The Word
What is purpose?
A Definition: Purpose is the reason why something is done or used; the aim or intention of something; the feeling of being determined to do or achieve something as is the aim or goal of a person.
What a person is trying to do or in essence become, while remaining on a path toward joy and compassion, informs purpose. Purpose reveals the quality of a person. This quality can be understood as a respect for doing and/or being, the masculine and feminine principles of life in its wholeness.
Tests of character can be seen in the blockages toward manifesting purpose. These blockages or challenges are the possibilities in which gifts of darkness can be turned into light through creativity. Creativity is the process and end result of combining the masculine and feminine principles. Time is the greatest test of character because it is through time that maturity is ripened.
The maturity of women wanting to become spiritual guides deep in their souls is the salvation of humanity. This salvation comes about through the preservation of the feminine spirit and its deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss. Through the conscious release of wanting to be in competition with men, women can remain in the worth of the feminine.
The purpose of women is not to look for worth but to live worth as a student of worth, a spiritual guide, a woman valued in union, or any combination of these. Women assisting in the guidance of relationship are only benefitted by men willing to value guidance. A partnership of mutual intention between the masculine and feminine is required to nurture equity with equilibrium. As a result, the purpose of humanity as a whole is supported and the joyful union of partnership is increased.
Respecting the spirit of life, the feminine, is a man’s recognition of women’s influence. Without a respect for the feminine, men can no longer respect themselves as they are the other half of humanity – the polarity of life. Joy is reduced as men claim their independence from women; however doing this may grant men a separate consciousness, which allows them to mature through purpose and manhood. The joy of emotion may be deferred or even blocked. It is in these times that men need to discover who they are and who they aspire to become by answering for themselves the question, “How am I a man of value to myself?”
Women as spiritual guides, in honoring men’s needs to mature, have only to protect their worth as women and offer goodwill as an opportunity for men to be in relationship. The stillness of women is the home of peace. Women who assist boys and men in their growth and maturity illustrate how to be mothers of the world. Mothering entails creating relationships not out of fear, which is limiting to soul growth, but through intention, time, and building trust. For women to manifest purpose collectively and be the influence of change for humanity, we must embrace and revel in our commonality and clarify our intentions. That commonality requires a respect of the feminine, a union of spirit, and an understanding of our gender identity.
The Soul Gift
How is purpose created in such a way to bring women together for the spiritual guidance of humanity? For some time now, I have seen how change manifests itself often through discontent, but is there a way for change to occur through aspiring to honor oneself?
As women, you are the spirits of change, but this is a question of evolutionary consciousness, a change unlike any other, a change that is brought through you and because of you. Do you think it is time to believe in collective fulfillment?
Humanity needs you. To assert your identity as if you were a man complicates relationships. If you wanted to be a man, how would that serve you? Do you think that being a woman is without purpose?
If women came to know their nature, the possibilities for being in relationship could be enhanced and instead of feeling attacked for their worth, women could live it and manifest healing through goodwill. With an understanding of the dynamics of love as a balance in the integrity of relationship, your experience as a woman can begin to shift into joy. Receptivity, however vulnerable, can be viewed as a means to nurture the potential flow of life through which life is enhanced. By understanding purpose, the emotional health of women can increase.
Reflect on this … “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
―Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Airman’s Odyssey
Cherish bringing clarity to the purpose of your life as a woman.
The Survey
Do you think it is possible for women to come together collectively to honor themselves and their sisters?
Do you think it is possible for women to come together collectively to honor themselves and their sisters? (y/n/depends)
If yes: Fantastic! We appreciate your contributions to the enlightened way. We look forward to sharing the path together.
If no: It is difficult to imagine that our self worth can be supported by other women. So much of our humanity is a struggle for survival that often our fears can take precedence over self-acceptance and goodwill. Choosing to honor yourself and other women is the decision to accept your own humanity and understand that women may have priorities different from your own. Perhaps when women know and value interdependence, a time will come when our focus can be one of mutual deliberation.
If depends: As all things and people are interconnected, we must all learn to listen. Learning to listen can foster peace while not listening can lead to frustration as a demanding requirement of change and revolution. How do you think women can come together to honor themselves?
