    I've been wanting to write this post for a while, but I guess that I have a reason now for doing it, because something happened to me 24 hours ago. I remembered my mission! I don't know why it happened right now, all of the sudden, in the midst of all kind of different and intensive catalysts, and busy life, and I'm not even sure that I have been seeking properly or intensively because of everything else that happens, but it did...

    Anyway, yesterday morning when I came home from work I lit a certain incense, and there came a specific scent from it, and there it was - memory of my mission.

    When it happened, I almost started to laugh, because it feels like this memory has always been there, right in front of me, with me, closer to me than my own heartbeat.

    I've had an intellectual understanding of what my mission is, or what I would like it to be in this incarnation, but I haven't had this deep recollection or memory of what it is actually.

    Perhaps it sounds dramatic, but what got me thinking about it in the first place, which was some time ago, was namely this quote:

    "The entity could also have, when the hour came, walked another path. Its incarnation would then have been prolonged but the path for which it incarnated somewhat confused."

    This quote is about Jesus. That Jesus *could have* chosen another way, that is to not to be crucified, but since it has chosen this particular life plan or mission for itself, *its path would have been somewhat confused* if it would have walked any other way...

    I was very much affected by these words, that its path would have been confused. What does it mean in regards to my own incarnation, I thought? Well, my conclusion is that if one is not walking the path which one has pre-incarnatively chosen for itself, then this path is confused, to say at least.

    So, I've been wondering and seeking this memory of my own mission, but not in a very intensive way because of different catalysts. One catalyst has been due to unworthiness issues. I felt that whatever mission I have chosen for myself, I am not worthy of this mission. And God forbid - what if I am so far away from this mission that I am failing both myself, my beloved ones, and the Creator, how could I then live with myself? Another catalyst was - what if this memory would not match what I have had in mind intellectually for myself for a while now? And there were many other catalysts, which lead to uncertainity to both of the seeking/asking and receiving this memory, if it would ever come. But nevertheless, I was thinking about it for quite some time now, and thinking about this Jesus quote, and at the same time observing how confused my path is, and understanding that I still don't remember the reason to my incarnation fully...

    And so I remembered it yesterday morning, or about 24 hours ago!

    What I can say about this is that suddenly, when now looking back, almost everything about my life makes sense to me now, from the early childhood and until this point! It has unfolded as it did because there was/is a plan. Aaaand... I am not that confused anymore. At least not for now. There is a certain clarity about things now.

    But I do have a lot of work to do though! So, there has been many, many moments during these 24 hours when confusion was present, BUT it feels like it is not that same kind of confusion as it used to be before this recollection. Because the confusion which enters my life experience now, is still clear in some way when I am bringing forth this memory of what I planned, and then I am able to look at the present moment which brought the confusion and understand that this present moment is nothing but the means to get to this goal.

    And I also want to mention that it doesn't matter anymore if I die tomorrow, or by some other reasons never reach this goal. Because I remember, and that is all which is important. There is a clear air around my path now, as to knowing where to go - and, all else is up to the intelligent infinity. The outcome of this plan never mattered in the first place.

    So, I have just been taking deep breathes, relaxing, and looking at the situations which have been bringing these confusions, knowing or understanding that there will be many, many more before this goal *may* be reached. And this is how it feels for now at least! I understand that there might be much more difficult situations in the future, and that maybe I will forget at times, but I sure hope not to! Not now that I remember!

    Most of us here, if not all, are of senior vibration, and maybe even Wanderers. What it means is that not only did we plan our lessons, we probably even planned something specific that we were going to offer to this world, while incarnated, like Ra said here:

    "You may, at this time, note that as with any entities, each Wanderer has its unique abilities, biases, and specialties so that from each portion of each density represented among the Wanderers comes an array of pre-incarnative talents which then may be expressed upon this plane which you now experience so that each Wanderer, in offering itself before incarnation, has some special service to offer in addition to the doubling effect of planetary love and light and the basic function of serving as beacon or shepherd.

    Thus there are those of fifth density whose abilities to express wisdom are great. There are fourth- and sixth-density Wanderers whose ability to serve as, shall we say, passive radiators or broadcasters of love and love/light are immense. There are many others whose talents brought into this density are quite varied.

    Thus Wanderers have three basic functions once the forgetting is penetrated, the first two being basic, the tertiary one being unique to that particular mind/body/spirit complex.
    "

    But we all know this quote! BigSmile

    There is much more that can be said about this, but I will leave it here for now. What I wanted to share is that it is absolutely worth seeking this memory. And when those doubts etc arise within the mind complex which are in the way of this seeking/asking, then maybe just looking at these doubts or just melting with them, or trying to understand them, may be enough... They are not that bad after all, I noticed! And may be they will lead one to the understanding of the self as in - know yourself, accept yourself, become the Creator. But each path is different, and I'm just sharing mine.

    Either way, for me - this was the most important memory of all!

    excellent!

    I totally agree Ankh.

    the fidelity to one's life plan is the greatest service of all, imo.

    and when (if) we get to the other side, and see that we weren't true to our life plan, or that the life plan was not fulfilled, I am sure the sense is not of failure or regret, but perhaps that things could have been done differently, or that the many markers that showed themselves in our life experience could have been interpreted better etc.

    the life plan is not something that anyone imposes on us ... its always self chosen for our best interests and advancement. And it is most highly personal.

    and so one life plan might involve a humble life, with no outward seeming 'greatness', and yet, if fulfilled, and the contract executed, it is a great service to the self ('higher self'); as the lesson was comprehended and put into practice.

    - -

    I think regression such as the one that the Dolores school carries out can be very helpful in this regard; as many of the illnesses that result are through not carrying through our life mission, and having these 'catalysts' present themselves as a result.

    and so clarity here on self-understandings can both result in physical healings, as well as mental, emotional, and spiritual healings (greater sense of wholeness etc).

    - -

    and yes, there are many clues to our life plan in the bedrock of incarnational choices that we made - the choices as to family, personality, physical vehicle, and latent talents. Like a detective, we can come to appreciate every aspect of these bedrock choices, and how they might fit into a theoretical understanding of our 'whole life plan'; although such things are subject to conjecture and various amounts of confusion, as you've very well hinted to above.

    anyway, that's great that you've experienced this 24 hour window of self-clarity, even though you are still working through the finer aspects of it.

    I can say for myself that my own experiences of late have involved moving into some very clear spaces myself, and having those 'life puzzle pieces' finally click as well.

    - -

    anyway, all the best Ankh.

    there is no greater sense of clarity than knowing what one 'wants' in this life. It is the greatest enabler of all.

    peace and namaste,

    fellow seeker and wayfarer,

    I've strayed so far off my path a few years ago and found an intense acceleration in catalyst which propelled me back onto the path. It's amazing when I look back and see all the stupid things iv done and within a very short time iv grown so much. The truth is its hilarious how we always end up at the right place at the right time. I do not remember my mission fully but my personal growth continues to spiral exponentially and I trust om heading in the only direction I can.

    It's good to know that at least someone on here knows what the heck they're supposed to be doing..glad to hear it Smile I've been drawn more and more towards areas of Earth healing and preservation, while addressing people's basic needs in alignment with those things at the moment. I figure it's one way to remain grounded and not get ahead of ourselves. The way your memory came back to you was pretty cool.

    Ankh, thank you so much for sharing this. And congratulations on remembering!
    I'm still quite confused about my path and feelings of doubt/unworthiness still arise every now and then. However, everything that's happened in the past does seem to make more sense. Plus, I've had so many wonderful experiences these past months that even though I may have all kinds of vague ideas or personal wishes, I'm quite content, wait, happy even, at where I am now. And now, and now.. Wink

    Good going, Ankh! Possibly you "hit bottom" with the unworthiness issue and your higher self blessed you with the clue, or maybe your HS "guided" you down to the bottom so that you could be receptive to the memory. Whatever; it doesn't matter.

    I hope you did write a Note to Self with the memory so that you can refer to it if you need to.

    I'm burning incense daily now.

    I don't know my path, but I resonate strongly with just being and not doing anything really. So I sleep a lot. And I feel fine doing it. Probably just being that passive radiator of love/light. Thought I haven't really read the Ra Material in about a year. Just pieces of it that are posted.

    I'm curious: What is exactly your mission? Is it a specific task (e.g. to meet someone who incarnated with you in this illusion or do a certain act) or more a common purpose/goal (like to awaken otherselves in respect of spirituality, politics or else).

    How did you ecactly remember it? And has everyone a mission which is stated in the soul contract?

    Good stuff Ankh. Probably worth noting for those who wish to know their 'Path' that they are already on It, though a more conscious relatable narrative can be attained through regression (The QHHT Method by Dolores as Plenum mentioned) or 'force bruting' through Channelled readings. Heck I've had more than my fair share of readings, and whilst some might say it's better to go it all alone (Gotta see the irony in that yet relying on Channelled works such as LOO and Seth ha!) I am much better off for it as it has given be a much better perspective of where I'm going of what I'm to do. As I say that the 'core' message of each was all merely a confirmation of what I knew deep down within.

    Your Guidance System and 'Higher' Self are only too willing to help. Ask to 'know' and be receptive, the answer will come. It's usually more about opening the belief filters and being receptive to what comes through, not judging the manner in which it does.

    Quote:The truth is its hilarious how we always end up at the right place at the right time.

    Right, though often the 'straying' off the path is also a part of the path ;-). It provides the necessary foundational experiences to allow one to go about their role, which otherwise may not have been possible if some of the 'traumatic' (From a certain perspective) experiences had not taken place. Sort of like the homeless Orphan who worked hard and now in their adulthood created a centre for other such Children, which they may not have done if they were pampered all their lives. We don't give ourselves enough credit for what we put ourselves through, but the results can be awesome (though the danger arises when the lessons aren't learnt).

    Many want to know the purpose of an experience, where the answer is simple. Ask yourselves "What did I learn from it?", and the answer you give youself was the purpose.

    How did you ecactly remember it? And has everyone a mission which is stated in the soul contract?

    It is both a general task and a specific task, like Ra mentioned in that quote I provided in the first post. The specific task is more of a common goal, as you named it, like to awaken other-selves in respect to spirituality etc., but goes much more into the details, specific for me. But I have to mention now that I am not sure that I am going to pull it throw. This very thought - I may not pull it thorugh - brings a lot of humility, and feelings of oneness with other-selves to me. It's ok to "fail", because there are many Wanderers (and other entities who chose their incarnations) who dysfunction upon our plane at this time, and I am no exception. So, I may not pull this through.

    As I mentioned, I came home from work and lit a certain incense, and from it came a specific scent. This scent brought a memory to me of my early seeking, when I was a teenager and just started to seek consciously and intensively. Back then, I went to a library (didn't have internet or Google), and borrowed piles upon piles of books. I was curious about almost everything. And I read about almost everything, from science to history, from psychology to metaphysics. I read about Egypt and pharaos, about stars and physics, about ghosts and OBEs. But there was an essence in this seeking. This essence was me, looking for something specific. What was it? When I melted with this essence, is when I almost started to laugh - cause this essence has always been there with me, or it is me.

    Although I read about almost everything back then, there was something specific that I was looking for, something that stood out, something that was the main reason to this seeking. And although I have been a sceptic, and didn't believe many things that I read, and have had many, many doubts, there was something that I always knew was there, and this is what I was looking for. This something could no one take away from me with their doubts either, no matter of their scepticism, or the mockery - it was an integral part of me, and I was looking for it. If you have had this similar kind of experience of seeking - try to remember - what were you looking for in the beginning? And also, what were/are you dreaming of? What are you now fantasizing about most? And what activates your being most? For me, this something has been too close to see, until now, so it was like I didn't even notice it. As I mentioned, it is closer than my own heartbeat, or it feels like it. So it was difficult to see until now...

    If everyone has a mission? No, I don't believe that everyone upon this planet has a mission. But those of senior vibration most likely do. They didn't come here to smell the flowers and enjoy the vibration, because it smells better and is more enjoyable back home. They offered themselves for a reason, and that reason was to aid. But aid how? And this is *the* question. And yes, they perhaps planned lessons for themselves, which have to do more with the self than the other-selves, but the main reason was something that had to do with other-selves, or what do you think? As Ra said, this reason is threefold, the third one being unique to each. I also do believe that almost everyone on this forum have chosen such mission, but due to dysfunction many of us here are confused and don't follow this path. The reason to why you are asking these questions for instance, does it have to do with there being a reason for you? Do you remember it yourself? Do you think that you chose a mission for yourself too? Or what do you think about this all?

    (12-17-2013, 02:24 PM)Horuseus Wrote: Probably worth noting for those who wish to know their 'Path' that they are already on It...

    In a way I do agree with you, but there is also this to consider when contemplating that all is well:

    "There are many Wanderers whose dysfunction with regard to the planetary ways of your peoples have caused, to some extent, a condition of being caught up in a configuration of mind complex activity which, to the corresponding extent, may prohibit the intended service."

    "There are many Wanderers whom you may call adepts who do no conscious work in the present incarnation."

    As I see it, as one seeks the wisdom of "all is well", there may still have been an intended service perhaps, which one meant to offer in this incarnation? And if this service is not sought or offered, perhaps the Wanderer, or any other entity who had conscious purpose with its incarnation, may perhaps then experience confusion, angst, or dissatisfaction?

    Good question. =) I am sure that there is a reason why I asked this question, but I don't know it. I discovered the Law of One maybe 1,5 years ago. I read about 90 percent of it although it is difficult to understand these concepts in depth since English is not my native language. I'm young (I'm 22 years old) so I'm still at the beginning of my journey (I hope). But I see myself in lots of things you wrote. As a child, I also used to read all what I can get (and I still do). I was looking for something, this searching process became especially stronger when I went to university two years ago.

    I somehow have the feeling that my mission is in some way connected with writing. As a child, I often sat on the table in our kitchen and wrote texts. I would also read the news infront of my parents (I tinkered a small TV and I sat behind it) or write them stories or else. And I just recognized that I named myself Poet - a pseudonym I normally don't use and which I first used in this forum.

    To sum it up, I don't know and I have a lot of doubts. I have to finish because my bus is leaving. I will maybe write more tomorrow...

    Looking through all that I have been given, looking at my notable past lives, I feel I am an artist at my core -- an artist that has been highly repressed. I highly resonate with the ideal that I came here to simply create in a peaceful way through beauty and sharing. I am slowly rediscovering this part of me. I see this as my new mission: Make Earth more beautiful in communion with its people.

    Negative influence has tried to sway me more towards a path of power... My limited self-expression has made this a great temptation to feed the instatiable hunger that is caused by such. I am now leaning towards more peaceful means and ends.

I was looking for something, this searching process became especially stronger when I went to university two years ago.

    I somehow have the feeling that my mission is in some way connected with writing. As a child, I often sat on the table in our kitchen and wrote texts. I would also read the news infront of my parents (I tinkered a small TV and I sat behind it) or write them stories or else. And I just recognized that I named myself Poet - a pseudonym I normally don't use and which I first used in this forum.

    To sum it up, I don't know and I have a lot of doubts. I have to finish because my bus is leaving. I will maybe write more tomorrow...

    It says that you are from Germany, right? There is a German translation of the Law of One here: http://llresearch.org/library/the_law_of...index.aspx

    And there is also a Facebook page by this translator here: https://www.facebook.com/DasGesetzDesEinen if you are interested. Maybe if reading there, you don't need to struggle with the English language as much?

    I see myself in lots of things that you write too! And I remember sitting at the kitchen table myself, writing, writing and writing, and then also doing the "performances" in front of the adults. Not the TV, cause TV back then wasn't that big, but doing a "theatre" for them! Smile

    Good luck, brother!

    I do a fair bit of dot work in my Illustrations and I find its the same as going into a trance state. I'v seen countless sparks of light whilst drawing and had many revelations. When you focus on a drawing you allow your imagination too flow from the unconscious.

    Thanks for your kind words and the information Ankh! I knew about the German translation and I already read a little into it. But it doesn't resonate so much like the original text. No complaint about the translation here, this is surely a very close translation from all what I have seen.
    Maybe I will read the Study Guide during the holidays. What I don't get is the Tarot system and the Chakras with these colours. Maybe somebody has a good compact source for that?

    I remember Krishnamurti saying that every person is born with some gift and that we must understand what it is and use it. He even went hard line and said it doesn't matter if you die doing it, find it and use it. He gave an example of having gift to create art and how thru our socialization we are discouraged by family and society to engage in such activities and persuaded to become business men or doctors instead. Then a kid asks, well can't you be a businessman AND an artist lol. He shakes his head and said something like, kids they are programmed by their society and parents so well lol.

    Great post, Ankh!

    I'm so happy that you have gained this sort of understanding and insight into the purpose motivating your incarnation here. Like you write above, it must come as such a relief.

    I have sought similar. While I have a strong hunch that I am serving roughly within the parameters intended before incarnation, there is still an intense pull to discover something more, something... else, you might say. I don't' know to what extent the desire stems from something real, or is rather a certain narrative that I've adopted and superimposed over my actual pre-incarnational goals, but it is there nevertheless.

    I've felt though that to be in harmony with ones pre-incarnational plan, like you describe, would necessarily bring a level of peace, calm, and certainty. Which wouldn't mean I suddenly have all the answers, or am no longer confused by life, or am free from suffering. But I would have that bedrock of knowing that, no matter how the storms blow, there is no longer any self-doubt – I am doing what I came here to do, and to be.

    As it now stands, there are waves of the most intense and (as I internally perceive these things) cruel catalyst that just absolutely inundate me. On the outside I go about my business and the duties of my day, but on the inside there is a concentration of raw, energetic pain, like an injury that's been reactivated. It is complex energy field with emotions of being lost, feeling inadequate to the task, feeling alone in a threatening and cold world that will... I don't know... crush me alive. It is a life-sized ball of dread/anxiety/terror/fear, and there is a crying out for relief or escape, but there is literally no "place", inner or outer, to go.

    I don't know it's source, but I wonder if understanding and knowing my purpose her would ameliorate the intensity of this inner terror because I would experience that "clear air around my path" you describe.

    At any rate, the seeking continues. Thanks for all your own hard work through the valleys and trenches of sorrow, dear Ankh. I hope your feet grow stronger in this walk. : )

    Thank you, dear one. Heart

    You know, just because one knows the path, does not mean that one can walk it? Unfortunately...

    I do my best, but sometimes I have to laugh at that path... This "clear air around my path" is not there anymore. And it's funny, because I thought that if anything, than this one would always be there with me. I've been through many metaphysical experiences, which never lasted, but in this case, I really thought that this "clear air" would stay with me... It didn't.

    So, nowdays, I am equally lost as before understanding or knowing this path. It feels like standing in front of the Mount Everest, and knowing that your pre-incarnative plan was to clumb that rock, but in real life you are in no way prepared to do it because of your fitness, physical ability etc. So you are just standing there, looking up, and laughing, thinking "yeah, right!" =)

    So, my experience, my brother, in regards to what you are saying here: "it must come as such a relief" - kill that Buddha. Wink

    But in regards to what you are saying here: "While I have a strong hunch that I am serving roughly within the parameters intended before incarnation, there is still an intense pull to discover something more, something... else, you might say." - my humble opinion is that if you feel that there is still something more or else that you feel that you are intended to do, then there probably is...

    GLB, I certainly can relate to the waves your describing, I know them well!
    For as long as I can remember I've had this 'scene' in my mind where someone walks up to me and says; "what in the world do you think you're doing!?, don't you know you're here to (...)"
    Well, I suppose that's just wishful thinking. But it's frustrating as hell to feel so restless at times, without knowing why, or the absolute 'cluelessness' about which way to turn next.

    Ankh, you're so inspiring! Laughter is the greatest remedy on this crazy path, really BigSmile
    Thanks a bunch for sharing!

    Nice to see this thread again, and I too can heavily relate to what GLB said. I've found it easier now to negotiate this reality and thoughts of what was chosen pre-incarnation. I now believe everything is as it was chosen. Everything that happens is/was my choice. This is the reality that got made, from all the random thoughts and emotions swirling about, this world as it is right now is the one I chose to be on, the one I loved the most to happen, despite whatever temporary feeling I may have now. I accept that choice.

    "her"… "here"…. may be synonyms when you consider the her-ness of planet Earth. :-)

    Ha! I've had similar fancy in this undying hope that I would cross paths with a genuinely enlightened being who would take me in and train me, much like Christian Bale's learning to become Batman up in the mountain cave.

    Okay, not quite like that, but you get the gist. : )

    You have, in effect, stopped resisting or reduced the resistance to the moment, to what IS. I think what you describe is one way of expressing this non-resistance in that you claim responsibility for that which you are experiencing.

    Eckhart Tolle says as much, suggesting that one accept that which is transpiring in this moment as if it had been chosen by you. Such a simple sounding practice and realization, such a sometimes impossible task. : )

I've been through many metaphysical experiences, which never lasted, but in this case, I really thought that this "clear air" would stay with me... It didn't.

    In my earlier stages of seeking, I was naive enough to believe that upon having a mountaintop experience (the sense of having risen above ones set of personal difficulties, gaining the long and broad view, seeing with clarity, standing in the sunlight, etc.), the mountaintop experience would endure. In those moments I felt empowered to follow through with all my plans and desires, ready and able, and grateful for all the difficulty that had transpired to lead me to that point.

    But, it invariably fades, and the dark places of confusion and pain are once more. Having seen these cycles repeat over the years, I, like you, realized that they never seem to last. Thusly I've been been hesitant to declare a more or less permanent change of altitude. My policy has been to wait and see, knowing that the seemingly positive experience will likely cycle out with the seemingly negative experience. (Meanwhile, as has been my intention in recent years, to discover the witnessing consciousness within that is aware of all outward movement and phenomena.)

    And while I wholeheartedly believe and know that seekers have breakthroughs in moving from one stage to another, rendering profound, transformative changes to their experience of self in an instant, my own path has tended to be a gradual, almost imperceptible change - visible only in hindsight. Though there have been moments of insight leading to more noticeable shifts in consciousness.

    Quote:Ankh wrote: So, nowdays, I am equally lost as before understanding or knowing this path.

    This feeling is not foreign to me.

    Though arduous and requiring enormous perseverance, faith, and skillful balance, the climb is eminently do-able, I think. It is our perception of the difficulty of the climb wherefrom stems the greatest difficulty.

    In the process of all spiritual seeking, one has to give room for another variable or quality that plays an important role in these matters. The end product or goal, to use a distorted concept, is not a direct result of sheer will and muscle with a healthy dose of faith, but is enabled by that mysterious other half of self-effort that meets us upon the path in proportion to our seeking, but is not produced by us. That being, grace.

    In my opinion, I think that framing the life path in terms of the larger vision (e.g.: climbing Mt Everest) certainly helps motivate daily effort and guards against loss of hope and meaning, but I think it also helpful *not* to see the mountain as a whole - because who can climb a whole mountain, especially when one feels inadequate to the task - but to simply set and orient the intentions in this moment, focusing only upon this particular step, allowing the climb, or the walk, to unfold as it will.

    That adjustment in attitude relieves some of the burden so many of us feel (myself especially) as we perceive the quantity and difficulty of the Work that needs accomplished. If you try to take the entire college course at once, your resources will fail and your shoulders will buckle under the weight. If you rather focus on the assignment in front of you, knowing that upon its completion the course design will provide the following, and the following, then the burden is lifted, somewhat.

    8.1 - Ra:Consider, if you will, the path your life-experience complex has taken. Consider the coincidences and odd circumstances by which one thing flowed to the next. Consider this well.

    Each entity will receive the opportunity that each needs.

    I feel likewise. Smile
