    Wouldn’t life be great if you came to earth with a written instruction manual telling you who you were, what you were going to be and what you have to do to find your meaning and purpose in your life?

    Please forgive me for being a little “Spiritual” at this point but you did make such a plan when you were in Spirit, and I am calling it your Soul Contract. It has also been called your Chart. You made it with the help of your “Spiritual Team” being all those guiding and protecting you and other Elders whom you sought counsel within Spirit.

    Back to the world you know and can experience with all your five senses.

    Before you can find your meaning and purpose, you first have to decide who you are regarding your character and personality you have elected to portray in this lifetime.

    I have recently finished reading Sylvia Browne’s book Life on the Other Side, co-authored with Lindsay Harrison, and subtitled A Psychic’s Tour of the Afterlife.

    This book is the first one I have read authored by Sylvia Browne, and I found her knowledge of a subject that I have researched for years, the Afterlife, an excellent summation of what I have read before from other Authors on this topic.

    Of course, most people will have stopped reading this by now and think I have a screw loose. I am not trying to win any popularity contest. For many years I was anonymous as an Author until informed by my Guides to make my name more visible for greater credibility in the cause I selected as the meaning and purpose of my life.

    Sylvia Browne and her Spirit Guide Francine have identified forty- four Life Themes from which we chose one or more of to be portrayed in this lifetime.This appears in the Appendix of the book, and I heartedly recommend you purchase the book if only to identify which one or more Life Themes you currently portray as this will determine your meaning and purpose in this lifetime.

    I will list these Life Themes but refrain from explaining them to you as this will infringe on their copyright and trust by such listing I am not overstepping the copyright provisions:

    Activator; Aesthetic Pursuits; Analyser; Banner Carrier; Builder; Catalyst; Cause; Fighter; Controller; Emotionality; Experiencer; Irritant; Justice:Lawfulness; Leader; Loner; Loser; Manipulator; Passivity; Patience; Pawn; Peacemaker; Performer; Persecution; Persecutor; Poverty; Psychic; Rejection; Rescuer; Responsibility; Spirituality; Survival; Temperance; Tolerance; Victim; Victimiser; Warrior; Winner.

    None of these Life Themes is easily understood merely by their title. Each one has a balance within them that requires correct behaviour to ensure that the meaning and purpose behind the Life Themes chosen are achieved.

    I will give you a clue and say that choosing to be a Victim in this lifetime is one of the most courageous and invaluable Life Themes to chose. So not is all that it seems from the title of the Life Themes.

    Once you know what Life Themes you have chosen, then you can begin to get a better understanding of the meaning and purpose of your life.

    In your decision to return to earth and to chose your life here down to its minutest detail, you needed to experience the negative issues that required you face up to and overcome these issues that remain unresolved in the wholeness of who You truly are. These are gaping holes in your soul that need repairing so that you can become complete in your wholeness and some would say your holiness!

    You chose your Life Themes based on fixing these gaping holes in your soul, and that is the true meaning and purpose of your life this time around.

    It takes tremendous courage to leave the Unconditional Love in Spirit and come down to earth and face the negativity that needs to be overcome. You do so because of the eternal growth of your Soul towards wholeness and holiness of the perfection we call Creator/Source/ Universe and other such names for the Deity.

    Finding your meaning and purpose is the starting point for repairing those gaping holes in your soul.

    I’ve often wondered… what if ones “Soul Contract” theme chosen was to struggle with the question of meaning and purpose. In such a case a person would be fulfilling their purpose by not knowing their purpose.

    With regards to the idea of Soul Contract on the one hand I can see the benefit of believing that I choose to experience the theme of suffering/depression in this life time. (the exercise of free will happening before consciousness) What can I do I chose it might as well go all in and experience it fully without worrying about it? Ah but the theme includes the experience of wanting to overcome the depression as that’s part of the experience of suffering. There is no way out. No free will, all the choices made before consciousness.

    The image that comes to mind is a soul voyeur going on vacation in an experience simulator, the avatar a play thing of the soul. Perhaps life in the spirit realm is boring and the soul longs to feel something, so anything it feels pain or joy is good but I find no comfort in that.

    Hi Peter,

    Spiritual evolvement is not an intellectual exercise but rather the emptying out of your mind to allow the Spirit to enter it with all its infinite wisdom. Knowledge and the search for knowledge can be considered an ego-based pursuit while emptying out your mind to access the gap between your thoughts is where the infinite wisdom is found via soul -based love. For this reason, meditation is practised globally and has been done so for thousands of years.

    If I may offer you some advice. Stop thinking and simply be. Open your mind and your life and be like an empty bucket waiting for the gap between your thoughts to fill you with infinite wisdom as you tap into what I term God’s Space, which only occurs in the present moment of now.

    Thanks Neville

    Of course, my “Spiritual Team” selected the theme of “thinking to much” for my soul to live out. So I’m fulfilling my purpose. ?

    “Open your mind and your life and be like an empty bucket waiting for the gap between your thoughts to fill you with infinite wisdom” I like that, and to fulfill my purpose I must ask, how thought, action and wisdom relate to each other. If I think about what is filling the bucket do I change the substance of what is in the bucket, yet if I do not think about it and make it conscious what is learned, what is wisdom?

    The first meaning of emptiness is called “emptiness of essence,” which means that phenomena [that we experience] have no inherent nature by themselves.” The second is called “emptiness in the context of Buddha Nature,” which sees emptiness as endowed with qualities of awakened mind like wisdom, bliss, compassion, clarity, and courage. Ultimate reality is the union of both emptinesses – Ari
