Stage
one - AWAKENING
In stage one, we are the restless. We go through life asleep to our
true purpose for existing. We feel restless, searching for meaning in
the meaningless things of the world. We live a never-ending search,
looking for happiness and peace in everything outside of ourselves.
At some point, we realize we are barking up the wrong tree and turn
within. Many times this will be brought on by a crisis in our lives.
Eventually we start to awaken to the idea that we were born to make
a difference; that there has to be something more to our lives. We are
not just cogs in some machine. We realize that who we truly are is important
and that we have something meaningful to contribute to the world, even
though we may not know exactly what that something is. It is at this
point of awakening that we enter stage two and begin the journey of
finding out exactly why we are here and what we are supposed to do with
our lives.
Stage
two - DISCOVERY
In stage two, we are seekers, determined to discover what is our gift,
what it is that we love to do? We start noticing what we really enjoy
doing for the pure joy of it versus for money and recognition. Eventually
we understand without a doubt what it is that we love to do, and we
realize that this is our gift for the world. Once we realize what this
gift is, we can enter stage three.
Stage
three - INITIATION
In stage three, we are artist, determined to cultivate our gifts and
win the battle against our ego and the many inner demons that arise
to convince us that we are not worthy, not good enough, or that no one
will need what we have to offer. We will deal with issues of survival,
and money. But eventually we will defeat these demons. We will begin
to understand that there is a larger purpose for what we love to do;
that there is a loving higher power that is guiding us; that what we
love to do is a necessary and meaningful part of healing the planet.
At this point, fears about survival will be washed away by our deep
desire to help make the world a better place. We will finally answer
the questions: "Why am I here?" and "What am I supposed
to do with my life?" When we realize that we are to heal the world
with our gifts, we enter stage four.
Stage
four - PURPOSE
In stage four--the last and final stage--our life purpose has become
clear. It is clear who we are, why we are here, what are our gifts,
and how we are to use these gifts to heal the planet. Now our focus
shifts from what we can get with our gifts to how can we can give and
contribute unconditionally. Now we see that there is much work to be
done. No longer do we stand back and feel powerless. With God at our
side, and his love in our hands, we boldly jump into the fray. When
we give of our gifts freely and unconditionally to the world, we have
become dream masters!
