In each lifetime we are confronted with the challenge and opportunity of finding out what 'we' had planned for ourselves. Or in other words, we in our Personality are seeking to understand our Essence Plan. No small feat when you consider that the Personality often feels like it is 'going it alone' while our Essence is connected to the timelessness and infinite of the ALL - sometimes it can be a difficult 'meeting of the minds'. However, if we are willing to calm the Mind through meditation and contemplation it is possible to have an energetic dialogue with oneself about what this Plan truly is.
Additionally, our Essence is always seeking to 'clue us in' through direct experience in the tangible world and this information is available to us if we are able to pay attention. This is a foreign concept to many of us who were brought up in a society where we were taught to receive guidance and information in specific ways and from specific sources. Fortunately, we have innate abilities that have been handed down to all of us through our natural history that are available to direct towards this challenge. From our hunter/gatherer days we learned the skills of observing, tracking and stalking that which we were seeking. We can direct this focus into our daily lives of today. Whether at work, at home, in the grocery store, walking the dog, etc. - clues are available to us everywhere if we are simply willing to pay attention.
Just for today, direct your focus to everything that is going around you with the assumption that this is information for the taking. Look at everything in the physical world as if it were something that 'you' put there to remind yourself of why you are here and what you had planned for yourself. Consider that nothing is too small and nothing is too insignificant to be valuable to you in your quest. Just keep your eyes wide open.
What 'on Earth' are you here for anyway? :)
All the Best,
Whitney
