The entire purpose of life is the merger back into the union, the Universe.
Michael A. Singer
What is my dharma? Is a question I often ask myself. Or other words: "What is my purpose?"
Of course, the question would be better served if I removed the "my" from it lol...but...I want to know what I am to do withis Life I have been given. I can depersonalize that question a bit by stepping back and asking "What is the purpose, each of us 'humans,' are meant to serve?"
Michael A. Singer tells us our purpose is to simply experience, express, and evolve. We do not do that for the sake of the "little me", the psyche - that self concept we created and over-identified with...we do it for the Source that created us. We are here to allow consciousness experience the Life we are picking up with our senses on this little spot of Earth we are standing/sitting/lying on. We are a conduit for It to experience and express Life through. We, like all species, keep evolving so this Consciousness can expand...so it can experience and express more and more.
You are not here for you...you are an instrument of divine will...
Consciousness is constantly reaching out so it can experience life better...this is evolution...the divine force is reaching out through form, and form is constantly changing...the physical body becomes a better house for God to express HimSelf [somewhat paraphrased]
...a plant can reach out to the sun...that is consciousness reaching out to express itself through form...creating a dance.
So, we are dancing. Cool!
We are not the choreographers or main dancers in this dance but we do get to dance. Each step we take on our bloody old point shoes should be made with consciousness in mind. "What is the best way for this next step to be one that makes this dance a beautiful experience and expression of Life, for Life?" Every step we take should take us back into the union the dance creates.
I get that. I do. And I try to consciously do what I can to experience and express in a way that serves the moment in front of me. My motivations are less and less about this "me". (Don't get me wrong...that "me" is still around.) Yet, I still don't know if I...as a body-and-mind-conduit for the consciousness to experience through... am dancing in a way that honors the dance or if I am just tripping over everyones feet lol. I am not hearing clear directions and instructions, any constructive feedback from the choreographer. So, I don't really know where on stage to be. I move in the shadows...expressing and experiencing back here...assuming this is where I am supposed to be.
"Is this where I am supposed to be? Does consciousness want to experience these shadow areas through this human I call me? Is this my dharma- to experience and express from back here where I am not seen by others and things are a little more challenging? Tell me this is my dharma and I will embrace it! "
I put that question out there but I don't hear anything back.
At the same time I recognize the heliotropic instinct in me. The same natural inclination, I see in my little plant as it stretches its branches out toward the sun. I feel a pull toward the light. So, sometimes I step up into the lime light but instantly question if I should be there. I ask, timidly, "Am I suppose to be dancing up here? Am I good enough?"
I get no answer. I get no external validation for being seen, there is no obvious rewards or changes in life circumsatnces to indicate that the universe is approving of my move forward...my expressive movements...so I, as this body and mind, assume I need more practice. My dancing isn't pure enough. I go back to the shadows. the shadows that I am okay with because they are familiar. At the same time, it is heavy back here, overcrowded with stumbling dancers who are suffering from so many injuries being human causes. I cannot help but see them...feel for them. And because there is less light and pay for shadow dancers... we are all just "struggling dancers" back here, trying to make a living and get by. One, then, begins to associate with the darkness and the difficulty. I get a wee bit too focused on the challenges and the negative things in life. Though I still love to dance...I often forget why I am dancing. Do I experience and express Life in a way that serves consciousness, when I do that? Definitely not.
Hmm! Does that make sense? Does anyone else feel like they are loving the dance but would like a little more direction and feedback about their role in the dance?
Thus, the question, often added on to the question, "What is my dharma?" We add, "How will I know if I am doing what I am supposed to be doing; if I am expressing and experiencing in a way that honors Life?"
Michael Singer reminds us,
If it isn't your job, Life will let you know.
Hmm! So, I guess I will keep stepping up dancing my heart out....and wait to actually hear, "Okay...you in the first row...go back....you are not quite evolved enough. You have more inner work to do. " If I hear that feedback, I will just smile, thank the choreographer, and go back to the work of becoming a better dancer. If I don't hear that...I will keep dancing in the light. Afterall, it is not about "me" as an individual dancer...it is about the dance.
All is well
