Ep. 513 - Finding Calling and Purpose in Life

This episode explores how in times of crisis we are called to undertake an expansion of identity and grow a greater sense of soul in order to avoid being overwhelmed by radical changes that disrupt both nature and culture. Importantly, the innate inheritance of each soul includes surprising capacities for creativity and renewal as well as instincts for survival. Each person born has specific genius qualities and each has a calling that can lead to psychological growth and finding a genuine life purpose. Typically, the issue is not a lack of calling, the problem is hearing the call and heeding it amidst all the distractions and uncertainties of modern life. A genuine life purpose is not an optional choice, but something set within our hearts waiting to be revealed. The struggles we encounter and the losses we suffer can open pathways to the center of the self where purpose waits to be found, where vitality can be renewed and where spirit whispers the nature of our calling in life.
