic knowledge that the higher worlds control the lower. If you want anything in the physical world you need to use the mental world to control the physical – obvious, we use the tools of mind (logic, reason, abstract thought) to shape the physical world. Addicts can reason though; when our basic emotional desires drive the contents of mind, and we identify our essence as the thoughts created within mind (rather than the aspect observing, detached from, the contents of mind), we can still function (are able to be doctors, teachers, mechanics, factory workers, cleaners, etc).

We may be able to function within the physical world, and while it is a great struggle we try to find distraction and escape, but all the while our mental world is severally suffering, deep within we are in great pain. It is a severing, a division, a disconnection, from our essence. Older people feel it more than younger, the longer we spend separated from our essence (polarised to the physical, mis-identifying our essence as the temporary thoughts within our head) the greater that subtle emotional pain grows. It is easy to find your essence again though, it is always there – just turn focus from the constant chattering noise and embrace the silence within mind. As our connection between body and spirit, developed through mind, through information and opportunity, is the most important thing we can do for our information processing system, for our lives, this is the first most important purpose. As mind controls the physical world, the spiritual controls (when we develop the ability, the connection)our mental world.      

While this first purpose is quite a task, it requires many side purposes (as knowledge builds in steps, we learn one step and move onto the next – the bigger the idea, the more steps we need to learn), think of it as an adventure (because, the reality is, you are part of a war, carried out by all those humans who would seek to dominate your mental world, which really isn’t many humans, and they all hide behind corporations anyway, so they are in reality easy for us to overcome with our human/living organisation. The single most important thing any of us can do for the war effort is to walk the path to enter a state of universal governance – this is our primary fortification in the war on consciousness, and our weapon is love).

At the end of the day life is about experience, and that includes enjoyment (mental satisfaction); of which our creation, our expression, is a huge part. The only barrier to our potential, our deserved, life is a general lack of information and opportunity within this psychologically abusive social structure built upon the beliefs of economics, law, and governance, and designed to benefit a few psychopaths who know and play the game. We could, our species could, do with embracing the tithe concept in these times. Give a tenth of your being, of your time and energy, to the collective; and give a tenth to yourself. Give a tenth to your connection, for your power and clarity to participate as a conscious individual of our collective species (the private); and give a tenth to family, to your species through learning and participating in our collective environment (the public).
