In the last few weeks, I’ve thought more about life-purpose.
It seems some people around me are running around seeking what to do --
How to best serve humanity, what projects to form, what events to produce.
But now I wonder, for some reason, is that kind of work really necessary?
Tonight, reading an essay I wrote in 2004, “Human Crisis and Divine Plan”,
I found the following paragraph:
“And so, it is essential we grow settled in our own life-purpose, and the fulfillment of our intentions in taking birth in this world. For myself, I realize that verbal and written teaching is but one element of "what I'm here to do", and that the quality of my presence (vibratory energy, radiatory being) is far more important than the thought-forms I produce [such as in teaching]. For you too, it is crucial to come into alignment with just why it is that you awaken here in human body every morning.”

So I wonder, what’s really necessary to serve earth at this point in time?
Of course, each of us should do what our heart knows is best,
And big spiritual events do awaken thousands of people around the world,
Providing real heart-community that helps us all. Of course, this is good work.
But what I mean is different…
Perhaps what I really mean is this:
Nothing more than peaceful being, open heart and clear mind,
Sitting alone or in a crowd, active or silent - just this is sufficient world service.
Awakened mind in honor of infinite creation, trusting divine law, knowing a bigger view -
Just this is sufficient world service.
This is really all I need to say.
When we’re ready to accept our innate perfection just a little bit more,
Then we’ll see physical action is unnecessary to world service.
And although big events and works help many,
Free radiation of what you are, deeply knowing/trusting your All-ness, is enough.
