My scheduled Deeksha occurred last Sunday as usual. This was Deeksha number five.
Nothing unusual happened during the almost two hours my sister, her friend and I attended the meeting. Much of the time was spent bonding with the practitioners, Angela, Shane, and their cat.
We were expecting Jane, another Deeksha giver to be there and add to the energy. Jane was the one who gave me my first two Deekshas. She did stop by for a couple of minutes after the Deeksha was over, just to touch base. In the book, it is reported that the Deeksha can be much stronger with others attending, either givers or receivers.
Although the floating or calming feeling has remained with all of us, nothing different was noticed during the week, except for one exception. Tuesday evening was an incredibly upsetting night for me. I was at war with my pillow, mattress, and comforter for four hours before I finally fell to sleep. I couldn't get comfortable and I was determined not to give in and get up-it was a mistake!
When I did finally manage to get to sleep, I had horrible nightmares and dreams. I did mention a cleansing period in "part three" but I didn't expect that I would go through this again. I went through this when I took up the "holosync" program several years ago. It's not a pleasant experience and I thought I had left that all behind. The characters and images were old news that I thought I had put to rest. Neither my sister nor her friend has gone through this. I have had more blessings than them and it may come up later in their experience.
Our next Deeksha was scheduled for today at the home of Angela and Shane. They weren't there when we arrived and we have not heard from them all week. We were most disappointed and returned to my home to look for another local blessing giver. The book said it is common for seven to eight weeks to go by before one would notice changes and we want to move forward.
I went to the blessing site on the internet to find another local practitioner. We found another listed with no contact number and another in a neighbouring town.
I am beginning to think we are awfully hard on our practitioners and they don't want to be involved. As a group we do ask a lot of questions and talk extensively. We are anxious to live out the Deeksha experience so my sister made contact with the out-of-town practitioner and made an appointment with him for herself and her friend later today. I declined as it is a longer drive for me. There is a local drop-in once a week, but that was also cancelled this week. So, it has become fairly obvious that I will not have a Deeksha this week. As I don't believe in coincidence, the missing blessing this week must have a purpose.
I remain…

What's Your Life Purpose?
While it's true some people seem to find their life purpose easier than others, it's also true that God really does have a plan for every single person, even if it takes a while to see what it is.

Most people think finding your life purpose means doing something you truly love. It's an area that just seems natural to you and things just seem to fall into place.

But what if things aren't so clear for you? What if you're not sure what your gifts are? What if you haven't discovered any particular talent that makes you think it could be your true calling in life? Or what if you're working somewhere and you're good at it, but you just don't feel fulfilled? Is this all there is for you?

Don't panic. You're not alone. There are lots of people in the same boat. Take a look at the Disciples. Now, there's a diverse group. Before Jesus came on the scene, they were fishermen, tax collectors, farmers, etc. They must've been good at what they were doing because they were feeding their families and making a living.

But then they met Jesus, and their true calling came into focus very quickly. What the Disciples didn't know is that God wanted them to be happy MORE than they did. And following God's plan for their lives made them happy inside, where it really matters. What a concept, huh?

Do you suppose it could be true for you too? That God wants you to be truly happy and fulfilled MORE than you do?

And Your Next Step Is......

The next step in finding your life purpose is right in the book. All you have to do is read it. The Bible says Jesus told His disciples they were supposed to love one another as He loved them. And He wasn't kidding. Getting really good at this part of the process is like building the basement of your house. You wouldn't dream of moving forward without a rock solid foundation.

Discovering God's purpose for your life is exactly the same. The foundation of the process means getting really good at being a Christian. Yup, that means being nice to people even when you don't feel like it, forgiving people, and oh yes....loving the unlovable people in the world.

So.....what does all that stuff have to do with what I'm supposed to be when I grow up? Everything. When you get good at being a Christian, you also get good at hearing from God. He's able to use you. He's able to work through you. And it's through that process that you'll discover your true purpose in life.

But What About Me and My Life?

So if you get really great at being a Christian, or at least, you think you are.....and you still haven't found that true purpose......then what?

Getting really good at being a Christian means you stop thinking about you all the time. Take the focus off you and look for ways to be a blessing to someone else. There is no better way to receive help and direction in your own life than to focus on someone else. It seems completely opposite of what the world tells you. After all, if you're not looking out for yourself, then who will? Well....that would be God.

When you focus on someone else's business, God will focus on yours. It's planting seeds in great soil, and now you simply need to wait for God to bring a harvest into your life. And in the meantime......

Step Out and Try It

Working with God to find your life purpose means working as a team. When you take a step, God takes a step.

Be willing to try some things that interest you. You will know very quickly if you've found the right thing for you. Doors will either open or slam shut. Either way, you'll know where you stand.

Be Patient. Wanting to know everything right this second is pretty common these days. Learning to trust that God will show you when He's ready.....now, that takes patience. God isn't going to show you every piece of the puzzle all at once. If He did, you'd get that "deer in the headlights" look, because you'd be so overwhelmed by it all. Not to mention you'd be overly tempted to come up with a back-up plan "just in case" things didn't work out.

Don't waste your time on things you KNOW aren't from God. "Get rich quick" schemes never work. Finding a Christian husband or wife won't happen if you're focused on activities and events that don't involve Christians. And participating in things you know are wrong....well, you're simply prolonging your answers.

Don't let the people around you talk you into things. Just because it all sounds like a good idea from the world's view doesn't mean it's God's plan for you. Following God's leading sometimes means you have to say no to many well-meaning family members or friends. It comes down to the decision to follow, no matter where it leads.

Lastly, DON'T ever give up. You may not know your specific purpose today or tomorrow, but as long as you're really great at being a Christian, and your heart is open......you WILL find God and He WILL find you.

The Oneness Blessing (Part Three)
Along with my sister and her friend, I attended my fifth Deeksha or Oneness Blessing today—one week following my fourth Deeksha.
The past week has been an emotionally, physically and intellectually challenging period as I was at a rare all-time low in all aspects. I have been disappointed at the results of the Deeksha, expecting of course that I would be walking on water by now or at the very least be in a totally different space or awareness.
All week I have been anxious, frustrated and impatient. This forced me into taking action, and I painted some of the rooms in my house. This may be a positive reaction to the Deeksha as I have had the paint chips on my kitchen table for three years, unable to motivate myself or even choose the colours.
In parts one and two I mentioned that I have noticed less stress through the day. However, this last week it seemed as though I was back to where I was before the Deeksha. It may not be that I am experiencing more stress, but have become accustomed to less, and it is now the norm. The floating feeling is still there, sort of half drunk or in a twilight zone. I have been emotionally drained and only feel a strong sense of anxiousness, like something is going to happen. Like a bus that is late, it has not reached my expectations or it may have come early and I missed it.
This is the state of awareness I have been in for some time now. So I am reluctant to say it a result of the Deeksha. It may just be that I am more aware of this feeling at this time.
Often when one moves into a new awareness there is a cleansing period which is emotionally upsetting. You must get rid of the old baggage in order to have room for the new. The Buddhists would say you must empty your cup of the old tea, before you have room for the new tea. It makes perfectly good sense, and it is definitely disconcerting.
My sister’s experience has been one of less stress as well, and the floating feeling. She says there is an awareness of a change or change to come. It’s like sitting on the edge, a knowingness that wasn’t there before, but you just can’t put your finger on it.
Her friend, who has now had the two Deekshas, says she notices less stress and drama in her life over the first week. Usually she would have yelled at one or two people at work, but has not raised her voice to anyone last week.
So there is some consensus amongst us. We are all experiencing the same things as we always have, but we are not witnessing them as drama, and with indifference, as events which pass quickly.
I finished the book last week and wished I had waited longer. I read about people who have experienced radical and profound events after the Deeksha. Their lives have been completely turned around and miracles have happened—while others have been disappointed and angered by the lack of results. I am somewhat of the later. My expectations are still high, but I am impatient.
Spiritually however, radical change may not work for me. One can only accept change within one’s ability to adjust to it—within the purpose or positive benefit of the experience. Being overwhelmed may not work for many. It may be like something whizzing though your field of vision at super sonic sound—you may feel the effects, but the experience would not be complete or meaningful.
I will schedule another Deeksha for next week, but I’m not sure if I will report on it. I am not really sure about my objectivity and ability to note the subtle changes which may benefit you or help you decide to try it out.
However, it wouldn’t hurt for you to read the book in the mean time, so I will repeat the name of it here. It’s written by Arjuna Ardagh and is titled “Awakening into Oneness.” ISBN: 978-1-59179-573-5
