Our Soul Contract

For over 20 years, Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross consulted with the dying. She discovered that most of them shared a profound regret: they had not lived their life's purpose. Many never even discovered the reason they were born. In their final moments, they realized that success, money, and wealth were not what mattered. Before we are born, our souls are given a mission—a life we are intended to live. This means fulfilling what God or the Divine has planned for us. Yet without the contemplation found in meditation or prayer, and without a conscious decision to align with a higher will, we cannot follow this purpose. In centuries past, people would seek guidance. They would pray, then consult the Tarot, the I Ching, a pendulum, or randomly open a sacred text to find a message meant for them. Today, we just pick up our phones. Is it any wonder the Western world seems to lurch from one catastrophe to the next? We must learn to train our intuition and trust it more than outdated rules, dogmas, or obsolete assumptions. For centuries, India's rigid caste system denied intuition in favor of ancient rules, leading to catastrophic societal results. With our birth, we forget our mission. Even worse, our parents often do not guide us toward our true calling. Society, media, and social media then manipulate us to function within their rules. We become defined by others' expectations. We ignore our inner voice and our connection to the Divine until we can no longer hear them at all. After my second Near-Death Experience, I knew I had been wrong. I had suffered tremendously for things that don't truly matter—success, money, fitting in. I was bullied for being different, yet I still tried to conform, even though I was—and am—a misfit. That experience changed my life completely. I found true love and learned to enjoy a life that had previously felt impossible. Most people waste their first 60 years doing what others expect of them instead of what they genuinely desire. Often, we must walk the wrong path to find the true one. According to Dr. Kübler-Ross, every soul has specific work to do. In our lives, we encounter patterns and hints of what we are meant to live. Yet these callings often feel inconvenient, so we choose the path of suffering instead. There are moments when we feel a quiet nudge to do something, whether others approve or not. We frequently ignore it because it doesn't seem to make logical sense. We have trained our minds to mute our inner calling, opting instead for distractions or actions that offer immediate profit or gain. We tell ourselves to be serious, practical, and to fit in—and in doing so, we silence our soul. So ask yourself, every night before you sleep: What am I here for? Keep asking until you know the answer. My Video: Our Soul Contract My Audio:
