LESSON #3 Discovering your Life Purpose

Course in Miracles – Lesson Three – Finding your life purpose
ACIM Lesson 191
I have a function which God would have me fill.
“You will awaken to your own call, for the call to awaken is within you. If I live within you, you are awake. Do not set limits on what you believe I can do through you or you will not accept what I can do for you. If you believe that your power is limited, you are limiting Mine.” ACIM
Finding our life purpose is simple. we have the information already inside of us. We must only move everything else out of the way to find it.
Our lives proceed out of our intentions for it.
Your life is exactly as you have intended it to be. It was created by your thoughts, desires, fears, preparation, and beliefs. Manifesting and creating your life requires that you identify the beliefs you have that have created the parts of your life that you are not enjoying. Once identified, you can shift your awareness to ideas and beliefs that are in more alignment with who you really are.

There is power in you that is not of you. When you tap into this power better consequences will naturally ensue. Be willing. God is bigger than your problems. There is no order of difficulties in Miracles. When you change the way you look at the world, the world you look at changes. Open your mind to this possibility and let miracles happen. All power is of God. What is not of Him has no power to do anything. We are powerless BEFORE God, but POWERFUL with God. God lives within each one of us. Listen to his voice, Follow his lead.

Beliefs that keep us from manifesting and creating our greatest desires.
1. I have tried to manifest before and it has never worked.
2. It is arrogant to think that I have the power to manifest or create anything. I got D’s in High school.
3. Manifesting and creating is reserved for God.
4. I am not in charge of my life. Things just happen by the throw of the dice.
5. People can’t manifest, those who have are just lucky.
6. Well maybe some people can manifest, but only because they are highly evolved beings like Jesus or Buddah.

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I SAID, YOU ARE GODS?

Every moment we reach a higher state of being, we “attach” to the same power that created us.
Know that we need nothing. No Things. The things that flow into our lives are just Symbols of the unlimited abundance of our source. Some things enter and some things leave and nothing needs to challenge our balance. Search the essence behind the “thing” we think we want and need. Define the feeling behind the desire. How do we think this “thing” will make us feel?

New Attitude
1. I am working on transcending my conditioning to gain access to my Higher Self.
2. I am part of God, just like a wave is part of the ocean. When I use the power of the “Ocean” to create, I add to God’s glory.
3. There is no doubt in me that I have the power to manifest when I surrender and trust in the Wisdom of Who created me.
4. I need no ones approval or good opinion of my belief.
5. I refuse to defend myself to anyone or anything of the earth who seems stuck in earthly laws and only believe what they can see.
6. I only trust what my heart KNOWS. As I surrender to my Higher Power, my trust flourishes.
7. I work each day to live as my Higher Self because when I do, I know that I am limitless.
8. When I pray, I invite the Divine to express Itself through me. His Sacred Love flows through me which is the NECESSARY POWER to manifest.
9. Because I am part of everything and everyone, I am already part of that which I choose to manifest. Phenomenon Story of the apple.
10. What I desire to manifest already exists, I just have to pull the pieces together. I am just bringing to myself what is already in me.
11. I originated in a field of energy that has no boundaries. I must work to raise my vibration to the Radio station where I can hear my creator.
How do we gain access to our Higher Self?
1. Be immersed in and surrounded by Peace.
2. Listen only to the Voice of Peace.
3. Go beyond the restrictions of the physical plane.
4. Trust what your heart KNOWS.
5. Keep your heart focused on Spiritual understanding.
6. Quietly know that what IS possible is not what the world thinks is possible.
7. Search inside of yourself for God. He is not in anything or anyone outside of yourself.
8. Banish ALL doubt that what you desire will appear. (But do not be attached to a time frame or how it will appear)
9. Honor your worthiness to receive. Abandon all regret and shame. Guilt keeps you from God.
10. Pray differently. God is not a vending machine. Coin in, gift out. Your prayers should be for God to change you inside, not to change your outside circumstances.
11. Detach from the outcome of your asking. Have patience without attachment.
12. Understand the essence of what you desire and shift from being attached to a thing to what feeling you wish the thing to bring into your life.
13. Meditate twice a day. Listen for the guidance. Then act upon it. To hear God we must get beyond the incessant thoughts of our mind.
When we feel peaceful within, we attract more of that to us. Source cannot be removed from what it creates. It is within each of us. As easily as the world has taught us to disconnect from this source, we can easily turn back to source, Who is patiently waiting for us.
ACIM
Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and without anxiety. The notion of certainty and patience go together.
Infinite patience produces a sign of the best immediate results.

Authentic Prayer
Dear God,
I have having difficulty manifesting love in this particular part of my life. I am asking for your assistance. I invite your Sacredness to flow through me now and allow your Divine Power to express Itself through me.
Amen.

Prayer is a communion with God; an invitation to Co-Exist and Co-manifest your life.
A sense of separation from God is the only lack your really need to correct. ACIM

What do we do after we have created a desire, requested the Power of God to assist us, and surrendered our own little power?
1. Banish doubt that it is on its’ way.
2. Leave your expectations and go about your business.
3. Maintain privacy about your desire.
4. Maintain a heightened awareness of Cues and Coincidences that your desires are manifesting.
5. Act immediately on the cues and coincidence the moment you recognize it.
6. View obstacles as lessons, not failures. Our falls propel us to a higher state of awareness.
7. Be willing to leave behind the totality of all your human beliefs that miracles are not possible.
8. Detach from the collective consciousness
9. Relax in peace trusting that your desire is in the works.
10. Tame your ego. The ego will block your vision of your highest awareness.
11. Show gratitude in every moment. Fully appreciate everyone and everything in your life.

What is necessary to change a person is to change the awareness of ones self. Acknowledge the truth when you hear it and move toward it.

What will abort your manifestation?
1. Fault Finding, rather than love finding
2. Complaining
3. Feeling deprived or angry at the Universal Source
4. Taking what you have for granted
5. Being envious of others.
6. Ignoring the beauty that is all around you.
7. We behave as our false self. What we have or have not acquired defines us.
8. The ego will drone on and intensify worrisome thoughts that we are really powerless.

Anything that excites us is evidence that we have the ability to do it. It is connected to our calling. A spirit message saying, you can do this. Select the vibration and connect to it. It will come with whatever guidance and assistance we need.

Wayne Dyer’s - Nine Steps to Manifesting.

Have an awareness of your Highest Self
Trust yourself
Know yourself as part of the whole
Know that you can attract to yourself ANYTHING you desire.
Honor your worthiness to receive
Connect to the Divine Source twice daily.
Meditate
Patiently detach from the outcome.
React to all manifestations with gratitude and generosity.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds and transcends all limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world, dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive and you find yourself to be greater than you thought they could be.” Patanjali

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Once you begin, providence takes over and things begin to happen that would not otherwise have happened.” Goethe





When enough of us stay in this energy of staying connected to our source, we can create our own distinct world.
What happens when you live in your “God Space”?
1. When you follow your Higher Self, the struggle disappears and all events become blessings.
2. From your peaceful mind, great ideas flow, ideas which could be a solution to your biggest perceived problem.
3. You Feel Self Realized. This is the only purpose of your soul.
4. You know and understand that all you are experiencing now is temporary. In your God Space you will always see things in their proper light.
5. There is nothing you cannot have if you choose it. Even before you have asked, God has given it to you.
6. You are empowered to conjure up more and more. We are born to create to add to the God’s Glory. God will always give us more and more opportunity to create.
7. You never doubt your ability to accomplish your desire.
8. Your desires are for the good of the whole.
9. In the midst of chaos, you can stay calm and you realize that every situation is neutral.

Jesus says,
If you want to be like me I will help you because we are alike. If you want to be different, I will wait until you change your mind. ACIM

What to expect when we live an inspired life.
1. Heartbreak will still come our way, but all experiences are valuable because of the compassion, forgiveness and other lessons they teach.
2. We easily see how our lives are so limited when we live in ego energy. We begin to start off each day by intending it to be inspired. (Meditate, Read, Write, Pray, Invite your Higher Power to co-create your day.)
3. Every day will challenge us to live in Spirit, We will easily recognize the voice of the ego and learn to silence the inner dialogue. We quickly turn the situation around to look at it through the eyes of our Higher Power.

How to find your purpose? Questioning our ability to live an inspired life expresses our resistance to it. If we harmonize with spiritual energy and share our truth, Our Life purpose will chase us. What and who we need to accomplish tasks will surface.

“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.”

ACIM
There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. You do not change appearance though you smile more frequently, your forehead is serene your eyes are quiet. You walk this path as others walk or do you seem to be in-distinct from them, although you are indeed. Thus can you serve them as you serve yourself.

Lesson 191 ACIM
Oh My child, if you know what God wills for you, your joy would be complete and what he wills has happened for it was always true.

PG. 191 ACIM
You will never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander you but undertake a journey that is not real. Turn toward the light, for the little spark in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness forever.

PG.201
Only you can deprive yourself of anything. Do not oppose this realization, for it is truly the beginning of the dawn of light. Any limitation on your power is not the will of God. Your peace lies in its limitlessness. Limit the peace you share, and your Self must be unknown to you.

Morning & Evening Meditations:

#1
I am remembering my higher self, the real me, the positive entity within myself. There is no one in the world whose purpose is mine. Whatsoever good I desire is within me. The positive entity in my sub-conscience will supply me with all of my needs.

#2
Positive thinking programmed into my sub-conscience gives me a positive mental attitude, a positive new life style, a new self image, Self mastery, self love, self confidence, creativity, wisdom, spirituality and joy propelling me to right action with integrity so that all good things for me and others whom I touch will be realized in my life.
