Understanding Our Higher Purpose

Image

I believe that everyone has a higher purpose in our world, and it is up to each of us to find what that is.  I was lost for a long time unsure of who I am, and what to do.  I struggled at everything I did, and never really understood why. When my Kundalini rose in March 2011, I began my spiritual journey on my path to self discovery, and trying to understand why I was so unhappy with failed relationships and friendships, and constantly running from my life and myself.

In January 2012, I heard a calling to move to a small city in the mountains, and take a job at a small college there. This job is quite different from any of my previous jobs in that I work now with students who are sexually assaulted, harassed, and discriminated against.  This voice also told me that I must do a certain amount of emotional healing to be able to do this job to help others because of my own childhood abuse.

As I have begun to heal from the trauma of my abuse during these past two years, I have come to realize that I am not only helping the victims in these cases that I work on, but also the individuals accused of these acts. What I have discovered is that as I learn compassion, and unconditional love toward myself, I feel these for the accused as well.  I believe that I am helping these individuals particularly the students to change their behaviors and help them turn their lives around. My responsibility is not to punish these individuals, but to help them help themselves to find more productive and better quality lives.

As I work to understand myself on my journey, I have begun to better understand my world.  May you find your higher purpose in life.  ~ Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
