Life Purpose
And the Power of Intention
Dear friends,
So many in our world seem lost, like a ship with no rudder. They believe that the chase after fame and fortune or the American dream is what life is all about. Bombarded by media glitz and sexy advertising and competing with their friends and colleagues in the never-ending rat race to the top, they forget the importance of meaningful relationships and developing loving supportive community.
Deep in the core of every heart is a place where we just want to love and be loved. That's where we started as babies, yet that desire too often got covered many times over as we had to deal with all kinds of trauma and lack of love while growing up. We lost our rudder.
Below is a lesson from the profound Insight Course focused on developing and getting clear on your life purpose and the power of intention. The ideas and suggestions presented here can help you to see more clearly what your heart and soul want out of this life. Take these concepts to heart and you must may be surprised at how much more smoothly you can sail through the stormy waters.
With very best wishes for a transformed world,

Insight Course: Lesson 16
Life Purpose and
The Power of Intentions
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now. ~ Goethe
Well hidden in all the busyness and craziness of our world, an exciting paradigm shift is seeping through the cracks making itself apparent to all who have the eyes to see. Possibly the single most important action you can take to help this shift to a new paradigm based on love and empowerment is to get clear on your purpose and intentions in life, and to then live that purpose and follow those intentions to the very best of your ability.
Life purpose is a single statement of deep meaning about a person's reason for being. Life intentions provide direction for moving through specific challenges which can arise in any moment. Life purpose can be extremely useful for keeping ourselves on track in life from the larger perspective, while life intentions can give us direction at key choice points with which we are presented. For a fun, one-minute video demonstrating the power of intentions, click below:

All Insight Course participants are invited here to consider getting clear on their intentions and purpose in life. Those who are not clear can end up more easily being swayed by outside influences. When people are not clear about what they want in life, they often follow the path of least resistance, which sometimes means following unconscious desires or other people's suggestions which may or may not be in their best interest.
When we are clear on our deepest intentions and purpose, we can powerfully move through any challenges that might arise as we work together to create a new paradigm both for ourselves and our world.
Some of you have already done significant work on this, while others have yet to reach clarity. If you are already clear, we invite you to read through the guide at the link below as a review, and to open to new ideas which might help further refine what guides you through life.
For those who have little experience in this realm, we invite you to read this essay carefully and explore some of the many links provided so that you might become clear on both your deepest intentions and your greater purpose in this life.

We highly recommend that all course participants develop written statements of life purpose and intentions, so that both individually and collectively we can move more powerfully in our world and inspire others by the clear principles on which we base our lives.
At the end of this lesson, we will ask those registered for the course to write your life purpose and intentions along with your impressions of this material before moving on to the next lesson. Writing a statement like this can be a wonderful way of declaring yourself in the world and allowing others to offer you support and encouragement in living your purpose and intentions.
For those who join the community networking portal of our website, you will have a personal profile page describing you and your passions. Your life purpose and intentions will also be listed there. This allows our portal members to learn about these important aspects of each other, as well as providing a means for those with similar purpose and intentions to find and support each other, and to more powerfully work together to be the change in our lives and world.
To conclude this part of the lesson, please watch the moving one-minute video clip below of an unbelievably lucky man who found his life purpose and is using it to powerfully inspire both himself and others.

What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists ... and it becomes available only when you are in that state of mind in which you know exactly what you want ... and are fully determined not to quit until you get it. ~ Alexander Graham Bell
The less clear a person is of their deepest life intentions and purpose, the more easily they tend to be influenced by the world around them. The more clear they are, the more powerfully they influence the world around them, and so can create the life they envision.
The second part of this lesson is optional. For those interested in exploring more of the big picture, the below link will take you to about a dozen paradigm-shifting essays, most between two and twenty pages in length, which provide valuable information from a mega-perspective about what is happening in our world.
You have already read two of these essays in previous lessons. For those who are ready for more, pick one or more of the essays at this link that you haven't read to explore the information presented. Be prepared that some of these dive deeper down the rabbit hole. Yet by informing ourselves, we can be more effective in promoting transformation in our lives and world.
For those who choose to take this option, enjoy this opportunity to dive even deeper into all that is happening in our world, and don't forget that any time you find yourself feeling contracted, you can breathe sacred love or use the ho'oponopono healing technique. We can combine the knowledge gained here with our life purpose and intentions to powerfully shift our paradigm and transform our world.

And to end this lesson on a fun note, enjoy the two engaging videos below. The first nine-minute video takes a humorous look at the big picture question of where we originally came from. The second is an inspiring three-minute video titled "Love is Energy." May the love and joy here energize your life purpose and intentions.

Take Action: Suggested Activities to Be the Change
- Write down your life intentions and purpose and post them where you can see them easily to be frequently reminded of what you really want in life. When you wake up in the morning and just before going to bed at night, remind and recommit yourself to your purpose and intentions.
- Open to guidance and suggestions from friends, family, and your spirit guides in refining and further developing your intentions. Ask for feedback and support in living the life you envision. For every challenge you face in life, you can develop an intention to guide you when the going gets rough.
- Consider breathing sacred love as one of your intentions and join us in strengthening the web of love which interconnects all beings.
- Notice when unconscious parts of yourself (thoughts, feelings, desires) arise to block you from following your deeper intentions and purpose. Acknowledge these parts and find a way to give them a voice. Engage in some kind of dialog with these conflicting parts of yourself, inviting them to harmonize with your deeper intentions.
- What do you think is the meaning of life? How is this related or not related to the purpose and intentions you have developed for yourself?
