What is Your Master Plan? From the continuing series of Kabbalah Weekly Consciousness Tune-ups, this week is more proactive than reflective. Check it out and see what it has 2 offer u:
If you've studied Kabbalah for any amount of time, you've learned that there are two parts to each of us - body and soul. In the spiritual world, our soul chooses a body it deems best suited to be the vehicle for our soul's mission. It's all rather poetic, assuming you know what your mission is.
Do you?
I'm guessing you have an idea, perhaps a concept, or even a firm grasp of at least part of your purpose in this world. This week, you, me, and the rest of the 6 billion plus people on the planet have an opportunity to get clearer on just what our purpose is.
Rather than continuing this game of hide and seek with the reason we came to this world, let's better understand what purpose means - kabbalistically speaking.
1. Global Mission - This one is often the toughest to find. It often involves seeking a group or organization in which you can be a member, a donor, or a volunteer. Sometimes it involves leaving the country; other times it just involves leaving the house. However, your soul is usually attracted to a mission that serves to help the kind of person that you have been in a previous lifetime. For example, people who feel a connection to the Spirituality for Kids Foundation ( www.sfk.org) have probably spent their childhood in a previous incarnation in a state of poverty (spiritual or economic), risk, abuse, or disadvantage.
To find your global mission: Before you go to sleep at night, ask the Light to introduce you or expose you to an opportunity to help people beyond your local community. If you have the Zohar, scan from this week's section (Shelach-Lecha ), in which Moses sent spies to report on the land of Israel, so you can send your soul to 'spy' on the place where you can best help the world. You may not receive your answer in the dream itself, but it should unfold itself within a short period. Keep asking for it, and it will come.
2. Interpersonal mission - This one usually involves your own past personal triumphs. Perhaps in this lifetime you were victimized, abused, addicted, or experienced an unusual situation that gives you a special sensitivity. You can also recognize this kind of mission by the kind of advice people seek from you, whether in business, relationships, health, or even spiritual growth.
To find your interpersonal mission: Examine the course of your life and look for those painful experiences that seem unfair or nonsensical. Chances are you went through those things so that you can better help others overcome and triumph in the same way you did.
3. Personal mission - This, quite obviously, is the most painful mission to find because it involves constant growth and transformation. It's probably the reason you were led to Kabbalah; to learn the tools that can put you in a state of constant personal forward movement. Your personal mission involves the things that are hardest for you to change or perhaps unable to change - at least it seems that way.
To find your personal mission: About six months ago, I wrote a Weekly Tune Up that explains how. I recommend re-reading it now.
The joy in finding your mission is enjoying the process. If you don't know what your mission is, don't consider it a failure. For most of us, part of the mission - if not the entire mission - is the search itself.
All the best,
Yehuda
