Why are we here? This is the question that has driven humankind since the beginning of human reflection—when the first cave dwellers began to ponder the night sky. Can we ever really know the answer to this question?
The doubters say no. They argue that our existence is too complicated for the human mind. Or they go further and proclaim de facto that life has no meaning. They reduce the whole universe and our individual life journeys to the absurd. They say all that we see around us in nature and life sprang from literally nothing… for no purpose at all.
Yet, The Celestine Prophecy Novel describes a consciousness through which we can discover life’s meaning. It postulates that every day, more people are waking up and asking that question. And when you seek answers, scriptures say, you always find.
You see, once we ask if there is purpose, something is unlocked in our souls. A different sensibility opens in our minds. We can see higher meaning in the beauty and energy of nature, and in the journey of humankind itself, revealing a purpose behind our long struggle from wondering tribal peoples to village dwellers to nation states, to the throes of creating a global and galactic awareness that we are all part of.
But most of all, we can detect meaning in our own individual journeys, because questioning the purpose of life always awakens the first hint of intuitive calling in our hearts.
This intuitive nudging exists in all of us, especially in adolescence and early adulthood. At the oddest times, we sense that we have something special to do with our lives, some important contribution to make, some truth to tell, some creative endeavor that will somehow energize our existence and thrill our souls.
This feeling is so pervasive that the older adults in our lives sometimes caution us rightly to go slowly, to listen, and to learn the ways of the world before we jump. The wise want us to search beyond the ego for hints of our true dream.
Yet, this inner searching is happening more now than ever. Our sense of mission can be encouraged and nurtured because another Authentic Spiritual Experience is being recognized in our lives. What is this experience? It is Synchronicity, the experience of meaningful coincidences that miraculously lead us forward toward our dream… if we pay attention. This experience shows us that we aren’t alone in life. A Divine force is helping us.🙏✨
