what is your purpose? | Cherie Roe Dirksen

We are living in chaotic and tumultuous times. We have a plethora of information pumped out at us from every channel, be it media, religion, government or our social groups.

You must be this, act like that, live like us — you know the story but you are feeling overwhelmed and a definite sense of lack. That pit in your stomach that tells you something is not quite right.

The truth is that when you filter through all this garbage and sift out the gems, you are.

Hey! You left that sentence hanging — you can’t do that!

Yes, I can and I did it for a good reason. You just are — the ‘I am that I am’, nothing more, nothing less. Everything else that is external and trying to tug at your attention is a mere distraction to the call that comes from within.

That feeling of

being alone in the world
not being understood
not even understanding yourself
feeling depressed
emotional swings
always struggling to be happy
or to have enough
the need to be recognized or acknowledged
the fear of not being good enough

Do these attributes sound familiar?

Welcome to Planet Earth, the Galaxies no.1 Classroom for Misfits and Lost Souls!

What is worrisome is that the medical profession starts to label all these conditions and you are now marked as ‘chronically depressed’, ‘ADHD’ or ‘bi-polar’ (yeah, aren’t we all! This is the realm of duality), the list goes on. Then the medicating starts and what is treated is suppressed and the little emotion we have left is dulled-down to a drip.

Does Medicine Come Cheap?

It should but alas it doesn’t, especially not if you are in the business of making money from illness. If the drug corporations and governments truly had people’s welfare at heart, medicine and healing practices would not literally have to cost you and arm or a leg.

Keep ‘em Sick

The more illnesses recognized by the profession the better — the more money to be made. Have you ever looked at the contra-indications of medicine? It’s a laugh! And it’s all ‘legal’. I especially love how most medication warns that this may result in death — no shit, Sherlock!

Be careful of labels when the condition is emotional. Ply it with drugs if you want to sweep things under the rug, maybe we’ll see you back here in another life to work it out, or maybe you can deal with it today.

I’m not suggesting you throw away all your pills right now. Just look into what you really need and what can be replaced with a good eating and exercise plan (never mind a good ‘thought’ plan).

Modern medicine has given us value, a bridge from illness to wellness in many cases. However, sometimes the training wheels need to come off so we can realize our fullest potential. To continuously take drugs is not going to do your body any long-term good. Use medication sparingly, if at all.I’m not suggesting you throw away all your pills right now.

The Real Good News

The upshot of all this is that there is a non-expensive cure to any disease, mental or physical. It’s called AWARENESS.

Awareness or enlightenment doesn’t automatically conjure up a cloud for you to float on and dictate gospels to your scribe. You are still going to have the odd bout of anxiety, depression or ailment — the difference is you are going to be able to identify it immediately and start to work on the remedy instead of having a pity party and feel helpless.

You Are in the Driver’s Seat!

You are always in control of your life circumstance. You are not a human being having a spiritual experience, you are a soul having a corporeal experience. You are a master of matter, you have just forgotten.

The world is experiencing what the spiritually inclined would call a consciousness shift and what science would refer to as evolution of species.

We are being upgraded, if you like. Humanity have been sleeping sheep for centuries (no wonder we count sheep in order to fall asleep) and the time is ripe to WAKE UP! Can you hear the galaxies alarm clock going off?

The alarm has been going off for quite some time now, unfortunately some have continuously hit the snooze button. Fret not, the galaxy is readying a pale of ice-cold water and is swirling the bucket as we speak — best to wake up now rather than wake up cold, wet and in shock.

What Can I Do to Fix Myself?

Oh, thank heavens! I thought you’d never ask. The answer is simple: Remember.

To remember means to re-member — to become a part of the whole again.

More specifically, you need to remember that:

You have a spark of the divine that lives within your sacred temple you refer to as your body — treat your body with reverence and respect
You are in control of your destiny and not a victim of your fate
You came here to experience the great shift of consciousness and to be a part of it
You are not only whole but a part of the whole, see the divine en-masse — in your brothers and sisters all over the world
Fear is an illusion meant to suppress and contain
You were never meant to be contained or suppressed
You can rise above any limitations
If God is omnipresent, then you are also a part of God (this is especially for those of you who have been or are indoctrinated)
Your planet is also a part of God and she holds the cure to any ailment in lost traditions — look to plants and natural, wholesome foods to cure your sick bodies
Your thoughts and intent dictate the unfolding of your life — this is why positive thinking, prayer, meditation and affirmations are potent and can also heal many aspects of your life — body and soul
Love is the only way forward — it is going to mend the past, present and the future

Break free of your limiting beliefs and join the uprising of the soul — become a part of Awakened Humanity.

The 11 Step Guide to Spreading Love

Does it not feel wonderful to be the catalyst that activates the pay it forward system? What is paying it forward? For those of you who don’t know — it is when you perform an act of kindheartedness with no need for reward, the receiver of that action then pays it forward to someone else.

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
― Rumi

This creates a cycle of goodwill that can, hopefully, snowball — spreading out into the world at large.

Do you feel like starting an avalanche of joy today?

How Can I Be of Service?

Here is a simple list of things that you can start to incorporate into your every day life, scattering those seeds of love and bliss. I guarantee that the pay-off will be huge — just watch how you start affecting people’s lives.

Smile at people — especially the ones that look grumpy. They are the very ones who probably need your beam of sunlight more than anything!
Hug people — most people are tactile and appreciate some physical contact. It could mean the world of difference to them if you hugged them instead of just standing there like a great lump!
Genuine compliments — don’t hold back on this one but don’t force it either. There are so many times when we think something nice about a person but never actually open our mouths to voice it. Just one little spoken observation could make someone’s day.
Practice kindness — be gentle and giving in all you do. Don’t only reserve yourself for friends and family. Treat everyone you meet as If you were long-lost buddies. Do this with animals too; they just thrive on unconditional love.
Be impeccable with your word — think before you speak. Try to filter out your blurbs. Sometimes we say too much or let slip hurtful things that we can’t retract, so be mindful of your dialogue at all times. People will notice this and want the same quality.
Thoughtfulness — bring tokens of love and gratitude whenever you visit or bump into someone. I learnt this from Deepak Chopra. He said that this can be in the form of a silent prayer or blessing, a bunch of hand-picked flowers or a poem. It needn’t cost anything but the thought. People really do appreciate your consideration.
Greet – always try to say a cheerful ‘hello’ to passers-by, shop assistants or anyone who catches your eye. This is a simple yet effective practice that works because you are acknowledging their existence.

Acknowledgement — ‘I See You’

I would like to share a story with you. I was walking in the streets of Cape Town when a sub button homeless man on a bench asked me for some change.

I stopped and started looking in my bag for some money. While I was scouring my untidy bag for loose coins he started to mumble something like ‘sorry for wasting my time’ to which I replied that he could never waste my time.

He looked quite startled at this and said that I had got him wrong, he had actually said that most people tell him that he is wasting their time and was really thankful that I had even stopped to talk to him, let alone give him money.

I did manage to fish out a few coins for him, as I handed it over I apologized as it wasn’t much. To this he replied, ‘it is not the money that has made my day, it is the fact that you even stopped to acknowledge my presence.’ I held back a bit to talk with him and he said something else that I found remarkable but understood him completely.

Don’t Judge a Book by it’s Cover

He said that he was not ‘this’ as he pointed to his disheveled clothes — referring that he was not a vagrant.

He said that he was a soul on a journey, just like everyone else, and he has chosen this path to learn something that he still needs to figure out. I found this man to be a truly courageous and enlightened human being who taught me something very valuable that day.

Do not pass anyone by, make sure that the very least you give is your attention — this can be their gold nugget.
