So often I am asked to help people find what their world service (purpose) is. This question usually comes in the midst of being dis-satisfied with their current job and/or life situation. What they are actually looking for is not a job, but the experience of peace, fulfillment, well-being and the sharing of love with another. It is the experience of their Divine connection and their Oneness they seek, which naturally brings fulfillment, wholeness and the end of separation.

We have been conditioned to separate our "work" from our "pleasure". There are work-related activities and there are recreational-related activities, and the two don’t usually mix.....unless you are able to tap into your true calling, your unique purpose for being. Ultimately, each of us is here to realize God, to experience the Divine in and through ourselves and to spread that light to the world in whatever way is appropriate for our particular form. In the process of this discovery and expression, comes the means by which we manifest that realization externally. This could be termed our "purpose" while in a human body. Of course, simultaneous to this process, karma is cleared, awareness is expanded and we come to embody the highest vibration of unconditional love. It is our dis-satisfaction and disillusionment with the external world that acts as a catalyst for our discovery and expansion....so don’t ever think these feelings are somehow "wrong". Feelings of dis-satisfaction are a gift, they are the reason you are able to discover (and experience) fulfillment.

The way in which you manifest the Divine in and through your form is uniquely suited to your particular experience, physiology, beliefs, preferences, and modes of expression. Even the environment you find yourself in (country, city, society, family, etc.) plays a role, everything is perfectly orchestrated and suited to you. The way to discover what this is, is to follow what brings you joy. Do what makes you happy! This sounds like the simplest thing in the world, doesn’t it? But to do so requires your accepting that you are already worthy of love, joy, happiness and peace. To be happy requires your letting go of any effort to change yourself. Your happiness and fulfillment will flow out of that acceptance.

This is built into the human condition...when you do what brings you joy, you naturally tap into the Divine Source because your vibration matches the highest expression available to you. This is sometimes expressed as, "As you teach, so you learn". It is a wonderful catch-22 situation. You enjoy what you are doing, your vibration is lightened, you attract others who can benefit from your expression of joy, which becomes your world service. Effortlessly and naturally...

The key is not to get attached to what you think your service and expression should be. If you are true to yourself, it will change as you do. My service began when my Kundalini awakened and brought with it the intuitive abilities of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience. I began using these abilities to assist others through giving intuitive readings. At that time, this service brought me joy because it aided my continuing expansion of awareness, helping me to understand our energetic connection, the Kundalini process and our Divine origin. As my awareness grew, the joy and sense of fulfillment from giving these sessions was no longer there. I had expanded and evolved, through my world service, to a higher understanding which required that I stop offering intuitive readings and focus on energetic healing, teaching and writing. My world service evolved and I followed that expansion by following what brought me joy.

So, the key to manifesting your world service (and your own growth and expansion) is to follow what brings you joy. The two feed each other in a wonderfully magnificent way. This is how the body of God expands and feeds itself. Once you are in touch with your Divine self, and the false front of ego is gone, you will find it easier to follow your joy because you will not resist the external changes that naturally follow the changes within you. While the ego is still in control, you will fear following your joy because you will be holding onto the external for comfort and security, even if it is making you miserable. You will sabotage yourself, doubt yourself and create all sorts of fears around following your joy. At the heart of this sabotage is the deep rooted belief that you are not worthy of experiencing joy, happiness and love...and thus the struggle throughout your life to just be happy.

If you are ready to give up the struggle, follow your joy and manifest your world service, it is time to surrender. Resolve to follow your joy.....no matter what the external circumstances. It may mean you sell your home, file bankruptcy, leave your relationship, move across the country, or just sit in contemplation of your own worth until you are ready to let go of these limitations to your total fulfillment as a Divine being. Your world service is not going to happen if you look to the external first. You must give yourself permission to be happy, to pursue joy within yourself, to expand past your fears and to know that you are already worthy of everything...it is your birthright...the unconditional truth of who you are. Only then will life be effortless...and your world service manifested.
