Many people are conditioned to create a vision for a happy life and set out to realize it. Such a vision tends to include a profession and situation imagined to be fulfilling. And yet, as life challenges arise, shake us up, our experience deepens, and curiosity arises. People can go through whatever formalities are deemed necessary in life, but these never interfere with what is most important. When ready, we choose to go beyond the familliar to uncover something more.
As we realize we create our lives, it dawns that we also have the power to change how we create and what we see. It also grows clearer that some people create a bigger illusion of importance for themselves than others. Adopted filters block seeing more clearly. To allow ourselves to develop is to grow conscious of our capacity to look at things differently. When ready, it dawns that laying a foundation for a whole new life is unrelated to conditioned ideas of who we are.
We exist for those for whom we exist. Every encounter we create to help us recognize perception, explore new connections and opportunities for growth. To perceive what is really going on in our lives and the Universe, one need only look into one's self without filters. Everything we devise arises so we get-to-know thoughts, feelings, emotions and aspects of Self often missed. Everything we uncover depends on the purity of our thoughts and the motive for asking. All experience invites us to tap into more confidence so we do what feels right even if it scares us.
In Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone, some characters say "there is no such thing as magic." Those that experience a different reality hold a different view on magic and what is possible. The wizard Dumbledore says, "The time comes Harry when we must choose between what is right and what is easy." Thus, purpose evolves with us, how we choose to grow and redefine priorities.
