Currently, we are experiencing the demise of a world view and the breakup of the symbols that once functioned within it. As a result, life has become more brittle, institutions have become more hollow, and the sense of collective ethics and ideals crumbles before our weary eyes.

Amidst the current flood of troubling and unsettling events it is easy to feel lost in all the chaos and discouraged by all the conflicts. Yet, it is when we lose our sense of being ensouled that we can be said to be living in darkness and lacking the protection and guidance of our natural way of seeing and being. For, without the soul connection life can seem, not just overwhelming, but also random and pointless.

In the midst of all the political chaos and growing fears for the future, we have our best chance of living with meaning and being resilient if we find the purpose set within our own heart and soul. Awakening to our life purpose involves an alignment with our inner genius, a connection to our core sense of character and a revelation of ways we are intended to serve the community of souls.

Contemporary research shows that having a genuine sense of purpose can lead to living longer, while being emotionally and spiritually healthier. Ancient wisdom suggests that living with purpose makes us more resilient and creative, while at the same time having something meaningful to contribute to the healing and renewal of the living world.
