1. Discover Your Soul Journey - The Purpose Of Life/Existence

Hi,

I am Johnny John.

This talk will help you to become aware of your deeper purpose in life.

On my journey of self-discovery,

I realized that although we may all seem to go on different paths,

We actually all share the same universal destination.

So today I want to talk about that destination,

To talk about the purpose of life and our deeper sins,

Not about what jobs we can do,

What kind of people we should be worth.

These are just the choices we can make in life.

Today I want to talk about the purpose of life and the deeper sins from the spiritual perspective,

To talk about the clues as to why we were created to experience the reality that we are experiencing now,

So that you may find the clues to the blueprint of creation,

To find our destination as divinely untended.

Before I begin,

I just want to let you know that my goal is not for you to believe in what I say,

But rather for you to use my experiences as clues to help you find your own truth,

Your own path.

So let's begin.

I want to begin by reading something that I have written,

Which I think is quite helpful to open the mind.

Through studying creation,

One can learn about the Creator,

As creation will always reflect the nature of the Creator.

Like studying a piece of music,

The intention of the composer can be heard.

Like studying a piece of rock,

The nature of the mountain is known.

Thus if we wish to learn about the Creator,

We can study the nature of our minds.

So basically that's my approach to understanding the mysteries of the universe,

To know the Creator through studying its creations.

For instance,

We can study why is it that our minds are designed in such a way that it is right now,

With its abilities to perceive emotions,

To think,

To experience.

It is by studying the nature of these inner mechanisms that can bring us closer to see the Creator's intentions and its designs.

So let us study the mechanisms of the mind that we have at the moment to find the clues for that blueprint of creation.

And we can do this first by asking ourselves the question,

What do we desire in life?

We will no doubt reach the same answer,

Which is for the experience of happiness,

Of greater happiness.

This is the same question as,

What are we designed to desire for in life?

The blueprint for creation seems hidden,

But it was always there inside.

That is why the desire for happiness resonates deep within the mind,

Body and spirit.

But some of us may overlook it,

Because it's so obvious that we can end up overthinking the answer.

There are many answers to the mysteries of the universe that can be discovered from within,

If we look onwards and tune in to our feelings and intuition.

So now realize that greater happiness is the destination,

And realign your path and choices in life to reach them.

Not to live towards what others expect of you,

But towards what makes you happy.

For that is the divine intention for you to be happy.

But,

We have just brushed upon the surface and picked at a little bit of that blueprint of creation,

To reveal more of it,

One would have to explore the question of what is happiness.

So let's talk about what is happiness.

If we study what happiness is,

We can find many types of happiness,

Temporary happiness,

Excitement,

Addiction and so forth.

The seeker who wishes to know more about the blueprint of creation,

Will thus have to explore what happiness is,

To see how it's created,

How it can be achieved in the purpose of the design.

So let us look at what happiness is.

To study happiness,

We can study what happiness is not,

Which is unhappiness.

We then can explore that whole spectrum of that state of mind which is unhappiness,

And this will include all the negative states of the mind,

Emotions and body,

Such as anger,

Impatience,

Fears,

Discomfort,

And the list goes on.

We can then ask ourselves,

What is the cause for these negative states of the mind.

What we will discover is that,

Whenever we are in a negative state of mind,

We are in a state of self-rejection.

For instance,

Anger is a state of rejection towards others,

While selves,

Fears a state of rejection towards a situation or possibility of an outcome,

Impatience is the rejection of the present moment,

And so forth.

Basically unhappiness is the state of self rejection.

So it is from the state of self-rejection that gives birth to the suffering states of the mind.

So to know what the experience of happiness really is,

We can simply look at the opposite of the state of rejection,

And that is the state of acceptance.

That's it.

Happiness is the state of acceptance.

When we are in the state of accepting others,

While selves,

Or every moment that passes by,

We are in the state of happiness.

The state of acceptance is what promotes wisdom,

Clarity,

Happiness,

Union,

With all that is around us,

Becoming one with the Creator.

Now let us ask the question,

How can we create happiness in life?

There are many ways to be happy,

Whether it is buying nice clothes,

New gadgets,

Eating delicious food,

Watching an interesting movie,

But realize that the state of happiness produced by external triggers will always be temporary,

Because the happiness created in such a way will only last for as long as the experience.

So a more serious secret would ask,

How can I develop greater happiness which is beyond temporary happiness?

How can I develop everlasting happiness,

Happiness that comes naturally within,

Happiness that does not require an external trigger for it to be experienced?

And that will only leave us with one way,

Which is the journey of transforming the suffering states of the mind.

For instance,

To address our fears,

Anger,

Impatience,

Basically to transform the state of self-rejection into the state of self-acceptance.

This is the bigger picture,

This is the bigger work,

The journey of becoming ever more self-knowing,

Even more self-accepting.

This is the soul journey,

The journey of the soul.

So we are all on a journey towards greater happiness,

And that is also the journey of developing greater self-acceptance towards accepting others,

Accepting ourselves,

The world,

The moments that pass by,

So that we can reach even greater happiness,

Greater wisdom,

Greater knowing of the truth that all is one,

One is all.

So to summarize,

The purpose in life is to create greater happiness,

To reach towards happiness,

Not sadness.

On the surface,

This is about discovering and doing what makes you happy.

On the surface,

This is not about following other people's dreams,

But rather to follow your own dreams.

And make the effort to get there,

And this will take time,

But the steps you make now will help you to get there.

And the deeper purpose of life is to create greater happiness through addressing the unhappiness within,

To transform the negativity into positivity.

And this will be a journey of self-discovery,

To know our negativities,

And to work on them,

To let go of our fears,

A journey of learning how to accept ourselves and others,

Rather than to reject,

A journey of love and compassion,

A journey of self-transformation,

Of refining wisdom.

This is a journey towards deeper happiness,

Towards happiness that comes from oneness.

And this will surely take time,

But the more you trip away at the mountain of unhappiness within,

Bit by bit,

Day by day,

Year by year,

It will slowly fade away,

So that you can experience greater happiness,

Greater clarity in life.

So if you wish to live your purpose in life,

Reach for greater happiness,

Outside and inside.

Your body,

Mind and spirit is all calling for greater happiness.

Realize that this is the divine design for you to turn towards happiness,

Rather than to dwell in sadness.

So you can begin working on yourself by transforming your life on the outside.

Then if you wish to go deeper,

Begin to transform the life inside,

The mind.

And how do we begin the journey of transforming the mind?

Remember,

The key to greater happiness is to develop self-acceptance.

So from today,

Hold the intent to accept all the errors,

And let that intent be a guiding light to take you through the darkness and towards your destination,

Towards greater happiness,

Towards enlightenment.
