Purpose

Throughout my lifetime, I have pondered, processed and mentally filed much information. Some my own ideas, some involving the undoing of others' misguided teachings. I have, at times, questioned and analyzed to the point of absolute absurdity. I had no choice but to question. And I have found peace with my purpose. I am a reflector of light. Any soul existing on this earth today, in human form, is well aware that their journey is not yet complete. Through relentless trials, we as humans are constantly challenged to be what we were meant to become. To find our own unique purpose. We would not exist in this form had we been previously spiritually perfected. I have only known imperfection. And I embrace it. It is not my place to judge where others may be on their spiritual journey, nor is it my place to intrude upon it. Peace in spirituality exists only when one respects the understanding or "beliefs" of another.

In being a reflector of light, I only exist as my true self, perhaps inspiring another to do the same. While some choose to read books about spiritual enlightenment to validate themselves, others look to religion and self-proclaimed spiritual leaders for answers. And then there are those who choose to employ their energy challenging others' objectives, inadvertently neglecting their own. Through their accusations of what is "right or wrong", they reveal a dire need for further personal spiritual evaluation. I have come to realize that most humans would rather exist in naiveté. To not only trust someone else's prognosis of life, but to also follow a dictator-like social code. Fearing a consequence such as eternally damning one's soul to the mercy of a red-horned evil being. Or worse, believing in something simply because not believing is a much greater risk for them.

The fact is, the only true resolution lies within the self. The realization that we each exist in our very own universe and that we are here to fill a spiritual void. Our own unparagoned intendment.

Conclusion: Reverential fear of the unknown is the ultimate betrayal of the spirit's purpose.
