Pressure to perform
QUESTION: Masters, how can we best connect with our guides in order to fulfill our purpose/mission here on Earth? For the last 12 months I have been feeling physically and mentally stressed because I feel like I have no clear purpose in my life work-wise. I try to connect to the divine but the thoughts/answers I get are clearly my own and they provide no answers. Please Masters show me how I can find my purpose. ~Elisabeth, Norway
ANSWER: Your questions clearly show that your personal belief system involves the fact you think a plan exists that you have not discovered yet. Yes and no! Before you came to Earth you had decided on a series of lessons you wished to work on in this life. These events were for you to be able to learn all about negative and positive influences on your journey. They were just chapter titles; the “living” part of your life was to fill in the subtitles and the rest of the material in each chapter.
Nothing is set in stone (predestination) because the prime rule for all human life is the ability to make choices. Everyone shares the same general purpose in life: to discover as much about your nonphysical Source energy as you can, and to bring your abilities into the human arena.
You are like many others on the planet who think they have to find what they were supposed to do here. Nothing is further from the truth. Waiting for orders is easy; you do not have to take any responsibility for decisions. But part of your enlightenment process is to make those decisions yourself and see how they affect your knowledge base. Stop putting stress on yourself and go with the flow of the universe around you.
You think far too much. Start asking yourself what you feel about a situation instead of what you think about it. Your connection to Source, or the divine as you call it, does sound like yourself because nonphysical energy has no vocal cords with which to answer in any voice besides your own. The guides who are there to assist you can only give you advice; they cannot tell you what to do because that interferes with your freedom of choice.
Relax, put your feet up, and feel what you want to experience next. Yes, we said what you want to experience—you are the one making the decisions. Enjoy your choices; nothing is right or wrong. They are just all physical experiences providing learning opportunities for your soul.
